(video showcase here)
Hi! Recently I was given permission to show off some of the cool features of the YT2009 beta!
First, they have
YOUTUBE XL
Can you tell me, in confidence, that you have seen ANYTHING with a functioning XL?? fulptube maybe, but NOTHING ELSE! that's not even the start of the impossible things this frontend does, because second there's
ANNOTATIONS
technically you can get these back on proper youtube, but DEFINITELY not like this!
also!
IT'S GOT THEMES
(URLs will need to be edited to work with your instance of choice)
if you can't tell, the themes are
what I didn't show is all the watch pages changes that come with some of these themes, but I hope you can imagine them
ALSO! you can get userstyles from 2009 to work with the frontend! I haven't bothered showing them off since they're barely relevant, but I felt like adding!
but what is a good 2007 or 2010 theme without an
ERA ACCURATE PLAYER
(requires flash)
The players they have currently are
- 2006
- 2007
- 2007 ad player
- 2010
- 2009 dark mode
- 2012 (not on the list)
- 2009 (default)
you can also patch your own flash players to work here too!
this is all well and good, but you probably want to hear about the functionality, right? no? well you should still read, this stuff is wicked
FLAGS
you want to watch only old youtube videos?? yes? then turn on only_old. no? then don't!
you want the upload date to show up as 2009 for newer videos?? how about every video? well you can do both!you want wayback features, what ever that is? it exist! and it rocks!
you want to turn annotations off for some reason? you want to enable the shows tab?? you want to simulate logging in??
