/* CHANGELOG
1.2.87 (1/22/2014)
- fixed odd internal error that made the player not show
- fixed problem with "Red Bar" not being disabled properly
1.2.86 (12/21/2013)
- fixed Large player button (as far as I can tell)
- added Automatic quality option (the YouTube default)
- switched the DASH option default to enabled
this is really what the script was made for... auto-buffering
1.2.85 (12/11/2013)
- added a script icon
- added a "Player Color Scheme" option
- fixed bug with SPF not being de-activated properly in non-Firefox browsers
- fixed volume bug
- fixed adding time in url bug. it will now skip to the right portion of the video
- changed internal name of the "Activation Mode" option. shouldn't affect the user
- the script doesn't add any javascript to the page anymore
it uses onYouTubePlayerReady to detect when the player is ready;
it's much more performant than an interval
1.2.84 (10/31/2013)
- added primitive type checking when copying ytplayer.config.args into the flashvars.
this fixes the issue with Flashgot and possibly other add-ons
- fixed non-activation by moving the _spf_state check to the top of init.
this disables SPF on every YouTube page now, and should make the script activate correctly
- changed all RegExp test methods to match. match seems more consistent.
I've had cases where test doesn't work, but match does
1.2.83 (10/28/2013)
- added auto HD, volume, and more activation modes for html5 (thanks to youtube updating its API)
- changed the default quality to 1080p
- changed the wording of some options
- changed the "Disable Dash Playback" option to false for default
- disabled SPF (aka Red Bar feature) completely until I get playlists working better
- changed the setPref prototype function to a regular function
1.2.82 (9/5/2013)
- added support for older Firefox versions (tested on 3.6)
- added a new option to disable 'dash' playback (videos loading in blocks/pieces)
- re-added ad removal feature (experimental for now)
1.2.81
- fixed HTML5 support. YT changed tag names so the script got confused
- made a few minor performance tweaks
- fixed 'play symbol in title' bug in autobuffer mode (it would show playing, even though it's paused/buffering)
1.2.80
- switched to JSL.setInterval for consistency and drift accommodation
- visual tweaks to:
msg().
the rest of the page now dims while the msg box is visible
changed the spacing of most of the elements
changed the font sizes and the font (Arial)
added a close button instead of requiring a double click
made it auto-open the options screen when the msg is closed
GM_config.
made the background color more mellow and moved the section title near the middle
1.2.79
- adjusted to the new play symbol in the youtube title feature
- Changed margins on the settings button when in footer
- Switched JSL/pushState checking order.
Previously in 1.2.78, if JSL didn't exist or wasn't @required, the script
would still loop every 500ms to re-set the pushState method, even though the
script wasn't going to be running.
I switched that so that JSL has to exist before the script does anything.
1.2.78
- Fixed bug where options button wasn't getting added to the footer with the new Red Bar YT feature
1.2.77
- Adapted to the new YouTube feature that uses HTML5's history.pushState to load videos
- Small fixes here and there
- Excluded (with RegExp) pages without videos on them
- Fixed GM_config.log()
- Declared all variables at the beginning of functions
- Made finding the video player a little more reliable
- Make 'autoplay on playlists' work with HTML5 videos
1.2.76
- Added new quality option ('1080p+' - for anything higher than 1080p)
1.2.75
- Added a new option (to move option button to page footer)
- Added a new option (to autoplay on playlists regardless of auto[play/buffer] setting)
- Added a first time user message box
- Fixed bug with GM_config's [set/get]Value functions. Chrome/Opera were not using localStorage before this update
1.2.74
- Adapted to YouTube's new layout
1.2.73
- Added compatibility for user pages
1.2.72
- Made it fully working again in Opera & Chrome
- Switched from setInterval to setTimeout due to instability
- Added an anonymous function wrapper
1.2.71
- Added compatibility for HTML5
