Guys who the hell cares about playing snake in this player? I am not interested in playing snake.

I hate this player

[maniac989]

another issue detected: the auto-hide is not working well. the player only minimizes when the video is plays, but does note minimize when the video is paused. this makes it hard to see the video since the black players blocks up the bottom. it should be minimized when the video is playing and when it is paused. is there any solution to this issue?

The progress bar automatically hides after about 1 second so you can't reliably pause videos anymore. Sometimes it takes 1 click, sometimes 2 with a substantial delay. This SUCKS; a textbook example of a bad user interface. If they must hide it (there is no compelling reason in small screen mode) each button should still work in the same location even when the graphics for the bar are hidden. As a general rule, the use of timers in user interfaces is more likely to make them worse than better.

Guys if you want the old player back go to Userscripts(.)org and search for YouTube better watch page. You will get a description on the right and a player option.

Stop complaining about Snake; it never worked anyways.

@Cinnawarrior So you watch the minutes besides the video itself?

@Joemamma69000 the new one is worse, now you can't see the minute's in the video while you're watching
