[Feature Request] Add "Reset speed" button

Open ShawkMusic opened this issue 1 year ago • 9 comments

A button in between the "speed up" and "slow down" buttons that resets the speed back to 1. It could also change the speed by hovering over it and scrolling. Ideally, this button should also show what the current speed of the video is.

Here's an example mockup: image

It would also be nice to reset the speed quickly and easily by clicking the left mouse button while holding the scroll wheel speed control modifier key (Alt, Ctrl, or Shift)

@ShawkMusic Thanks for suggesting

+1 I might add that it would be nice to reset the speed to the Player speed set in the extension options. e.g. I have the speed usually at 1.5, sometimes I want to increase the speed to fly through the video and when an interesting part comes, I want to reset it with a click on the button to the default 1.5

I will look into implementing this

i'd rather add some motion like double clicking the speed button to reset the speed depending on what it is now: if speed < 1 and you double click speed up, it's going to bring it back to 1, and if it's >= 1, double click will bring speed to 4 (or whatever you set as a max speed) same with speed down, if speed < 1 double click will bring it to 0.25, and if it's > 1 it'll reset it back to 1

really not in favor of adding another button as it's going to look clogged especially if there's another button(s) already present

What if I want to quickly set the speed to a specific high number? I have to wait for the double click cooldown between every single click?

Also, having the functionality behind a button that changes based on the situation instead of just having one simple, reliable button that always does the same thing the same way. Seems kinda confusing and not great UX.

Every other button can already be toggled on and off in the addon's settings. We can make the Reset Speed button toggleable as well.

Also, I put the buttons on the left side just for the mockup just because that's where it is by default, but I usually put it on the right side and I notice it looks a lot better there.

that would do, sure, i misunderstood your suggestion a bit and thought that reset speed should be with playback speed buttons together as a single feature

@livingflore can you work on implementing this?

Glad to see this feature is being worked on. This will complete my needs for Youtube enhancements!
