Hi, can you add a button hovering the link to add to the player? So you can just add the link to the potplayer playlist from the search results of youtube? Sorry for my english.

Раньше постоянно ставил этому расширению 5, сейчас ставлю 1, уже скоро год будет, как с ним проблемы. Самое последнее обновление вышло проблемным, у меня перестали воспроизводиться добавленные ссылки. Увидел в комментарии ниже, что человек откатился на предыдущую версию и сделал то же самое. Почти год горя не знал, хотя постоянно зудело обновиться. Сегодня видимо случайно что-то нажал и всё-таки обновился на последнюю версию, опять всё перестало работать, как и год назад. Неужели так сложно починить это? Уже год прошёл. Сейчас решил подробнее посмотреть, почему ссылки не воспроизводятся, оказывается дополнение добавляет ссылку с https без двоеточия после него! И получается https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCwILDyqu64 и поэтому ссылки не проигрываются в плеере
