Instant video previews in popup player by hovering or clicking video thumbs. Video ratings and resolution data shown on the thumbs. Gets video information without using a YouTube API key, which can be banned or limited.
AWESOME! =) A few requests (nothing is perfect) = maybe post an alternate versoin? Call it 'Youtube Thumbnail Hover Player' or something? Here are the features that would be best ~> ~ Only adds a 'popout player' icon on thumbnails when hovered. Don't need any silly time & CPU-wasting 'animated fade in/out' stuff. We do not want any additional 'information' or other stuff = just the 'click & go' thing that appears wen we 'mouse over' a thumbnail on Youtube =) All those other things obscure the image in the thumbnail making it hard to see what is 'going on'. ~ Put all controls = the 'control bar' at the bottom, next to the 'timeline', so saves us a lot of time & effort as when a video pops up we naturally liketo skip around the timeline before deciding whether to close it or view next, etc. ~ Fix the skip forward/back icons so they look like standard youtube style 'arrow into vertical line'. Right now it's just a confusing block of 4 squares ~ Make the control bar black, with beige text = visually pleasing & consistent with Youtubes player window theme, rather than ugly gray/white ~ Do not close 'hover player' (the mini thing) unless we click outside the player, or hit it's 'close' button. ~ Allow seek along video timeline with right & left arrow keys on the keyboard by default, without having to click & pause the video to 'activate' those controls ~ Control sound volume with mouse wheel while over the video, rather than scrolling the page behind it (WTF? =)) Please if you ever fix this or need money or whatever else please send the 'updated/alternate' version to me at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com'. I will try to fix it myself, but I am not a programmer so probably won't work =P
