MTV and Greasemonkey
Well it looks like MTV have released all of their videos a la Youtube (although you can’t post them yourself, which is like the difference between two dimensions and three dimensions)… but they are there, and they appear to work. Slightly frustrating in that you look up your fav song, and they’ve got the artist doing everything except the one you want to hear. Still. Kudos to MTV for not trying to fight the weather etc.
Anyway, the default size thing is a little stingy :
So I started hacking about with it and then thought… what the hell, I may as well use this as an excuse to try out greasemonkey… so I did.
Here’s a script that converts all MTV video links so they popup a full screen window. Highly rendundant because the videos already contain a button that allows them to run full screen…
… but there it is. It is at least proof-of-concept, and contains a jquery embed thing which might come in handy to someone else.
