Nightmode schedule fixed - What else to schedule?

[Mabigtfo]

Concise Description

As in title, I was using the nightmode dimming feature with no problem prior to changing a setting with the schedule option. In turn this then broke the entire setting, not changing the dim no matter the setting along with the schedule options not working in the first place.

Only solution I found was resetting the add-on entirely.

Opening F12 shows reference error to time when dim adjusted when with option for schedule disabled after bug has been triggered with changing schedule option from default.

'Steps to reproduce' - Which of our features is required for the bug to happen?

Opening any yt video, dimming the video, changing option in 'schedule' selection to any breaks slider for dimming.

Since when?

Bug since download early 2025, assumed own machine but now can't be the issue after clean W10 install.

Does the bug still happen when you log out of YouTube?

Yes

..No? Then please paste your yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS. Twice (With the error & Without)

No response

Are any errors or related log-messages shown in the Browser-Console? (F12)

Even when schedule is disabled after first creating bug, changing of the dim slider creates this error: ReferenceError: Time is not defined

Tested as the only active extension? (incognito mode or another browser users):

Yes

Expected preferred behavior:

Dim to still action if schedule disabled or changed in any way if option selected is applicable.

Hello! I'd like to work on this issue if possible. Thank you.

thank you so much! @ktran-33 @Mabigtfo
This feature, like other items 'hidden' in the ⋮-menu, could also be visible immediately and accessible with a single click.
We have prepared other features which would make sense to be schedulable:

• general : "Dim Youtube's Pages, except what I mouse-over!" (=Dim, with focused light, mouse = torch; English commits can be efficient)
• the intensity of either Dim could also adjust over time.
• themes representing day times: dawn; plain/desert; sunset; night, dark, black
• volume
• playback speed
• anything else people might want (try to) schedule, so this is already open-ended beyond this project. (We could run a a rule constructor, combining any features for any websites. Then power-users could prepare such rules, for quick users to find in top lists)

Often care could be applied effectively on the context /parent structures, so i continue threads, to zoom out and potentially reinstate that topic. Once one has looked at some (neglected) code, one might has become the only person likely to edit more of it and efficiently. Not to be unsaturable. Still hoping to organize funding. The occasion or three people /volunteers coming together in one thread is rare and valuable and a flood of note-taking might not help 💭

just another note: The author of this also provided a yellow overlay to be cpu efficien, next to the literal blue light filter. We might have a look for that again in old versions ( https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/releases?page=8 or older )
