Describe the bug
Black screen when loading YouTube clips (Sometimes other colors besides gradients)
To Reproduce
When using YouTube Enhancer normally, clips you've created on YouTube may no longer display properly; you can hear the audio and pause it with the spacebar, but all you see is a black screen.
I go to my own Clips on the YouTube homepage, choose one I want to watch, and encounter a bug where the video isn't displayed properly—it just shows a black screen.
Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
Screenshots
When I go there and open a video, it should play normally; when I disable the add-on, everything works just fine.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- Windows 11 Pro Newest Version
- Chrome v150.0.7871.47 (Official Build) (64 Bit)
- I usually have the developer settings for add-ons enabled in Chrome and use hardware acceleration.
- and I disabled all other add-ons to rule out the possibility that it was causing problems in combination with YouTube Enhancer, which isn't the case
- I use an Nvidia RTX GPU
Additional context
This is my YouTube Enhancer config, which hadn't caused any problems before:
