Yes, no shit :-)

Now that stage6 is gone, here is a script that enables higher quality video streams on Youtube:

The scripts inserts a link to a higher quality video stream below Youtube's video player.

EDIT: I updated the script to speed up the search for HQ versions. Searching should now take only moments.

Screenshot:

How to install:
- Get Firefox
- Get the latest Flash player plugin
- Install the Greasemonkey extension:
- Install this script: http://zatic.net/youtubeh264beta.user.js

Check out the difference:

Source:


Disclaimer:
- The quality can only be as high as the originally uploaded video's quality.
- It does not work for all videos
- The shorter the video, the more likely the HQ version works
- If you have my previous Youtube script installed this will not work. Uninstall the old one first to use this here.

Please, if you find a video where this script does not work, post or PM a link.

RedTube > YouTube xD ? does the script work for both P?
Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.

this is very very cool. thanks a lot

I have no clue how you manage to make that work. It has found every video clip i've thrown at it so far, and not only the image is better, the sound is as well. Wasn't expecting that much

While the script does find higher quality stream, calling anything on youtube HD is just wrong.

It says HD on the screenshot which was taken from an earlier version. Anyway, HD wouldn't even be wrong as technologically the streams are HD-streams. It's just that the original source of most youtube videos is not high-res, high-quality.

Wow Zatic, this is another great little script. Is there any chance of combining the spoiler-free 'teamliquid player' with this high-quality one? Given the choice between the two, I'd personally opt for the spoiler free.

Unfortunately that's not so easy so I can't promise anything. But I'm on it.

Waited for a good 15mins for that video to load now. Also attempted another video with "HQ" quality available, neither of them successfully loads a single second. Am i not supposed to click the "Switch to higher quality: HQ Video Stream" or what?

Plz post a link to the video.

Edit: Just updated the script as I also found a video that doesn't work. Try again after reinstalling.

^ That's the example vid. Doesn't load with HQ. :s

Just says "collecting data from 74.125.10.19.." (ie standard loading) but nothing happens.

If it works for other people it might just be something wrong with this comp/connection, but seems weird.

Do you have the latest Flash player plugin installed? Get it from adobe.com

I feel noob^2 now. Seriously, i intentionally denied flash to install that version as i deemed HD flashstreams silly. Guess we all know who's really the silly one now though.

Cheers. :xxxxx
