Review: Good - script works

It's like Game Genie for PornHub

This guy gets it. This UI enhancer gives some very legit & non-simpleton filtering/parameters for everything displayed on PH. My opinion of PH went from "entirely dismissed" to "A+" almost instantly & obviously the "A+" is designated for this userscript.

Thanks for the praise.

PH or may I say almost all such tube sites are very hard to navigate without at least the duration and rating filters.

Though PH does have multiple category combination and exclusion (recently removed from UI, URLs work) which sets it apart from others.

Do suggest stuff though I am thinking of adding the following sometime:

  • blacklist/sanitizer UI to finally remove the need of manual script intervention.
  • Configuration Presets
  • Import/Export Configuration, this will make backup easier as plugin updates/cache is cleared

I saw that another user had the same issue I had with the most recent update in that the blacklist filters weren't working, but your suggestion cleared it right up by clearing the cache for the extension. I figure that an unrelated user's identical problem + solution acknowledgment is probably a useful thing for devs to hear about.
Also just saw your reply 6 months down the road when I just now revisited this comment and have a suggestion or three since it sounds like you're very receptive to them... Since you already acknowledged the proposed feature, this isn't much of a suggestion, but more of a "seconding" in that I'm even though I'm not a programmer/developer in any capacity *whatsoever*(and not even a passing resemblance if you squint... it just isn't my calling), that fact [obviously] doesn't keep me away from enjoying "hacker-ish" things like userscripts and programs like MPV and attempting to get the most out of them. Keeping that in mind, whenever I need to manually edit scripts/code/config files/etc. to tweak some configurable thing in that capacity it's like starting the space shuttle to my willfully ignorant brain, so I'd be more than grateful for a GUI capability to add blacklist entries just so it can keep me out of editor-land where I don't belong.
A suggestion that you likely already gave some thought to (and possibly even acknowledged elsewhere which I'm oblivious to) is the idea of keeping the results page to a static amount of items *after the script has done its filtering*, i.e. always having a dozen or so results & not just two or three which can be common when doing a keyword search if you've got some fairly strict filtering in place.
Last suggestion that I'd love to see more than the other two x100 would be the option to have "sort by" available in playlists or have it be a universal drop down thing in the UI (i.e. "rating, views, duration, newest"). Having your filtering in place has turned my control-freak vetting up to 11 & now I won't be at peace until I can use PH like it was Windows explorer, haha.
Anyway, I'm in concurrence with the other reviewer on here who said "Best script on Greasy Fork", no joke! You should put a link up on your user profile for people to throw some $ your way, which I'll do the next time I do some drinking if you do. Cheers!

  1. Blacklist Issue

    I am not working on a directed solution to the blacklist problem because I can't reproduce it. Clearing cache is something like a self destruct button. The "Update" button, moves config to cache, and "Purge" deletes it and loads settings from the script. Now these settings are sourced from when the page was loaded and not updated later (impossible to do so).

  2. Blacklist/Sanitization UI

    I will make it yes, but now its becoming crowded so have to figure out a way to makes it less so.

  3. Next Page Loading

    This I am afraid is not very possible for free hahaha. It demands a lot of work. Its not like right now I only spend 3-4 hours for a feature released every week or so. It will take days to figure out everything, it might not work even at the end.

  4. Playlist sorting

    The issue with this is not whether I can make such a feature but the consistency of it. As you have seen, playlists are loaded in steps. This makes for inconsistent sorting. As the script can't act on the whole playlist, the sorting will reorder the videos every time new ones are loaded.

    Loading the whole playlist is also out of the question as some are really huge. So the best I can do is to make those "batches" behave like sections/pages and sort will act on them individually.

    What do you think? Or any other way you think this can be presented?

  5. Donations

    Unfortunately I am from a country unsupported by PayPal. With a quick search I couldn't find a similar service like PayPal to do the same. So I have added my Skrill email for donations in my profile. It does have a hitch of making a Skrill account before sending with a card.
