...for old times' sake. Play entries of YouTube's watch later list without advancing to next title.
Play it once, Sam Extension
----- DEPRECATED -----
You may still use this extension, but it will no longer be maintained.
Please use Tampermonkey and the following script:
https://github.com/soerenkoehler/monkey-scripts/blob/master/Play%20it%20once%20Sam.user.js
----------------------------
Assumption: You use YouTube's watch later list not as a real playlist but to collect interesting (and not necessarily related) videos.
Problem: When you start a single video from the playlist page, the following videos (related or not) will be played too, automatically.
Old solution: An extension called NextVid Stopper which does not work anymore.
New solution: This extension ;) It redirects the start of a single video from the watch later page to the single video player instead of the playlist player. You can still click the \"Play All\" button to play the list as a whole.
---
History:
v0.2: The single play behaviour can be configured for all playlists or for watch lists only.
v0.1: Initial release, works only for the watch list.
---
Known problems:
If you have the watch later list already playing in one tab and, in another tab, open a single video from the watch later list YouTube somehow makes an additional redirect and you get two entries in the browser history.
---
Required Permissions:
\"storage\" to save the options mode to chrome
\"tabs\" to verify that a request comes from the watch later list
\"webRequest\", \"webRequestBlocking\" to redirect the request to the correct player
\"*://www.youtube.com/\" to access YouTube
