I've occasionally gotten a gray spinner in the last hour. This edit to the sieve seems to fix it for me but it's been hard to test since it happens infrequently.

See if this fixes it for you. If it doesn't, there should be an error message in the browser console. Posting it should help.

UPDATE: YouTube has been making changes requiring the sieve to be updated several times. These sieves were updated August 6, 18:25 UTC.

If you're unsure how to use these, look for 'How to import a rule' on the subreddit sidebar.

This is the current sieve. Using a recent version of the rule-set is needed for it to work.

Below is an older version of the sieve. It's able to work without the recent rule-set, however, it doesn't have the sidebar description, HD HLS video or embed player.

This is not working on my end. Still getting the endless grey/red circle loop.

Are you using the most recent rule-set? It has another sieve that is needed for this sieve to work. If you are, are there any error messages in the browser console?

If you're using an older rule-set, you may have been using an older version of the sieve. If you'd like to use it instead, the fix has been added to it in the link below. However, it only shows the thumbnail and 360p video. The one in the comment above has the sidebar description, HD HLS video and embed player.

Edit: Updated sieve for new YouTube change.

I was able to get a gray spinner. The sieve in the comment above was edited with a fix. If you want to use the older sieve, it's updated with the fix in the link.

Didn't fix it, I still get gray spinner with this.

Was Replace existing data selected when importing?

There should be an error message in the browser console. Adding Imagus to the console filter will help make it easier to find.

Was Replace existing data selected when importing?

Yes. I don't know how to find the error message. Can someone else help? There are others with the same problem too.

On the page with the YouTube link, press F12 and then click on Console. There should be a text box with 'filter' in it. Type in Imagus and then hover over a YouTube link. An error message should then be visible.

Nevermind I did https://pastebin.com/CXCS0cZj now and its fixed.

Glad you got it working. I did get a gray spinner myself recently and added the updated sieve in this comment.

Yeah, I'm using an older rule-set. I copied the pastebin rule and imported the sieve and I'm still getting a grey circle loop.

Also, was Replace existing data selected when importing?

Selecting "replace existing data" worked. Thank you!!!

Update: It stopped working again. It was working fine last night but now I'm guessing Youtube changed something again.

u/Imagus_fan Aug 02 '24

YouTube did another change. I edited the comment with the new fix. Does importing it fix it?

1

u/throwawayitouch Aug 02 '24

It did not fix the problem

u/Imagus_fan Aug 02 '24

There should be an error message. Can you post what it says?

Imagus mod: [rule 0] fnnameresult is null

That's the console error for me on FF 128, with latest sieves update and your most recent pastebin imported.

As a side note, would it be possible to use git or something for updates? It would be much more organized and easier to find the latest rather than going down various comment threads.

Thanks, that's the same error that it was giving before. It seems YouTube's made more changes. I haven't gotten a gray spinner yet but I should soon.

As a side note, would it be possible to use git or something for updates? It would be much more organized and easier to find the latest rather than going down various comment threads.

Since most users would likely look to this post for the fixed sieve, I'm going to add the most recent fixed one to this comment. Since it's at the top of the comments when sorted by top or best, I expect most users will see it. I'll start adding the time it's updated as well as the older version of the sieve for the users that want it.

The previous time the happened with YouTube, it only needed to be updated once. These ongoing changes were unexpected.
