🟨 Warn | No change yet; auto-retry wave running
🟩 Success | Advanced to a new reel
🟥 Error | Advance failed — still on same reel

Scan Reels — Scrolls the page to collect all visible reel IDs for counting.

Stop Scan — Cancels the running scan.

Scan Depth — Number (5 – 2000) + Apply to control how far it scrolls.

How “End → Next” Works

1. When a reel finishes, the script pauses the media while deciding the next move.

2. It waits for a confirmed change (new URL ID + new video element).

3. Once confirmed, it unpauses and continues autoplay.

4. If confirmation fails, it shows a warning and runs auto-retries.

5. If still stuck, it reports an error and resumes the current reel.

Hotkeys

Shortcut | Action
Ctrl + ` | Toggle debug console
Shift + D | Toggle advance direction
Shift + P | Toggle pause mode (Loop / Media)
Shift + A | Pause / Resume
Shift + M | Mute / Unmute
Shift + X | Exit reels (Stop)

Tips

If Pause doesn’t stop the clip, set Pause Mode to Media.

If Count says “scan grid to enable”, open a Reels grid and click Scan Reels once.

The script automatically recovers after FB navigation; use Debug to check its current state.
