Watch all Youtube Videos as Default in High Quality : Including 720 p Videos ! [ Script Update ]

Hello Humanoids . You must be aware of tons of greasemonkey scripts available for Youtube , such as Youtube Enhancer, random color changing scripts and lots more , but i have always been a user of this script which can run Youtube Videos in High Quality ( this script can even run 720 p ! - that's freaking clear man ) .

And yes , if you are in doubt if there are videos which are True 720 p resolution video on Youtube , then clear your doubts : There are hundreds of them over there on YOutube, you can have a glance at the list created by code developer here .

Firstly , How do i Install the script ?

To install this script , you need to have Firefox . To install this script , you need to install an addon called : Greasemonkey . Once you install the addon , go to this link and click on Install . Rest shall be self explanatory .

So what all can this script do ?

To see videos in high quality , there is an option called " View in High Quality " below the Youtube Video or you can add fmt=22 or fmt=18 you could make it high quality , sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't . But now , with this script you don't have to click a damn thing : Just install this script and you get every video in high quality plus you get to see HD video without refreshing the window as the script uses AJAX .This script was recently updated , hence i am writing about it .

But i have a slow internet connection. Is there any way to stop this script from loading the 720 p videos ?

Yes , just go to the Grease monkey console and Edit it , you shall come across an option called : use HD , who's value will be True , just change the value to false.

By the way it defeats the purpose of the script , i recommend that if you have a good internet connection : Use this script.

This script is doing wonders for me and i am loving it , watching all Youtube Videos in High quality makes watching video a great experience !


Also , i created a list of Greasemonkey Scripts for Google fanboys  here . Dont forget to have a glance at it  .

Hope this helped you ,

[ How to ] Remove Search Bar from Embedded Videos [ Youtube ]

Hello Humanoids . Today , Youtube released many updates , they got some layout changes , they also updated embedding code with variety of resolutions but with the embedded feature came the Uber lame feature called : Search bar . This bar just sticks to the video and totally spoils the frame .

But there is a way to Remove the search bar now thanks to Seedlifestyle .

What you need to do is this  :

• Paste the code in your post editor  from Youtube dot com 

• Now , just add ;showsearch=0  after the url inside the embedding tag 

• For example  :  the url inside the embedding code is : http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=29Ro5gPi6OU&hl=en&fs=1  , and if you have a code without : &amp,hl=en&fs=1, then just add ;showsearch=0 after the url itself . Thanks Jim :)
  

• What you need to do is - Just add ;showsearch=0 after the url, now the result will be  :  http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=29Ro5gPi6OU&hl=en&fs=1 ;showsearch=0 .

And Poof ! The search bar is gone  .

Youtube adds new features for Embedded Videos !

Hello Humanoids . Developers at Youtube are working hard to please their users and the result is positive . According to Youtube : 44  % of their videos are viewed as embedded videos on websites , blog , etc , in other words embedded videos form a huge part in increasing viewership for Youtube . I think they realised the importance and now they have launched few but very important updates or you can call them major updates .

From the Youtube Blog ,the newly added features  are   :

• High-quality start images (thumbnails) – Before you press play on embedded YouTube videos, the thumbnails for the video will be presented in high-quality. We're pleased with the results – let us know if you agree.

• Search in embeddable player – At the close of an embedded video, along with the usual recommended videos and URLs, a search box will appear. Not only will you be able search from within the embedded player, you will be able to watch videos through the same window. That's right, you can search all of YouTube from the comfort of your favorite blog, news, or humor page.

• Integrated video annotations – Annotations enable video producers to incorporate text information into their videos, create choose your own adventure-style stories or add links to any YouTube video. People watching videos through the embedded player can now join the fun.
• Integrated closed captions – Back in August we started allowing video creators to add captions to their videos. Closed Captions are now available in embedded videos like this one:

I am very excited ,  since i post a video in every two week in the form of an embedded video and now i can make sure my viewers can get all the benefits and all the features of video presentation they get on Youtube's website .

