I've had an issue with certain youtube videos playing normally on the app before the screen does this:


It's not every youtube video, but it's definitely more prevalent in recent uploads so I don't know if it's an issue with the awful app or if it's on the YouTube end not playing nice with links.

This, but also that picture makes me think "hardware issue" first and foremost. Good luck with whatever's causing it!

my friends android phone just started doing that also, and he isn't a member here so it's unrelated to the forums.

Whoops, wrong Awful App thread. Saw the first, not the second part.

Okay, maybe it's an android issue with embedding youtube videos then.

That looks like an annoying issue.

Since it’s android, maybe you need to install an xvid codec or something :v:

I think this is a youtube change because it’s been happening to me for the past couple days, and I haven’t updated from 14.8 yet.

So is this thing where if you do so much as breathe on a YT video it starts playing new? Because if so it’s annoying as hell.

Yup. I don’t think it’s an app thing. It seems like a youtube change.

It's been going on for a few weeks now but it's not a new thing, I've had it before. It's Youtube doing some poo poo. At least it doesn't auto-fullscreen the videos, you just have to be quick about pausing it and occasionally clear your watch history depending on the thread you're browsing or risk getting some bad recommendations. Well, worse than what Youtube's algorithm already gives you no matter what you watch.

Did anyone else’s shortcut break with iOS 15? It seems to upload just fine but it won’t let me paste into the app.

It drops all the 0 new post threads away so you don’t have to deal with them.

As far as I can tell, embedded / linked videos don't affect recommendations. I could be wrong, just never have had something pop up that seemed related to random goon links, etc.

They definitely show up in my history, but if they don't mess with the algorithm then that's good.

Weird, YouTube links I watch in AwfulApp never show up in my YouTube history. I’ll intentionally open some videos in YouTube solely to get them in my history so I can watch them later without having to dig through a thread or find a specific post.

Mar 11, 2010

I just checked and you're right! That's weird, I'm sure I had to clear some videos out of my watch history not that long ago after watching them in Awful. On the site, too, not on Youtube. Either way, that's a relief.

I did clear my cookies recently and re-did some Youtube settings so maybe it's that? Also I uninstalled the Youtube app on my iPhone a few days ago - not that it ever activated while I was using Awful unless I tapped on the video title to watch on Youtube which I very rarely did, and never on videos I accidentally played while scrolling which did wind up in my watch history.

I found a fix for the dark scroll thumb in ios 15 issue :toot:

also, regarding youtubescrollgate, pokeyman let me know that the app does actually have an "awful" custom user agent. it wasn't being used in the webview, just for network requests. i tried using the Awful one in the webview and it also seems to resolve the scrolling playback issue!

so that's a better outcome and now jeffrey's metrics will be even more accurate
