Hello!

I created a very simple chrome extension that right now does one thing: add a button to enable Picture in Picture for videos using the giant bomb video player (so livestreams and premium videos, youtube videos don't get the button). I plan on adding a few more small tweaks to the GB UI in the future, I just wrote this quickly today because I wanted to have it for the E3 videos.

For anyone who doesn't know how picture-in-picture works, it'll make the video pop out and become a borderless window that is always on top that can be dragged around.

The extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/eahifpmebkailjdmbfoiadmcicplmpka

Enjoy!

@wcarle is it on purpose that only the last 100 times get saved? Seems like older data just gets lost.

Found a bug: Hiding watched videos results in an internal error for the request.

I went back and "marked as watched" many older videos (by going to the end of the video) to keep track of what I had watched and what not.

Now, when I watch new videos, older ones show as not watched (the progress bar is at 0 on the videos view). It seems there is a hard limit on the number of videos that have their watched progress displayed properly.

From looking at the network calls when loading a page of videos, it seems like the call postrender has the saved times information, and 'data.VideoBundle.times' is always limited to 100 videos, which doesn't seem to be related to the ones currently on the page (essentially always limiting to only showing the watched progress for the latest 100 videos that I've watched). Is this limitation intended or is there a plan to get the watched progress just for the page I'm currently looking at?

Thanks!

Actually, it seems the URL is correct, but the response is failing with a 500 error, example: http://www.giantbomb.com/api/video_type/2/

In the Video Types resource, the attribute api_detail_url points to http://www.giantbomb.com/api/video_type/<ID>, but the correct URL should be http://www.giantbomb.com/api/video_types/<ID>.

Hi, I've seen references in some forum posts about a new API being released soon. Is there a new release? Or are those comments referring to the current version?
