igrigorik / videospeed Goto Github PK

For example, on Khan Academy website, I have to keep speeding up the video manually with every new page, which can get tedious with short videos and long courses with many of them; plus keyboard shortcuts not working on such pages makes things even more repetitive as one is forced to use the mouse.

It would help a little if the + any - signs are always visible—with the speed—and clickable.

Thank you.

Hi, you have a backwards button, but add forwards button. thx

I believe the May 17 update broke the options / settings functionality. They're being saved, but not used.

I found this issue while testing addition of an "Advance" (skip forward) option button, and had to back up and verify I hadn't broken it myself.

The speed persists between videos, even though I am expecting the default behaviour of not remembering the speed.

As far as I can tell the extension no longer pays attention to this setting.

Pluralsight on chrome plays all videos at speed of 0.5 and requires manual reset upon any play or skip operation.

Hi.

This used to work just fine (last time I used it was about three weeks ago) but today when I'm watching a Netflix video in fullscreen the keyboard speed up and slow down keys do not respond. It still shows the current speed in the corner as if the plugin were active. If I hit escape to back out of fullscreen and continue watching within the browser then I can use the keyboard controls.

If I go to Chrome's View menu and choose to make Chrome fullscreen, then it works. For some reason it's just Netflix's fullscreen control that is making it behave oddly.

I'm using Google Chrome Version 43.0.2357.134 (64-bit) running in Ubuntu 15.04

After checking the box for "Remember Playback Speed," I can't click the save button to save the configuration, and therefore the option to remember playback speed isn't available. The "Restore Defaults" button also doesn't seem to work.

Is there a way to re-position the speed overlay? In my opinion i'ts in an inconvenient place right now in the top left, and often covers up some of the content (most notably when it's on top of text in the video). It seems like a much less busy area would be the upper right, or even the bottom right. Is this possible?

Love the extension! One thing I'd like to see, though, is the ability to customize the shortcuts, particularly with modifier keys. A S and D simply interfere with video players. For example, S opens up the Share window in Vimeo, one of the largest video services.

Lots of people get confused about "a" key rewinding and decreasing playback speed. We can separate this behavior and allow customization by splitting "speed increment" + initializing rewind key to 0.

Every now and then the speed difference will be off by 5% vs 10%. This has only happened on YouTube videos so far. When I figure out how to reproduce I will post here. Until then just consider this a stub.

When I watch a YouTube at fullscreen, increasing/decreasing doesn't cause the overlay to appear. Instinctively I thought we should have it show but I can see the case where some may not want that. Would a PR to set this to show via an option be okay?

Thank you for working on this awesome extension.

On the following page:
http://www.riversoftware.com/product/overview

I can see the extension's icon, showing a speed of 1.0, but I cannot control the speed and nothing pops up when I hover the mouse pointer over the extension's icon.

I believe that Video Speed Controller freezes Lynda.com pages when the HTML5 video format is picked and a user tries to play a video.

Perhaps you can see this happening on a page like this:
http://www.lynda.com/Storyline-tutorials/Articulate-Storyline-2-First-Look/192762-2.html

You may want to know that Lynda.com offers buttons to speed up HTML5 videos, but only up to 2x. Maybe this is the reason?

The reason I believe that the extension clashes is that the pages and HTML5 videos worked fine when I disabled the extension.

Obviously I can switch to the other video format, or disable the extension temporarily and use the site's built-in accelerator, but I just wanted to check first whether the problem has a solution, as I prefer to use the extension if possible, as it offers more customizable control over video speeds.

Hello,

Thank you for the extension.
It would be great if the shortcuts are also available while playing videos offline. In addition to the "rewind 10 sec" shortcut, adding a "forward 10 sec" shortcut would be also nice. i.e. something similar to the shortcuts in "Potplayer".

Thank you again

Thanks for this plugin - it's just what i was looking for.

I tried to use it to change the speed on video files that i opened directly in the browser. This didn't work; I'm guessing the plugin doesn't run in this case.

thanks in advance.

Christmas came early when I found out today that videospeed works with Netflix. Is this new?

Any chance it could work with Hulu?

A lot of videos recently show title or other information along the top of a video on hover, this tends to cover-up the onscreen speed control making it difficult to adjust.

Awesome extension. i was just wondering if there was any way to make it auto-hide while watching netflix as it's quite distracting sitting in the top corner all the time.

Great work! This chrome extension is simple yet very helpful. If possible, it would be really convenient to be able to assign a keyboard shortcut to play/pause and to skip forward by a defined interval.

Awesome work, Thanks!

The current playback speed is not restored but set to 1.00 between YouTube playlist videos, although the "Remember Playback Speed" setting is checked. This happens although the current and previous videos are HTML5. Version is 0.2.2

I've noticed the same issue on a few videos.. need to investigate.

