Раньше постоянно ставил этому расширению 5, сейчас ставлю 1, уже скоро год будет, как с ним проблемы. Самое последнее обновление вышло проблемным, у меня перестали воспроизводиться добавленные ссылки. Увидел в комментарии ниже, что человек откатился на предыдущую версию и сделал то же самое. Почти год горя не знал, хотя постоянно зудело обновиться. Сегодня видимо случайно что-то нажал и всё-таки обновился на последнюю версию, опять всё перестало работать, как и год назад. Неужели так сложно починить это? Уже год прошёл. Сейчас решил подробнее посмотреть, почему ссылки не воспроизводятся, оказывается дополнение добавляет ссылку с https без двоеточия после него! И получается https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCwILDyqu64 и поэтому ссылки не проигрываются в плеере

Everything works as intended :) Can you add an option "play next" in the context menu? Then use /insert command line switch in potplayer? it will enqueue item just after current item :) Thank you :)

The YouTube link can be successfully played. But I tried to play other links in Potplayer and it failed. I checked the link added in Potplayer and found that it added "potplayer:" at the beginning of the original link.
