Feature Request: PiP Scrub, volume, and previous/next controls
| SHORT Table | (Summary) |
|---|---|
| Problem | I would like to be able to control the video while not on the browser tab. It frustrates me when I have to stop what I'm doing and return to the browser to go back a few seconds or go to the next video. |
| Solution | Adding scrubbing volume, and previous / next controls would allow me to do that. |
| Scope | Would benefit anyone who uses PiP. I downloaded this extension only for PiP. |
hi & thanks! @Chaseos
context:
-
our shortcuts allowing single keys are only for the active tab
- we can allow global ones too and we can use chrome://extensions/shortcuts too #1565
- (both of which will work without PiP)
- we can allow global ones too and we can use chrome://extensions/shortcuts too #1565
-
we have a feature mixer (currently hidden behind the "⋮"), where you can control the volume of videos playing in the background.
- chrome added similar some years ago in the top right called "control your music, videos and more"
- we can check the chrome PiP API more to see if we can add short cuts for it or if we require pull request to the browser/s
- chrome added similar some years ago in the top right called "control your music, videos and more"
I think the best options here (in my opinion) would be:
- The controls get overlayed on the video when hovering, like the site does
- The controls are in a separate area, below the PiP video
- The controls are shown when you click the extension button at the top
- The controls get overlayed on the video when hovering, like the site does
PIP is internal Chrome implementation. Afaik cant overlay anything on PIP, its a magic non existent window.
- The controls are in a separate area, below the PiP video
afaik cant glue anything to magic PIP window either.
- The controls are shown when you click the extension button at the top
those would not work outside of YT tabs, only chrome://extensions/shortcuts work globally