Great update , what do you think ?

Auto Translate Captions in Youtube Videos !

Hello Humanoids . Captions , I really don't love the idea of captions , totally spoils the video interface with people spamming their links all over the video .

Though , one very useful thing is that If you want to see a foreign ( alien ) language video , you won't understand its language right ? So you'll just move over and watch another video , but with Captions the user who uploads the video can add text over it so that you can read it , but wouldn't that too be in foreign language ? Yes , but now Youtube Developer Team comes to the Rescue with Google Translate feature in Youtube !

Read more from the Youtube Blog :

While we've been working to offer captions in as many different languages as possible, there are often only a few translated versions available. To solve this problem, we added a new "auto translate" feature. Google Translate adds real-time machine translation to any caption tracks you upload. Now you can enjoy this video spoken in Italian, even if you don't understand Italian.

To get a translation for your preferred language, move the mouse over the bottom-right arrow, and then over the small triangle next to the CC (or subtitle) icon, to see the captions menu. Click on the "Translate..." button and then you will be given a choice of many different languages.

This is how the Translation Screenshot looks :

User who are worried about How to add captions , how to translate them  and want some FAQs ,  please refer from this link .  

You should remember that Google Translate isn't perfect , similar is the case here , tired my hands on some videos and few of them had lots of problem with translations . 

That was just an update for you ,

Stay tuned for more !

Now you can Link to your Favourite Part in Youtube Videos !

Hello Humanoids . Linking to a specific time in a video is a must for every video uploading website , for example Snotr has it , but surprisingly Youtube didn't have one but now they do !

This means you can now not only link to a YouTube video itself, but you can also link directly to a specific time within each video.

According to the Youtube Blog :

To create a deep link, append the following to the end of a YouTube video URL: #t=1m15s. This says to link to the time 1:15 - you can replace the numbers before the 'm' and the 's' with anything you like.

As an additional bonus, if you mention a specific time in a video comment, e.g. "haha 1:14 is funny", this will become a hyperlink. Viewers can simply click on the time and the video will automatically jump to the point you are referencing

I hope they make similar feature so that we can link to the comments as well , You can't have everything or can you..?

How to Enable " Embedding Disabled" Videos in Youtube !

Sorry but this no longer work, i thought i was smarter than YouTube but then they did something to make me realize that i ain't smarter than them, they made this hack no longer work. Sorry.


Hello Humanoids . I have been very busy with studies so i apologize for such a late post . I dont have much time so i thought of doing a quick tip and trick post .

Some of the readers must be knowing this but those who don't know about this shall be pretty delighted . I found about this thing via a Youtube Comment and now i laugh when i see " embedding disabled " . Sigh , such a waste .

If you don't know how embedding disabled looks like , take a look here :

I wonder why uploaders use that option , basically they think we cant crack through and wont be able to use the embedding features ( as most of the internet users are dumb , DUH ? ) .
But now with this kiddish ( even dumb people can understand this :) way all you need to do is just follow five easy steps . Yeah seriously five easy step and that's it !

Smile a little bloggers now you can show any videos to everybody on your blog without any worries :)


Here is how you do it :

• Go to www.youtube.com and Copy the URL  of " Embedding disabled "  video .  For example ,
  
  

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM21bbQfawY

  First select this URL and now just right click this URL and select Copy.
  

• Now , Go to this website called Dinitillion  and select the click here link in the first paragraph . Here is how it will appear :

• Now just paste the url you copied in the first step and paste  it an area which looks somewhat like this: 

 Now after pasting the URL click on the Get Info Button

• Now all you have to  do is it to copy the code which appears like this :

•  Now finally , paste this in you blog and you are all done to post the embedding disabled Videos on Youtube :)

I know this looked a pretty kiddish way of explaining things but hey everybody can't grasp stuffs so quickly . So this can be like a tutorial for them !
