Thumbnails Are Black on Channel Homepages “Featured” Videos

[danispringer]

Example: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJg-_LkT2C9uxGYVB2K63sg

I also tried adding that channel ID (UCJg-_LkT2C9uxGYVB2K63sg) to a new configuration (although I'm not sure if and how to "activate" said configuration)

Thanks

This seems to happen with random videos too (above example is my own channel, but happens even if not on channel page, rather on video page).
Turning extension OFF and ON seems to temporarily fix, and refreshing the page reproduces the issue again.

Only the first 3 videos on my homepage have thumbnails and when I click on a video none of them do. I don't even have Thumbnail replacement enabled.
Someone really needs to take a real look into why the thumbnail part of this extension is so jank.

@FatheredPuma81 If you have BlockTube installed, the latest version caused a problem with DeArrow. I just published 1.5.3 which fixes this issue

Why must important extensions break one another D:<. Thank you for fixing someone else's problem.

Because: YouTube (i.e.: Google).
I hope that answers your question… ;)

@ajayyy was this fixed?

@ajayyy on my own channel, the featured video thumbnail is black: https://www.youtube.com/@danispringer

My settings are that if I'm on my own channel ID, videos should revert to original thumbnails, but for the featured video, something seems broken. I'm happy to test stuff.
Thanks.

[ajayyy]

What do you mean by featured? Can you send a screenshot?

[danispringer]

@ajayyy here you go:

thank you

[ajayyy]

I don't see any black thumbnails

[danispringer]

@ajayyy right, because the above screenshot is in incognito, where extensions are all disabled. Here is not incognito (although I'm still trying to determine that deArrow is the issue. I tried disabling all extensions, including deArrow, and it still happened, so not sure, but it never happened before installing deArrow, let me try to uninstall it completely)

thanks

[danispringer]

@ajayyy yeah, disabling the extension in "brave://extensions/" immediately fixes the issue, so it is the extension.
thanks

[danispringer]

@ajayyy how do I update the extension? (If update already live). Sometimes random videos will be black too.

Thanks!
