How to Find Your Most-Viewed Video on Google Maps

Thanks, @tony_b.

I agree. I wanted to draw attention to the fact that scrolling down all the way is very much practically impossible with the number of photos+videos I have (22.489) of which only 280 are videos.

So far I found it not even worth trying to scroll down enough to reach any of my videos in the contributions list sorted by views.

My sum of video plus pics views is currently 1.7 billion views while my 280 videos only collected 11.3 million views. So video views is only 0.075 percent if I calculated correctly.

So I still doubt it is worth trying. But I recently got a more powerful laptop so I may need to try.

I wish there was a webservice for this until Google Maps start offering us the needed filtering.

How do you recognize the first video as you scroll down on the mobile app @ShailendraOjha? There’s nothing to differentiate it from a photo, as there would be on a laptop or desktop.

Seems that LGs like @gncnpk and @WilfriedB have the solution in ā€œscriptsā€. I wouldn’t attempt to use those solutions on my work laptop, and my home laptop is near death. Any more load on that would be the final ā€œstraw that broke the camel’s backā€.

Thank you, @gncnpk, for reading my post, sharing your insights, and creating a user script. I will attempt to use this script.

Exactly, that is why I mentioned a server side solution like in a webservice rather than a client side script that runs locally after downloading a ton of data. But with fewer pics and videos I believe it can work.

It would be so helpful if Google Maps could kindly provide a separate tab for videos, just like it does for photos.

Unbelievable @gncnpk, this was incredibly quick!

Regarding:

A very good point, I wanted to tell you anyway:
I am using the ā€œEnhanced Edits Scriptā€ solely for the Auto Load function. While it always works fine for Photos → Date, I was only once able to scroll to my oldest Edit within less than one hour using one of the earliest version (0.0.7?). Using the later versions, I always gave up after more than 8 hours(!) still not reaching the end.
After having noticed that, I reverted to version 0.0.7 and it works in 55 minutes, if it doesn’t crash for not enough memory. It seems, the latter does not happen, if I freshly start Chrome only for using this function.

So I wonder:

  • What addition/change did cause this drastic slow down?
  • Would it be possible to create other ā€œstream linedā€ versions with the sole purpose to auto scroll reviews, photos or edits?

After scrolling to the end, I copy the HTML code to clipboard and analyze it for various purposes.

Fabulous tip @PrasadVR ji :+1:

I was able to find the video in 5 seconds and was surprised to see my top video had so many views.

Hey @WilfriedB, it looks like there was a lot of changes made in 0.0.8 for GMEE:

  • Added filter by edit type
  • Added event handlers that hide cluttered elements/text

Might be the reason behind why it’s a lot slower now, I’ll see what I can do to optimize it :slight_smile:

For me, 0.0.7 is just fine. Not sure, about others, though.

Possibly, that created a huge array. When you watch the times, it needs to scroll down 10, you can see how it quickly increases.

BTW, there are more than 3 states: I found ā€˜Reported false’ (className: ā€˜Gf1CQb’) and ā€˜Unknown’ (className: ā€˜SCu5Oe’), because I was wondering why the total numbers didn’t match with mine.
