you need to pause it with the mouse before it can work with the spacebar

if that don't work then there's something else wrong

Press K. And Spacebar still works.

also the Loop feature is broken.

this, but unironically

mpv+youtube-dl doesn't have this problem.

I know but it somehow hasn't been working since yesterday for me.

Strangely, while K pauses/unpauses - space only unpauses. Once the video is playing, pressing space just makes the (Play) flash symbol appear for a millisecond but it doesn't actually pause the video. I'm confused whether this is a flash problem or youtube's been bugging around with their site again and everything's broke for a few weeks.

Pretty sure you just need the video element selected before the spacebar will work. Otherwise the spacebar is a hotkey for page down in most browsers. Click the video once, then the spacebar works. Pretty obvious really?

see It used to be like that, but somehow it doesn't work anymore. I was just checking if that's on my end or Youtube, but I'm getting the notion that something fucked up on my browser or so.

works on my machine

>Presses spacebar
>Pauses
Works fine on my rig OP

>or I will bomb a bazaar in Israel
it works, but do it anyway

It does work though

I thought I was the only one, youtube fucked up again.

J rolls back 10s, k play pause, L advances 10s
Not hard

you are pressing it wrong

Of course it will not work if you do not select the youtube tab fucking stupid retarded shit you only had one damn job and could not fulfill it.

Same for me.
>a flash problem
Not flash though, HTML5 video thingy.

Maybe some weird key combination triggered it?

I got the same problem since I reloaded my machine today.

Are you using firefox?

Use k, negro

Huh, I have had this problem with firefox for like a year or two with Plex (not youtube though).

This. Vim style key bindings are for whites

I just noticed this today. Are you using Firefox?

Yes. You thinking a Firefox update caused this?

Fun fact: Youtube actually borrowed the preview thumbnail you see on the playbar from porn sites.

I'm having this problem on Firefox. It's working fine on Chrome.

I haven't update my Firefox in a while, but it seems like several people ITT with the issue are using Firefox.

my roommate uses chrome and he has the issue as well. both are affected it seems.
just use k, whatever, who cares, space is inferior because focus must be on the video.

Google A/B-tests everything. The reason only some of us have the problem is because we're on the same beta, not because of browser updates.

Cool.

Soooo... the pain will be over soon?
