Hi Team,

Version:
Chrome: 129.0.6668.101 (Official Build) (64-bit)
YCS - YouTube Comment Search (Continued): 1.3.3

Scenario: some videos are ok, while some others can't work, no display out;
e.g.:
OK:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzsuE5ugxf4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0

NO:
https://www.youtube.com/live/ZHJiMrUaxm0
https://www.youtube.com/live/kywngxo7iJQ

Question: tried uninstall/reinstall, in incognito mode only this extension, all no luck, why instable?

Expectation: work stably;

Currently the extension panel activation and video ID acquirement are based on the url format /watch?v={video ID}.
So if the URL is in format /live/{video ID}, the extension panel won't be activated.

For now, just change the URL to /watch?v={video ID}, the extension will work correctly:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHJiMrUaxm0
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kywngxo7iJQ

With the original author's return, future development and bug fixes will be implemented on the original repository's source code branch: https://github.com/sonigy/YCS/tree/ycs_source_code. This transition will occur after all changes from this repository have been migrated.

thanks for the prompt reply, Robin.

since we don't know when will the original author will be back, it's expected that this one come from you can be optimised for the live video url style. appreciated it a lot.

P.S.:
i'm writing the email to you, and get the notification from github that you replied, what a speed! :-)

This also started happening for me this afternoon. 75% of videos I run are livestreams - until today the YCS panel has always been there and now it's suddenly gone mid-workday. We often stream 10+ hours of youtube daily, utilizing YCS the whole time, so when the search panel disappeared we noticed immediately. I'm curious why it wasn't a problem until now - did youtube change their URL format?

update mid-post: Just opened a big batch of livestreams to test (both currently broadcasting live and some that are finished). Most of the URL's are back to the "watch" format, even currently live ones, but a few URL's still have the "live" format. Weird. Most of them had the "live" address earlier.

Thank you @pc035860 for all your work, as you see we rely heavily on this extension and are happy to support you in any way!
