Script applies in watch URL but not in live URL of the same stream

[iPaulis]

Hi, thanks yor so many years of this awesome script.

I just found that in a link I received the video was not being fit properly, however when I manually go into the channels page and select the live streaming the video fits to window size as expected. The only difference seems to be the URL.

Script not correctly applying URL: https://www.youtube.com/live/Ve_r_JMQnGE
Same stream script working URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve_r_JMQnGE

If you could have a look, it may be just a small fix.

Thanks.

Try edit line 277 into:

  return url.match(/https?:\/\/(www\.)?youtube.com\/(live\/|watch\?)/);

ResizeYoutubePlayerToWindowSize/153699.user.js

Line 277 in 2ba9452

return url.match(/https?:\/\/(www\.)?youtube.com\/watch\?/);

After the official update, you would need to reinstall the script.

Yeah, exactly, changing that line fixed it, now both URL formats work the same way.
Thank you.

I have little/lack experience with regex, so I don't recommend my idea as a PR solution without checking for false positive matches.

I may have missed something or generated some catastrophic backtracking.

Confirmed the fix is still missing in the current version (v139): isWatchUrl only matches /watch?, so direct /live/ links still skip the resize. The manual regex change works, so I opened #110 which applies it in 153699.user.js (also bumps the version and adds a changelog entry).

Overall, it seems that something personal forced they to abandon that GitHub account, they hasn't made any external commits for 7 months.
