Watchmarker for Youtube by sniklaus

Review by enibra

I just started using this. I also have the bug with the double-sized thumbnails but since I never use the Youtube starting page and the issue is not present in a channel's Videos page, it does not bother me too much.
I honor the idea of this add-on, as this is basically a must have.

Two questions or feature requests, though:

1. I would really like to be able to manually mark videos as "watched" and be able to de-mark them. Not sure how this could be implemented, GUI-wise, but I think it would be a very great feature!

2. Currently, it's sufficient to click a video to get it marked as "watched". Wouldn't you consider it more intuitive if a video only gets marked when watched "completely" or at least to 2/3, 3/4, 9/10? I know that's a bit philosophical and probably tricky to implement. Just asking. :)

Thank you for your suggestions! I just uploaded a new version and while your first suggestion is not supported yet, I added a "Condition" setting that let allows you to specify when a video should be considered watched as per your second suggestion. Simply uncheck "Consider a video as watched once it appears in the browser's history." such that a video is not marked as watched once you open it, but once you have viewed it sufficiently for Youtube to consider it as watched. Thanks again for the suggestions!
