YouTube Auto Reload – Fix “Video Unavailable”

Keep your YouTube viewing smooth and uninterrupted.
This lightweight extension automatically detects when a video fails to play and reloads the tab so you never have to press Refresh.

🎯 Key Features

• ✅ Automatic reload on playback failure — detects if a video on youtube.com/watch?v= is stuck or shows “Video unavailable,” then reloads the tab.
• ✅ Automatically monitors new videos — keeps track of new video IDs so you don’t miss changes in playlists or when you click next.
• ✅ Reload counter included — tracks how many videos have been saved from the “Video unavailable” error.
• ✅ Minimal and efficient — no heavy libraries, no data collection, just plain WebExtension code.
• ✅ Cross-browser support — works in both Chrome, Edge, Brave and Firefox (desktop) without additional setup.

🧪 How It Works

1. The extension watches for navigation changes and URL updates on YouTube.
2. When a new video ID appears and the playback fails (e.g., no video element or “Video unavailable” message), it triggers a reload of the tab.
3. The video reloads, the playback resumes, and your experience stays seamless.

🔒 Privacy & Security

• ❌ No user data is collected or sent.
• ❌ No analytics or third-party tracking.
• ✅ All code runs locally in your browser; nothing leaves your machine.

ℹ️ How to Use

Just install the extension.
Whenever you hit a problematic YouTube video, it will automatically reload and restore playback — you don’t need to lift a finger.
