I want to make a playlist with some livesets, these are usually an hour. I have added these into a playlist and I cannot for the life of me stop YouTube from continuing halfway where I once stopped some of them.
Starting from the beginning and letting it play for 10 seconds, pressing on the timeline at the start a few times. Nothing works.
At this point disabling the option of automatic saving / continuing is fine but I can’t find and options whatsoever.
Am I dumb or is YouTube just stupid?
Youtube is actual trash and we have modern designers and businessmen to blame.
Both can be true.
Probably is…
Yes, YouTube is absolute shit without extensions.
Can I ask what you recommend? I just have the standard add block and sponsor block running which definitely helps but the user experience could definitely be better.
Enhancer for YouTube is the best. Next get YouTube Search Fixer so your searches only show search results instead of previously viewed, For You, and all the other garbage that you have to sift through. Shorts Block is also nice, but I think enhancer also does this.
It’s getting bad. Almost unwatchable now. Google is screwed.
There was always the joke about watching one video and your feed being filled with that type of video, but it’s genuinely that bad now. And if you dare to watch a second one you’re done for.
You got to go into history and remove it. Its annoying but it works well.
Also keep in mind that hovering over a video and watching more than a few seconds adds it to your history and thus yt suggestions
I don’t use this plugin myself, but if you’re using Firefox, you might take a look at it, as it provides a bunch of browser-side configurability. I don’t know whether the feature you’re looking for is there, but as far as I can tell, it aims to be a pretty large bucket of pretty much every add-on YouTube feature one might want.
I was looking at it a while back for something unrelated, a UI tweak that I was hoping that it might do.
This was it! Thanks, amazing that something so simple needs a seperate plugin. You saved the night.
This can probably also disable the mini PiP player so I can die a happy dude… :)
I think pausing your watch history will accomplish this, but then of course your watch history will be paused.
I suspect if you disabled watch history it won’t remember. You can also selectively remove videos from your watch history. I’m not sure if there are separate settings for watch history and timestamp.
Playing just a few seconds may not be enough. Two minutes should be. So it determines you’re actually intending to watch where you are (at the beginning).
