YouTube Music Auto-Confirm & Anti-Pause

A lightweight, highly effective Tampermonkey userscript that ensures uninterrupted listening on YouTube Music. It automatically dismisses "Are you still there?" prompts, auto-accepts viewer discretion warnings, and spoofs user activity to prevent playback from pausing in the background.

✨ Features

Anti-Pause Activity Spoofing: Silently spoofs user activity (simulating keypresses and updating internal trackers) every minute to prevent YouTube's inactivity timer from triggering.
Auto-Dismiss "Are you still there?": If the inactivity popup does manage to appear, the script instantly detects it, clicks "Yes", and resumes playback.
Auto-Accept Discretion Warnings: Automatically clicks "I understand and wish to proceed" on content warnings (e.g., suicide/self-harm topics) and resumes the video/song.
Native UI Integration: Injects a sleek, non-intrusive status badge into the top-right YouTube Music navigation bar. It features a pulsing green dot and tracks how many times activity has been spoofed.
Smart Loop Prevention: Includes a 3-second action cooldown and promise-based error handling to prevent infinite play/pause loops caused by strict browser autoplay policies.

🚀 Installation

Install a Userscript Manager:
- Tampermonkey (Recommended)
- Violentmonkey
- Greasemonkey
Install the Script:
- Option A (Direct Install): Click on the YouTube_Music_Auto_Confirm_-Are_You_Still_There-_&_Discretion_Warning-1.9.user.js file in this repository, click the Raw button, and your userscript manager should prompt you to install it.
- Option B (Manual): Open your userscript manager dashboard, click "Create a new script", copy the entire contents of the .user.js file from this repository, paste it into the editor, and save (Ctrl+S / Cmd+S).
Refresh YouTube Music: Reload any open music.youtube.com tabs for the script to take effect.

💻 Usage

Once installed, the script runs completely in the background. You don't need to configure anything.

To verify it is working:

Open YouTube Music.
Look at the top right corner of the navigation bar (next to your profile picture/cast icon).
You should see a subtle Anti-Pause: 0 badge with a pulsing dot. The number will increase every minute as the script spoofs activity to keep your session alive.

🛠️ How It Works (Technical Details)

Activity Spoofing: YouTube tracks inactivity via the window._lact variable. The script updates this timestamp to Date.now() and dispatches a harmless Shift keyup event every 60 seconds.
DOM Monitoring: The script polls the DOM every 2 seconds (and listens for HTML5 <video> pause events) to check for the presence of ytmusic-you-there-renderer or #player-error-message-container.
Visibility Checks: It uses .offsetParent !== null to ensure it only interacts with popups that are actually visible on the screen, avoiding false positives from hidden DOM elements.
Autoplay Handling: Browsers often block scripts from calling video.play() if the user hasn't interacted with the page recently. The script catches DOMException autoplay rejections gracefully to prevent console spam and infinite loops.

⚠️ Troubleshooting

The video stays paused after a warning: If you open a link in a new background tab and a discretion warning appears, the script will click "Proceed", but your browser's Autoplay Policy might block the video from resuming until you physically click anywhere on the page. This is a browser security feature, not a bug in the script.
Badge isn't showing: The script waits for the YouTube Music navigation bar to load. If you have a slow connection, it might take a few extra seconds for the "Anti-Pause" badge to appear.
