Don't force volume or speed repeatedly in one video or playlist, but only once per tab/session?

[chirag127]

⚬ PROBLEM: I'm always frustrated when Force speed setting also force speed on the playing video. Let us imagine that i have set the playback force speed at 2x and then I have decrease the speed on the playing video by using playback speed on the video using shortcut to 1x. Then I have observed the speed of video become 2x after a couple of minutes.

⚬ SOLUTION: A clear and concise description of what I want to happen is that Do not force speed on playing video.

hi @chirag127 ohh yes!

BTW many people talk about this, but yet the usecase seems experimental to me.
personally i can imagine using it permanently after we also...:

• .. exclude music (Playback speeds exceptions: 1.Category:Music 2.Exclude word:Music Include:word:Interview, 3. ...? #551)

• AND have dynamic speed IDEA: 1. Skip intro & outro - X & Y seconds 2. Skip common phrases #514 (comment)

• AND more universal rules: Strategic blocking based on category, popularity & monoculture #1451 & (Youtube) The ability to block certain keywords.  #457

#551 is a different issue altogether . My issue apply to each and every on the YouTube as I think that it does not make sense to re bring the default default speed on any video if I changed the speed ( either decreased or increased )on the videos using playback speed shortcut.

it permanently after we

I think that you misunderstood my issue.
I'm not talking about remembering the speed set on the video . It is just for the time I'm watching the video. Let's say the video is of 1 hr and I have a default speed set at 2x and then I changed the speed to 2.5x using the shortcut then I what want is that the speed should remain 2.5x for the remaining time untill I reload the tab or changes the video. Talking about what the speed depends on the is the quality of the sound of the video and I don't think that there way that improved tube can detect if the quality of the sound is good or bad and as music video used to have to have good quality audio I tend to play them on the default speed.

So, I don't think that you can not implement it before #551 .

[ImprovedTube]

true. can surely be fixed soon, thats why this is labeled "bug" (not "feature request")

AND from our perspective the whole topic is one. i.e. The reason i cant imagine doing that is that i will lose the seconds that i save from having to reset the speed often. And it seems your usecase, when fixed, might still only have 5000 users or 1%,
while the perfect/automatic one would certainly be enough to be noticed by all of our users and more.
so that's what seems relevant to share with you everybody who might come here still before (AND after) we will close this bug

[chirag127]

might still only have 5000 users or 1%,

I think that bugs needs to be fixed even if a feature have less users .

And the previous comment is also edited so

• AND have dymanic speed #514 (comment)

• AND more universal rules: #565 (comment) & (Youtube) The ability to block certain keywords.  #457

Hmm... These feature requests Seems unrelated to this bug according to me .

I already use sponsorblock and I will love to see if it's can be implemented to this extension (but I don't know what the licence of sponsorblock say about it)as I will be able to ditch sponsorblock and block tube . I already do not use adguard ,video speed controller and magic action for you tube because of this extension. I will have 1 extension instead of 5 if the above feature requests are implemented in improved tube .

Thanks you for the extension.

[ImprovedTube]

yes, bugs should be fixed.

just another fact, that I thought of labeling/sorting this feature somehow, indicating it is still less of a general purpose/more of experiment🧪
maybe😮 I should get a conditional 0.85x, when tab isnt active.

As my experience, when the user replay the live stream video, the playing speed control feature will become invalid.
I tested the gameplay stream video and television broadcast live stream video.
This issue happened about 1 week ago until now.

Periodical speed forcing is very annoying.
I watching the video and already chosen a comfortable speed (different from the default speed), but in some cases, seems like every N minutes, the speed is forced to default.

I thing the cause is ImprovedTube.playerPlaybackSpeed() inside of the ImprovedTube.timeupdate function — it running at every onplay player event.

I don't know why it work this way (listen for onplay event), but when ImprovedTube.playerPlaybackSpeed() in the ImprovedTube.timeupdate was commented out, the issue is gone: the speed is only forced on page load and does not change until the end.

@gzzz great! you can directly make a pull request with such
(and if you want it to be perfect add comment in code + issue number)

[gzzz]

Done.

But I am still doesn't clear the mean of the condition:

(ImprovedTube.latestVideoDuration !== this.duration)

Looks like video duration can change during playback and script want to catch this change.

Hey, thanks for reply.

I mean the replay or rebroadcast of the live stream is still play on 1.0 x speed.

For example, this video is the 'youtube auto-recording' gameplay live stream, it can't play on higher than 2.0 x speed, or the play speed is controlled by the extension.
(this video is a MMO game live stream record)

And for the 'normal' video, this video can not play on 3.0 x speed.
(this video is a guide of online game)

*I just find the video that can not play on higher speed, it doesn't mean I always play the video on 3.0 speed.
**And also I just post these 2 videos for issue example, I didn't try to promote or ads the game or the video channel.

I always watch the News broadcast at higher speed.

Thanks dear developer.
