There are issues with web sites that have a lot of JavaScript that Linterna Mágica is trying to parse to find videos. The latest version (1.20) has a fix for that - Linterna Mágica have to be started manually (the parser) on most websites to prevent bloating. Few major video sharing websites start automatically, and the list can be extended. I'll be glad go have some more feedback, if you are willing to try it again. Feedback from anyone is welcomed. Especially negative. This will lead to improvements. Write to me in person, at Linterna Mágica's mailing list, or join Linterna Mágica's Jabber and IRC chat rooms. > Personally for YouTube, I'm using SMTube which technically does what your > plugin, except that it does it without the need for a web browser. There were such scripts even before Linterna Mágica. I'm just too lazy and tired of copying links across browsers, windows, and scripts. Still they are a good solution. > (YouTube automatically switches from 360p to 720p for better visual quality), > There is no technical way to do this at the moment with a browser video plugin as far as I know. > and most importantly, that I need to move the mouse cursor every ten minutes, > > 'cause the screen is going to dim. You could change your dimming preferences in you desktop environment.

I could not agree with that. It has much more than eyecandy and it works in far more places than YouTube. Places I don't know exists. Yes, everyone has their preferences how to use their computer. That is understandable. Yes the technical solution is not the best, it is limited and causes some inconvenience. I just don't have the spare time to investigate, test and migrate to a better and improved solution - browser extensions. Linterna Mágica is not an extension in the context of Abrowser. It is just a userscript and it has its limitations just because of that.
