Bug: Broken on webOS 1 and 2

[throwaway96]

Apparently 0.3.4-rc1 doesn't work on webOS 1 and 2. I wasn't even aware that it worked on those versions, since they use WebKit for WAM.

I'm not actually sure which webOS versions each YTAF release is broken on. As I have said elsewhere, it's difficult/impossible for me to properly test on webOS <4, so I have to rely on reports from users. I think 0.3.3 may work on webOS 1/2, but I'd like someone to confirm that. 0.3.3 does not work on webOS 1/2 either.

The problem is that the userscript is not running at all (due to a syntax error in the case of 0.3.3 on webOS 3.x). Users often can't tell the difference between YTAF running but failing to block some ads and the YTAF userscript not running at all. Generally, if the green button doesn't bring up the options panel, the userscript isn't running. I'm thinking about adding something to make it more obvious. Maybe another userscript with very simple JS that will display an error if the main YTAF userscript doesn't run.

Have you tried adding the appropriate browsers to .browserslistrc?

[throwaway96]

It doesn't seem like browserslist supports WebKit—at least not directly. Maybe ios_saf or something?

[fire332]

Honestly, those browsers are so old that it's worth having a separate build for them to not unload a truck load of redundant polyfills for newer webOS versions.

0.3.3 does not work on WebOS 1.0, no green button etc. 0.3.2 is the last working version.

This should run on webOS 1 and 2 and block most of the new ads: https://github.com/throwaway96/youtube-webos/releases/tag/v0.3.2-webkit1

Works like a charm !! Very cool. THX !! Tested on WebOS 1

[throwaway96]

People with webOS 1 or 2: please try https://github.com/throwaway96/youtube-webos/releases/tag/v0.3.5-dev2.

Does not work... installed 0.3.2 again... works fine on webos 1

Hmm, I get pre-roll ads on version 0.3.2 (WebOS 1.4)

How can install this apk to webOS 1 device, please?
If I try to install it via HomeBrew Dev Manager, I get an error:
Unable to exec: luna-send-pub: Failed to call getIDs

@Egorkat

What version of Dev Manager are you using? If not the latest one, then try that.

[Egorkat]

It is latest 1.13.3

Note: The correct workaround as of now is v0.3.2-webkit1 as throwaway96 said. That works for me on webOS 1.4. Has Sponsorblock working and removes the pre-roll ads.

Just don't make the same mistake I made and install the regular 0.3.2 version. That shows all the pre-roll ads, just Sponsorblock works. Later versions up to 0.3.4 don't work properly on webOS 1.

And a note to myself: Install downloaded IPKs via the Install button at the top of webos-dev-manager. If it fails, uninstall the app first. All the config will stay on the device. If you get some getID error, restarting the TV after the uninstall and reconnecting should make it work.
