en can you please add a annatation adder and editor since we can only see annations through your thing it wouldnt do any other silly mumbo jumbo please if possible. i would be so thankful if you could do this as i like annotations and i like making em if you cant do that then is it possible for you to make a tutorial of the xml method that you said at least existed in an other review. its alright if you cant. the viewer is alrady enough. the maker would just be the extras. thank you so much so much

en Pretty bloody good, on 99.9% of videos i've used this on, it's worked flawlessly. My only issue is that it relies on some kind of cache or web crawl to get the annotations. This means that on really obscure videos, the annotations don't show up. The only way to get them back is if the uplaoder also has the extension and uploads the annotation files. However, this happened to me on literally 1 video after using this for 4 years.

en Looks good, sometimes, it needs to fix some less broken annotations, in case, it should have been working perfectly

en It barely works like it says "Checking for annotations..." almost everytime when I watch a video with annotations. (I know it works but it doesn't quite on the same videos.)

en Could you add an annotation editor to add our own annotations?

en sadly, the one video I downloaded this for (JerryTerry's The Boys Are Back in Town) didn't have annotations on it, but it does work for other videos, and I understand that you can't get every single video's annotation, which is why I'm still giving this 5 stars.
