Extra Features

OpenTubeX is a fork in its early stages that adds extra features beyond the original project. Here is what’s unique so far.

Per-channel playback speed

Remember playback speed on a per-channel basis. You can enable it in settings, save automatically when you change speed, or use a button under the player to save manually.

Per-channel video quality

Remember video quality on a per-channel basis with the same workflow as per-channel playback speed.

Optional seek-interval behavior

Choose whether seek intervals (arrow keys and J/L) are multiplied by playback rate.

Playback-rate adjusted timestamps

Optionally show timestamps adjusted for the current playback rate.

Chapter tooltips on seekbar

Display chapter tooltips directly on the seekbar.

Prevent YouTube translations

Option to prevent title and description translations from YouTube.

Quick search focus

Focus the search bar by pressing /, in addition to Ctrl+L or Cmd+L.

SponsorBlock auto-skip toggle

Quickly toggle SponsorBlock auto-skip right under the player.

SponsorBlock tooltips (unskip / reskip / prompt to skip)

Improved SponsorBlock tooltips with unskip, reskip, and prompt-to-skip when you need to replay a segment, skip it again, or decide on a segment before it is skipped.

SponsorBlock community chapters

Display SponsorBlock community-contributed chapters in the player.

SponsorBlock submission

Submit SponsorBlock segments directly from the player. This feature is experimental.

Tab support

Tabs like in a web browser

IP block recovery script

Set a script to run when YouTube blocks your IP. OpenTubeX waits for the script to finish, then reloads the video.

Auto Picture-in-Picture

Automatically enter Picture-in-Picture when you switch tabs or scroll away from a video.

Loop & Copy link in player context menu

Quickly toggle looping or copy the video link from the player’s context menu.

Quick Playback Speed Bar

Optional quick playback speed bar in the player for faster speed adjustments.
