More about this extension

This is similar to our old friend ‘Youtube controller’, except it takes much less space from the toolstrip, and its status is updating automatically when the player starts and stops or reaches the end of the video.
I haven’t figured out yet how to completely hide the strip when threre is no content in there, but I hope someone will help out with this one.
Now there are not more toolstrips, so I have migrated to browser actions.
If you have any requests/suggestions/nice graphics, please do tell!

Change Log:

Now that Chrome has dropped the ToolStrip (It's a shame!), We have to put in the browser actions,

So this is the major change in this version...
Other update is an improved youtube event monitoring, which is now working perfectly to tell the extension when youtube has started or finished playing. But now that there's no toolstrip, its not that important anymore...

    Change Log:

    Better icons now! thanks to nishad

    By looking a little in the dev-channel, I found out that in the next beta, the toolstrips could be removed. If this is the case, I will change it to work as a browser actions button.

    How can I pause or start a video from another tab???
    When I press on the videos button in the toolstrip it just says youtube playback

    I would prefer that when I close the page of YouTube, the bottom bar disappear.

    john – Please make sure that you are using the LATEST DEV version of chrome, as there were some ‘breaking’ changes to the extensions’ framework, and my extension is designed for the latest version.

    Pitch89 – As of right now, I can’t find a way to dynamically hide the toolstrip completely. I tried the collapse/expand methods, but it seems that it works only on the Mac right now…

    Can do so that when you mute any time Youtube icon disappears. You come back with a movie icon appears.

    Btw. Great extension!
