Simon,
You are truly a scholar and a gentleman. First time any developer on the Firefox Add-On board actually responded to my review; but I am glad you are "alive" and came out of slumber to patch this. It is now beautiful and YouTube has a bad habit of recommending videos I have already watched MONTHS ago. Your GRAY overlay with WATCHED text is AWESOME; because I code while I listen \ watch YouTube, so this makes it easier for me to avoid realizing I am re-watching something TWO minutes in. We MUST stop these YouTube creators from dipping 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100X for the same videos, hahaha... Thank you and now all we need is a way to auto-sync history across all our machines with a single account. I am too lazy for Manual Export\Import.... FIVE STARS !!!

Developer needs to update this add-on; but it is possible they have not tested it recently with Firefox, since it has not been updated for over a year. It is an AWESOME idea; but does not work correctly with Firefox 74.0. All thumbnails appear with a grey overlay above it with the text WATCHED in some cases. It is an obvious alignment \ overlay issue; so most likely YouTube "broke" it and this needs to be fixed ASAP. If this is fixed, then I will upgrade to FIVE stars; because it is needed, so now I am off to find another add-on.Developer response
posted 5 years agoGood news, I have just updated the addon. I would appreciate it if you could give it a try again, thanks!
Regarding your update with the question about syncing: the history should automatically be synced across computers as long as they are all logged into the same Youtube account.
:: Simon - Rated 5 out of 5by Adam T., 5 years agoTo start I need to tell how much i love this addon! Saying that sadly in the new layout it is not working perfectly! For some strange reason when this is enable the thumbnails in the front page it seems stretched, distorted and double size of the normal! I really hope for some update because I can't imagine myself not have it! (I will change my rating to 5 Stars if you solve this problem) Thanks!
Update:
PERFECT!!! Now works like a charm, thank you for the quick fix!
As I have promise I change my rating a 5 stars!
Regards!Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by enibra, 5 years agoI just started using this. I also have the bug with the double-sized thumbnails but since I never use the Youtube starting page and the issue is not present in a channel's Videos page, it does not bother me too much.
I honor the idea of this add-on, as this is basically a must have.
Two questions or feature requests, though:
1. I would really like to be able to manually mark videos as "watched" and be able to de-mark them. Not sure how this could be implemented, GUI-wise, but I think it would be a very great feature!
2. Currently, it's sufficient to click a video to get it marked as "watched". Wouldn't you consider it more intuitive if a video only gets marked when watched "completely" or at least to 2/3, 3/4, 9/10? I know that's a bit philosophical and probably tricky to implement. Just asking. :)Developer response
posted 5 years agoThank you for your suggestions! I just uploaded a new version and while your first suggestion is not supported yet, I added a "Condition" setting that let allows you to specify when a video should be considered watched as per your second suggestion. Simply uncheck "Consider a video as watched once it appears in the browser's history." such that a video is not marked as watched once you open it, but once you have viewed it sufficiently for Youtube to consider it as watched. Thanks again for the suggestions!
:: Simon - Rated 5 out of 5by George Tzikas, 5 years agoThis addon is godsend. However the latest YouTube update broke it. On hover / scroll the video thumbnails double in height every now and then.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15004584, 6 years agovery good addition. with him much more convenient.
can you add a feature, hide watched videos on the subscriptions page?Developer response
posted 6 years agoThank you for the kind words! I have thought about completely removing watched videos from the subscription page before. This is a little tricky though, since the extension would have to do the layouting of the grid again. Even though it would be useful, I have thus not currently planned to implement this feature, my apologies!

First, thank You for Your work.
And thank You for fixing minor bugs when displaying "watched" logo on playlist.
I have some comments for this extension. Recently (after the update of addon? or youtube?) watermark "watched" appeared in the upper left corner in full screen mode directly on playing video. I've seen this when watched playlist. Can You fix this, please?Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11494868, 6 years agoFive stars for using screenshots of Kyde & Eric's channel. The add-on is good too. Wish it didn't mark livestreams as watched while they're still going, only once they are over and archived in their entirety.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Darkas, 6 years agoEssential for youtube.
In rare cases marks not watched videos as watched.
