When the reverse playlist option is enabled, the playlist's 'Loop' button has a "1" character flickering on and off inside, and causes tooltips and context menus to instantly close

[AngryCarrot789]

Bug Report:

⚬ BUG: Title, and it also causes a huge amount of lag after around 5-10 minutes; video keep buffering and starts lowering the resolution

⚬ HOW: Enable the "reverse playlist" option in the extension (Playlist > Reverse). Then, open a playlist (e.g. uploads from a channel). And then irregardless of if reverse is actually enabled or not, eventually the loop button (on the top left side of the playlist panel) will have a 1 inside that keeps showing and going invisible

It seems to happen more often when it autoplays onto the next video. When you refresh the page, it seems to fix it

⚬ EXPECTED (/preferred) behavior: It not to flick and cause all tooltips to instantly close

Here's the call stack just in case... i tried to figure it out myself but it's hella obfuscated lol

hi @AngryCarrot789 thank you so much! may i/we use some of your 200 apps?

1. While we possibly it in our code quicky, youtube's behavior with this playlist widget also is mysterious from a far yet: Reverse playlist button no longer functioning. - Remedy: Add Shortkey (& extra position?) #1544 (scroll down, no other thread in our repo compares to this)

also

2. since i first saw the OperaGX ad, i feared the correlation with our users might be significant! - in the mean time we only learnd about a bunch of unique bugs only occuring in OperaGX - still have hopes OperaGX might be changing quickly still - or the correlation might not be that hight (while weighting urgency, starting with Chrome), yet the amount of our OperaGX users seems to only increase /exponentially😪😅

Wont you?

I could be wrong but it seems like it's some sort of recursive call of the ImprovedTube.playlistRepeat() function, in playlist.js (https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/blob/master/js%26css/web-accessible/www.youtube.com/playlist.js), where the 100 is the time in milliseconds?

When you collapse the playlist panel, the header jumps between "Next: " and "End of playlist"

you're making me feel 🤫😳 you might be a contributor, we've been waiting for @AngryCarrot789

milliseconds

Yes, yet i dont know this code better than you. Lost our author in 2022

... * just in case :D you end up testing repeatedly, i suggest this with alt+x ( chrome://extensions/shortcuts )

[AngryCarrot789]

I just removed the line setTimeout(function () {ImprovedTube.playlistRepeat()}, 100); and that seemed to fix it. Not sure if it broke the repeat function... but I don't use it anyway so 🙃

@AngryCarrot789 can/did you try a larger interval in operaGX?