I think there may be a bug with this setting. Recently I noticed the video speed setting would start wherever I left it in a previous video. However, I have this option unchecked in the Options page. Is this checkbox flipped?

keep the minimum at 0.00 not .05 since I use it w/ a change of 1.00 and use the min as a pause and I can't get the maximum 4.00 since it would exceed it at 4.05 which causes the audio to not work

I'm not sure if it's always been like this or if I just noticed it. It seems that now the speed change and rewind don't work while the video is paused (shortcuts or with the mouse buttons).

This extension prevents users from being able to un-mute embedded Vines, as shown here:

Allow arrow keys to be configured for fast forward and rewind.

Add a turn off the lights function so that everything but the video is darkened. See Turn Off The Lights extension for more details.

Thx

So that it doesn't cover the video.
Full screen might be an issue, because arguably, the mouse is always over it.

I'm always very cautious with extensions that ask for data access on all websites.
Do you think it might make sense to limit to *youtube.com?

I rely on videospeed everyday (who has time for 1x?!), but I end up queueing videos longer than 10min to watch on my laptop.

Is there a way to get something like this working for iOS / Android? Hacks are fine for me, but it would be fun to build an app too.

For example, when viewing a video on YouTube, if I type some characters in the search box at the top of the YouTube webpage while the video is playing below it, if one of those characters are 'a', 's', or 'd', the keypress events of the extension get triggered, affecting the speed of the video.

The characters typed should be ignored when typed within an input text field.

When in full screen moving the cursor near the top edge of the video makes the title + social buttons bar appear over the extension controls, making them almost impossible to use.

Hi. Thank you very much for this excellent Chrome extension.

The very first time I tried to use the extension, I could neither use the shortcuts (pressing them had no effect), nor see the button at all. I thought something was wrong, and refreshed the page, but still nothing. I was going to uninstall the extension in disappointment. But something made me watch another video before uninstalling (just for the heck of it), and lo and behold, I do notice the button—but barely—hiding at the top left corner of the video! And it was a lucky shot, because that specific video just happened to have two thick black bars or borders at the right and left.

According to this experience, I strongly recommend some sort of slider or extra button that helps the user control the transparency / opacity of the button after they first notice it. Or even better, you can even update the extension so that the button shows up with an obvious color and no transparency / opacity, but as soon as the user hovers the mouse pointer over it, the button takes on a subtle color and gets becomes 50% or so transparent. Then the user can make it more visible again should they wish to do so.

Hi! I love this chrome extension very very much. :D

But speed bar that show on video is bothersome, it will be great if you can make it auto hide.

Thank you so much for this awesome extension!

Could that be implemented? Twitch is going the way of HTML5 and watching VODs in a higher speed would be very nice.

Hello there!

First of all I wish to say I LOVE your app :)

That said, I wish to know if you are aware of an issue that when using video speed controller the video freezes? (it freezes, unfreeze, freeze and unfreeze again and keep doing it) Tried reinstalling but didn't help.

Thank you very much and I'be very glad for your reply.
Take care!

Love your product! but its not working on Wistia Videos.

The controller overlay covers the whole video screen on hitbox.tv, obstructing all video controls.

I’m using more than one keyboard layout (English/Hebrew/Russian/Arabic), so when I search YouTube in one of the other languages, the shortcuts do not work.

If you could add additional alternative layout for each of the actions, it would be most helpful, I’ll then just add the equivalent to the A-S-D keystrokes on the other layouts.

Thank you!

I use this extension quite a bit to watch slow motion replays of baseball. After I have replayed the desired section in slow mode I always want to restore the speed, which requires me to press multiple times to get back to 1x. Would a PR be accepted to add a keyboard shortcut for the "r" key to restore to a hardcoded 1x speed?

Again, thank you very much for the best Chrome extension for playback speed today in the market!

It would be great if you get the extension to work on Facebook videos. Here is an example:
https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=839663199400851

I would like to see a feature where you can specify a default starting speed for every video. Since Youtube introduced higher speeds, I've been watching most videos at 1.25 or 1.5x so this would save a little bit of time in the beginning of every video. The 'remember playback speed' kind of works, but an overall default would be alot better.

Also I'd like to have an option for the speed indicator in the corner to be always visible when not in fullscreen. Like it used to be, before an update a while ago. Or maybe make it so that the speed indicator becomes visible when you change the speed with keyboard controls.

Title says it all.
Using the new player(https://www.youtube.com/testtube), the speed indicator doesnt go away when in fullscreen.
Just a minor annoyance

It seems the overlay disappears when the mouse isn't hovered over the video for a few seconds. This is fine but I want to be able to see what the speed is when I change the speed. The overlay should return briefly whenever the speed is changed so the user can see what the current speed setting is.

Pressing a steps back 10s but reduces speed by 10% points too.. is this intended behavior?

Create a exclusions website filter that tells the extension what websites not to run on. Kind of like adblock's version of it.

Thanks!

Could you add an option to keep showing the speed on full screen?
