by robsku, a month agoFile encodings
bat natively supports UTF-8 as well as UTF-16. For every other file encoding, you may need to convert to UTF-8 first because the encodings can typically not be auto-detected. You can iconv to do so. Example: if you have a PHP file in Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) encoding, you can call:
iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 my-file.php | bat
Note: you might have to use the -l/--language option if the syntax can not be auto-detected by bat.
Thank you for continuing! Since the add-on newer stopped working correctly on my oldest CentOS 7 Linux laptop, which I use to watch most YT at home, I didn't know whether it would work on newer FireFox versions… And I emailed you, asking for a copy of the .XPI file for personal use, as my latest ThinkPad didn't get it via Sync, because it was removed from here…
Then a couple of days ago, I noticed I suddenly had it installed on this… Funny thing, the old laptop says when visiting this page that the latest version requires later FireFox, but CentOS is a dead distro (except for some security updates); during the last month or so, I did run full package upgrades, and FireFox was included, but I doubt it was that much newer, but rather just some bugfixes… Yeah, it's 115.8.0esr (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox for Fedora (CentOS served as testing bed for Fedora), while this newest one has 124.0 (64-bit)…
So I think I would have to install the newer version manually past the package management (or try to build the latest Fedora source RPM to CentOS 7 — along with any dependencies, without breaking it) to get the latest version of this add-on. But it still works great on that version, so for now I don't feel it's worth the time…
I never saw you reply to my request… but my mailbox is too full, I got so much spam and other unwanted mail that I'm having a hard time keeping up with it… So I also tried to search how could I copy the installed extension from another profile (on another system, but that's not important) into another… I could have, of course just backed up my .mozilla/firefox/ folder, and tried my best, that way I could have got it back at any time…
But THANK YOU SO MUCH for making a new version available… Just one request: Please keep older, or at least the latest version available — either here with warning, or simply on your homepage with a big clear warning that it's at one's own risk to try it, and if it doesn't work, you warned them. There might always be cases where people want them anyway… And may get them working. <3

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18408178, 14 hours agoThis is actualy the best Youtube addon I have ever seen and used. Option to slow the video on 0,1 speed or speed up video to 32x helps me to better understand important moments or skip long boring speeches. Thank you creator(s) of this addon, I like using Youtube with this tool.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14273700, 2 days agoInconsistent. Control bar within player failing to load everytime. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Сумерка, 5 days agoWould've kept using it if it didn't require a much newer version of Firefox that Waterfox doesn't have. Now I procrastinate more often.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18401954, 5 days agoUw gegevens voor websites in het ‘genoemde’ domein benaderen
De extensie kan de inhoud van webpagina’s die u in het opgegeven domein bezoekt lezen, evenals gegevens die u in deze webpagina’s invoert, zoals gebruikersnamen en wachtwoorden. - Rated 4 out of 5by H3LLGHA5T, 6 days agoAlmost perfect, but video control unfortunately show up for some videos, for others they don't.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Python, 8 days agoThis extension changes youtube experience completely. I use it for years and recommend it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by detachable peanuts, 8 days agoDoesn't work anymore. Gives me an error saying "playback isn't supported on this device" it goes away once I disable this add-on. will edit this review once it gets fixed. Shame, I really liked it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16315383, 9 days ago> Cyberknight
The developer removed the ad-blocking feature because last year YT has changed their code that removed the ability to block ads with just a simple code injection. If you need to block YT ads, use uBlock Origin. - Rated 5 out of 5by George_w, 9 days agoEsta extensión es sin dudas, una de las mejores que existen en Mozilla hasta la fecha.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Cyberknight, 9 days agoIt suddenly lost relevance. Sure, most options are still there, but the one that really used to make YT feel different is gone, the ad-blocker. There are much lighter extensions out there that can do that specific task. Let's hope the feature will be back, soon...
- Rated 4 out of 5by StormShadow, 9 days agoEs genial, hace todo lo que dice sin embargo me doy cuenta en las ultimas actualizaciones hay videos en los que no carga la extension

- Rated 3 out of 5by BWX, 12 days agoI really appreciated when you updated this a while ago. Sadly it is breaking playback especially on watch later playlist. Video playback just constantly freezes all the time. If I disable this add-on it works. Also no matter how I resize screen I get giant thumbnails, like 3 across instead of 5 or 4 depending on how I scale screen. I can't really stand watching YT without this add-on, without the mouse wheel volume, volume boost button, etc.. I sure hope it can be fixed, I pay for YT premium and donated to you for this add-on. Even if you just made volume boost button and mouse wheel volume control and that's it, I would still use it and be happy.
