This is due to the fix from yesterday.
I’ve reverted to v2.4.24 while waiting for a proper solution.

Also, please understand that issues like this are hard to investigate without details.
I created an issue template with examples for a reason : you need to specify exactly which page you’re on (home, video, search, etc.).
As I mentioned yesterday, if you encounter a problem with video titles again, please copy and paste the full HTML element of the video title in your report.
This will make it much easier and faster for me to find and fix the problem.

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my omissions.
I'm adding this even if it will be hard to investigate this error without the full HTML element, but I was on the home page.
In addition, may you send me an example of a full HTML element of a video (I have very little web developing skills, so I'm not sure of what it is)? Thank you.

Sure, sorry my bad. It would look like this for example :
<a id="video-title-link" class="yt-simple-endpoint focus-on-expand style-scope ytd-rich-grid-media" aria-label="Nouveaux phares pour mon projet Volvo 850R ! 18 minutes" title="Nouveaux phares pour mon projet Volvo 850R !" href="/watch?v=ZnCqn3MyNho"><yt-formatted-string id="video-title" class="style-scope ytd-rich-grid-media" title="New headlights for my Volvo 850R project!" ynt="ZnCqn3MyNho"><span ynt-span="ZnCqn3MyNho">Nouveaux phares pour mon projet Volvo 850R !</span></yt-formatted-string></a>

Right click on the title, inspect element and look for the link (a) element. Don't just copy the element but also what's inside (copy outer HTML). Paste it under triple backtiks or github will only display a link.
So something like ```link element```

Is this OK, right?

Yep that's it. But this one seems ok, that was just for testing right?
I'm releasing v2.4.27 this afternoon. Empty titles will be gone for sure. And concatenated ones SHOULD (for the 1000 times :/) be gone.

Thanks for confirming (yes, it was just for testing). And sorry for omitting in the report the HTML element and where the issue was located. I promise it won't happen again 😅

No problem.
v2.4.27 available.
Also, next time (hopefully never) you have a problem with titles: switch to another tab and come back, it will trigger a manual call to the title refresh function. Let me know if it fixes the title or not. That way, I’ll know if the broken title is detected or not, which will help with troubleshooting.

Most of the time I try to switch tab and come back, the title has never been fixed. I'll let you know. And thanks for the update.
