I was completely unaware of Vinegar, so thank you very much for the info!
Do you by any chance know if this will be affected by the YouTube Adblock ban?
2 0 ReplyIt cannot be

1 0 ReplyNo, it just fetches the raw video file. When YT places ads all they do is pause the vid, inject them thru another instance, then resume the original vid. The overlays are handled by YT imbedded player. Together this gives YT the ability to work sort of like a TV channel.
Regards to the plugin, YT has no idea you’re using it. You're literally side stepping them.
