Toolbar not working on YouTube links

Just noticed this today after finally moving to Reddit Companion from the very old Socialite. I'm not getting a toolbar from any YouTube links visited from Reddit. Is this a known issue or something I should be looking at from my end?

Browser: Firefox 65.0

Reddit Companion: v3.4.2

My Reddit Companion (Firefox & Chrome)

#Since my version deviated a lot from the based source code, I've created its own subreddit for issues and whatnot https://www.reddit.com/r/myredditcompanion/

#####My Reddit Companion Hello, so I rewrote from scratch reddit companion, made it compatible with firefox, chrome/opera. It is faster and improved.

Will be adding more features in the days to come, stay tuned.

Please try it and let me know if you have any issues with it.

#####Edit I've updated the addon to 3.0.8 fixing some bugs and whatnot.

Updated to 3.3.4 with a slick new responsive UI based on Bootstrap 4 + moderator buttons (spam, remove, approve), submit to reddit button, unread message notifications, lots of options (Screenshot, Screenshot responsive, Screenshot settings)

##Firefox addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/my-reddit-companion ##Chrome plugin https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/my-reddit-companion/ghkmgdhpbkijdnnhodlejkbpehnkoglf ##Opera extension https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/my-reddit-companion ##Github https://github.com/alex2005git/my-reddit-companion

Companion is not working for me

Hi /u/creesch. Thanks for making this. Ever since Socialite died, I've been looking for a replacement. However, I've tried it on multiple computers and even reset my Firefox profile, and I still have the following problems, and basically can't use it. Latest FF on all computers:

  • The options dialog load, and I can check the boxes, but I don't see any sort of save button. When I leave the page and come back, everything is unchecked again.

  • The bar loads on some pages, but when it does, I just see a '?' where the title should be.

  • The Comments button also shows a question mark instead of what I would assume should be the number of comments.

  • Clicking on the comments button doesn't do anything.

  • There's a login button. Clicking on it doesn't do anything.

  • The options dialog doesn't look like the screenshot from the sidebar. It's close, but there's no upvote downvote button showing. It just shows the login button. And also, the 2nd and 3rd options are grey, but I can still check them(But it still doesn't save it).

Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

Toolbar not showing

I recently got a new chromebook and added the reddit companion extension, but the toolbar is not available. Is there something I'm missing?

Doesn't work with HTTPS Everywhere modified links.

Tough to pick between ISP spying or the toolbar.

Love the idea, but I can't get it to work in Chrome on Windows 10. Either shows me as not logged in when trying to submit or doesn't show tool bar at all.

No longer showing vote counts

I've noticed for a while now it's not showing vote counts, nor comment counts.

Also, the separately reported bug about sizing still exists.

The extension works fine when I click on the links, but it does not show the toolbar when I navigate using my keyboard.

Is there a workaround I can implement?

For some time now, the companion bar does not show up when I open links. I'm using a Mac, Yosemite OS, Google Chrome. Thanks.

Some changes to this sub.

Hello everyone!

As you might have noticed the sub looks slightly different! This is because I was added as a mod and have decided to change some stuff around.

First of all I have changed to sidebar to point to a working version. I also decided to try and organize stuff better.

I also removed all the spam posts.

Hopefully this will lead to less confusion and more happy companion users!

By request of the admins I also changed the fixed version's name to "Companion for reddit" to indicate it is not an official reddit extension. Update is published to the store right now.

I made an updated working version of reddit companion

Background story, [10 months ago I made a updated version of companion that actually works]. With the Reddit toolbar going away and the old post being archived I figured a new thread was in order.

Important stuff:

- Get it from the Chrome store here

- [The source can be found here] (https://github.com/creesch/reddit-companion)

- Feature requests and bug reports go here or below in comments.

Screenshots

What did you modifiy?

This version fixes some long outstanding bugs and adds some new things:

  • https support: should work on (more) https pages now.
  • notifications work again: the old companion used an outdated call.
  • design tweaks: Less shadows, less gradients, less rounded corners.

Some of the fixes are simply pull requests on the original git, credit naturally goes to those people.

I created an updated version of reddit companion: bug fixes & new features.

What is this?

This is a modified version of the official reddit companion. I based it from the code reddit has published on github here.

Ok great, how do I install it?

You should be able to find the updated version on the chrome store here:

It usually takes about an hour for anything to be published, so if the url is not working yet try again in a while.

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 8 2014

Since /u/alienth announced https on reddit I decided to update reddit companion to work properly with it. I have uploaded a new version to the chrome store that should work properly with reddit and https.
