Review: OK - script works, but has bugs

Great it works on embedded YT videos!

But could you make it look like this https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/376155-youtube-scroll-volume ? Have an UI showing what's the current volume%

I wanted to keep it minimal.
Don't you think the native volume slider appearance is enough?
Is the % value helpful?

No, since it doesn't show what's the current volume, neither on hover.

Is the % value helpful?

What do you mean?

Thank you for your feedback!

I have been thinking about adding a precise volume% text near the native slider, but then I realised I might not need that accuracy.

Why do you need an accurate value of the volume level?

§

Got it.
That would be helpful.

It would be good for me because I already know I like to listen to YT music videos on the volume on 20%.

I just updated the script with that feature :)

Now it seems like the script is making videos start muted.

jeanwlAuthor
§
Posted: 2021.07.29.

Seems fine on my side.
If you quit a video with volume set to 0, the next one will start with volume 0 too, as it saves volume.

§
Posted: 2021.07.29.

Weird, I never set any videos to volume 0

§
Posted: 2023.06.16.

Could you please add an option to disable the "permanently save" volume?

It conflicts with https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/429143-auto-set-youtube-volume

Maybe the script is easy enough to be read? Commenting line 24 won't restore saved volume.

I just updated with the fix suggested by 𝖢𝖸 𝖥𝗎𝗇𝗀.
I have seen some "Are you there" popup lately, I need to update this soon.
Thank you for the feedback!

It is still not working with his script...

Arrow keys work to change volume, but not your script.

Sorry about that.
I will install his script and investigate further.

I just installed https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/484611-youtube-audio-only
I am not seeing any conflict with this script, volume wheel controls seems to be working on my end.

What specific feature did you encounter a problem with?

§
Posted: 2024.02.12.

volume wheel controls are not working on my end

I was able to reproduce the issue with your link.
I just published an update that should have fixed this issue.
Thank you for the report!

§

You are welcome
Thanks for fixing that

Now it no longer works on embedded videos inside pages, unless I click on the volume icon, it won't work. After I click on the Icon it works...

jeanwlAuthor
§
Posted: 2024.05.01.

I have just update the script to support youtube-nocookie.com domain that is sometimes used for embedded videos.
If you still encounter this issue, please send me an example page that does not work.
Thank you!

Posted: 2024.05.02.

Thank you for the links.
I am able to use this script features on both embedded videos on Chrome, with and without the YouTube: Audio Only script.
Are there any other script or extension you might be using that affect youtube player?

§
Posted: 2024.05.02.
Edited: 2024.05.02.

The issue is you told me to comment the line code that auto sets the audio.
Can we just pls have it removed?
//this.volume = Number(localStorage.getItem(this.volumeSk)) || 5
//api.setVolume(this.volume)

It also makes https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/429143-auto-set-youtube-volume not work

Btw volume saving doesn't even work with your script anyway, because you use local storage, and I always clear everything when the browser closes and when I shutdown my PC, so it's very annoying to have all YT video audios being set up to 5%, which is almost the same as mute

jeanwlAuthor
§
Posted: 2024.05.02.

I am sorry about that, it was not a very thoughtful recommendation 😅
Thank you for the explanation, it makes sense to clear everything for privacy and performance reasons!
I updated the script to use GM_setValue and GM_getValue instead of localStorage.

It still making https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/429143-auto-set-youtube-volume not work

My issue remains "How the heck to I disable this annoying script needless feature that is making https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/429143 not work?

jeanwlAuthor
§
Posted: 2024.05.03.

You use https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/429143 because you prefer having a fixed volume on each video, is that correct?
Why is a fixed volume better than a saved volume for you?

§
Posted: 2024.05.03.
Edited: 2024.05.03.

Fixed means it will always be that.

Yours make the video at first have a 5% volume, which I dislike.
I prefer not having to always auto-set the audio on each video I watch, and have it fixed on what I want for all videos I watch.
I usually don't watch the same video more than once anyway.

Either way, I prefer using 429143 than this script for that, even if this script doesn't work as I said, or if you changed its functionality to work as I said.

jeanwlAuthor
§
Posted: 2024.05.03.

The 5% is only a default value for when the script is first used.

With the update I just made, the volume is now saved with GM_setValue, which should resolve the issue you encountered with localStorage.

Each video you load should now have the same volume as the previous video you watched (even after cleaning site data).

§
Posted: 2024.05.07.
Edited: 2024.05.07.

It solved it... at the same time that it didn't...
At least now it's never below 15%, but I have a specific video that I want on 15% all the time and the rest I want on 100%.
Could you please add a feature to track each video volume, and restore it only when the specific video is opened?

At least that way all videos would have the volume I want forever. This is the reason why I want to use https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/429143

§
Posted: 2024.05.11.

If you don't want to add this feature, which line should I comment out?

§
Posted: 2024.06.20.
Edited: 2024.06.20.

I think it used to support https://yts.mx/movies/road-wars-max-fury-2024 and now it stopped working?
