Show / Use Youtube Video's #Hash-Tags! (Previously 'breaks "Tags For Youtube" extension')

[jfolger]

Trying Improve Youtube! for the first time, so far it is really nice and useful. Right out of the gate, though, it broke one of my other useful extensions, "Tags For Youtube", which displays the tags in the description field.

So not really a bug, I guess, but perhaps an adjustment can be made to allow Tags to work, or even add that functionality to Improve?

Can this extension just add the tags feature itself? Would solve my problems with it. And it's annoying have an extension just for tags.

@jfolger @DankMemeGuy I am not able to find this extension was its name changed?

[ImprovedTube]

• <meta name="keywords" content="....">

---

• Tags might improve navigation / discovery - or at least show if a channel adds spam tags). People interested in Youtube professionally might already run VidIQ or Tubebuddy.

• Current alternatives: youtube-ags & https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/tags%20youtub
  gone: tags-for-youtube (archived https://www.crx4chrome.com/crx/201506/ ) & https://crxcavator.io/report/fpdnpedmdmnjdjacpgnbmiajeebmcmal (both used Youtube's Api)

breaks ...-extension

(there usually might not be many people users using another extension even if it has 50 000 users. unless it is/was something we should fix anyways) @hboyd2003

Update August2023:

• we can always use the following meta data from youtube, avaiable on all video pages, enabling a lot of useful features.

  youtube/js&css/web-accessible/functions.js

  Lines 35 to 58 in ee79fd5

  	} else if (name === 'META') {
  	if(node.getAttribute('name')) {
  	//if(node.getAttribute('name') === 'title') {ImprovedTube.title = node.content;} //duplicate
  	//if(node.getAttribute('name') === 'description') {ImprovedTube.description = node.content;} //duplicate
  	//if node.getAttribute('name') === 'themeColor') {ImprovedTube.themeColor = node.content;} //might help our darkmode/themes
  	//Do we need any of these here before the player starts?
  	if(node.getAttribute('name') === 'keywords') {ImprovedTube.keywords = node.content;}
  	} else if (node.getAttribute('itemprop')) {
  	if(node.getAttribute('itemprop') === 'name') {ImprovedTube.title = node.content;}
  	if(node.getAttribute('itemprop') === 'genre') {ImprovedTube.category = node.content;}
  	//if(node.getAttribute('itemprop') === 'channelId') {ImprovedTube.channelId = node.content;}
  	//if(node.getAttribute('itemprop') === 'videoId') {ImprovedTube.videoId = node.content;}
  	//The following infos will enable awesome, smart features. Some of which everyone should use.
  	//if(node.getAttribute('itemprop') === 'description') {ImprovedTube.description = node.content;}
  	//if(node.getAttribute('itemprop') === 'duration') {ImprovedTube.duration = node.content;}
  	//if(node.getAttribute('itemprop') === 'interactionCount'){ImprovedTube.views = node.content;}
  	//if(node.getAttribute('itemprop') === 'isFamilyFriendly'){ImprovedTube.isFamilyFriendly = node.content;}

  	//if(node.getAttribute('itemprop') === 'regionsAllowed'){ImprovedTube.regionsAllowed = node.content;}
  	//if(node.getAttribute('itemprop') === 'paid') {ImprovedTube.paid = node.content;}
  	// if(node.getAttribute('itemprop') === 'datePublished' ){ImprovedTube.datePublished = node.content;}
  	//to use in the "how long ago"-feature, not to fail without API key? just like the "day-of-week"-feature above
  	// if(node.getAttribute('itemprop') === 'uploadDate') {ImprovedTube.uploadDate = node.content;}
  	}

the 6 posts below (2022) were off-topic (reminding about YT running multiple GUI versions at the same time - yet we always have the option to sensitively offer GUI on top of Youtube, instead of frickling to integrate our's: CSS position:fixed or sticky)

[hboyd2003]

@ImprovedTube Yes, this is definitely a feature that should be added. It should also be quite easy to implement, however, Youtube has been experimenting with changing the UI so it might be best to wait for it to finalize.
(I have three different UIs on two different accounts so I am not sure which one everyone has and which ones are the test versions. We really need a way to determine which Youtube UI is the current UI)

[ImprovedTube]

hi @hboyd2003 (are your accounts using different languages?)

[ImprovedTube]

wont neccessarily matter for this feature (which could be position:fixed or position:sticky) . Just saying to free / differenciate a feature from (nested) CSS theme.

@ImprovedTube

(are your accounts using different languages?)

No, all in English. I think they just experiment with random subsets of users.
Here's the different versions I see if you want to look, they are in order of first appearance

wont necessarily matter for this feature (which could be position:fixed or position:sticky)

True but what they are focusing on currently is the description (and i believe the tags should be hidden until you click the show more button on the description). Though, it might not matter since I am currently focused on bugs so by the time I get through them all the new design might be finalized.
