Remove our text <input></input> limits (Max playback speed or max volume need not be limited)
Bug Report:
⚬ BUG: Max playback speed is limited by 2.75. I'm using 3-3.5x, would be good to restore the limit to the previous 4x ⚬ HOW: Settings -> Player -> Playback speed (the max value of the slider is 2.75)
⚬ Fix: Should be fixable just by changing the value "2.77" back to 4 here
hi! @klimchd beyond 2.77 doesnt sound healthy! / dont want to feel involved with that. / What about using the input field for experiments
@ImprovedTube I was using 3+x for years and everything fine, no worries! :)
Currently the input field also limited by 2.75 (auto corrects to this value). I would be happy to use only the input, no need to extend the slider. Probably, not that many people use such high speed, but it doesn't hurt anyone to have this option accessible.

tbh default max is 2.75 but u can easly expand that with shortcuts!
@Anoaxx Thanks for the tip! I can at least use the shortcuts for now. But it works only for current video, it's nice to have the default speed for any video.
so it overwrote your current setting? @klimchd can be max. 3.5 for now, just for you :D
tbh
my bad, thinking you can enter any number. We can fix our text inputs already. And then ask again whats a reasonable max. for the slider for most users?
@ImprovedTube I will be happy if the input would accept any number, thank you!
Also fixed it for now in my local copy of the extension. Of course it will be overwritten with the next update.
bump!
hi, @klimchd (sorry for the further delay.)
Did you still feel patronized by the 3.17 or fair-enough? 🤣 i'm not yet intentionally taking many big opportunities to push moderation. Just wondering if maybe this one was worth the 2 negative reviews so far (if that's all on the downside.) So you may participate in today's definition of speed-watching.
(Unless you guys already have a global ladder, like sports and medical long term studies.)

Thanks for the reply! 3.17 is better, enough as a default. Usually, bumping it up by 0.25-0.5 using the hotkeys. Still, would be nice to be able to set it with UI, no pressure, of course :)
I notice another issue with speed not applied properly: the speed setting of the extension is not applied and video plays with YouTube default (i.e. 2.0x). It occurs randomly and usually fixed with page reload (sometimes it takes several times). The hotkeys also change speed only up to 2.0. It feels like some part of the script is not loaded/executed. Pretty sure such issue already exists in the backlog.

how often? please check F12 > console then,
and can you tell since when? (x month?)
maybe sometimes only youtube's settings are available and the universal way to set speed for the HTMLMediaElement fails? also
(sometimes it takes several times).
so it is rare but sticky?
youtube might remembers the speed per video? (when set manually?) Our function tries to respects that assuming, that any speed that is already there was set manually.
@ImprovedTube It feels like the issue was here forever. Sometimes it appear less frequently, sometimes more. I think at least 6-12 months.
When issue appears, pressing the speedup hotkey will result in "2x" at the top-center
Normally, the speed changed with the extension shows in the top-right corner:
Tried to reproduce it:
- usually it happens only when video opens for the first time. reloading the page usually fixes it
- after reloading the page with "fixed" video the issue will not appear again
- two screenshots of the console. the top one doesn't have the issue (and it says about manually set speed to 2)
the bottom console shows the issue. the error "requestStorageAccessFor: Permission denied." always shows up in the console
- bonus issue! well, not really an issue, just an exception thrown when setting speed higher than 16 with hotkeys. the same standard "2x" label appears at the center (though the speed still at 16x)

thanks!
and it says about manually set speed to 2
which wasn't true and played at your 3x?
I think at least 6-12 months.
can remember more?
- early 2023: checking whats music or not
- 6 month ago: using invidious api for that at need & https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues/1856
- jan 2024: request to speed up music in the 1st second already (and undoing maybe)
- (least confident about the latest change)
the same standard "2x" label appears at the center (though the speed still at 16x)
👍 (btw🤫Not all browsers have the limit of 16x)
- (how often?)
Looks like the reload fixes it every time.
which wasn't true and played at your 3x?
No, it seems to be playing at 2x. But I can change it by slider in the extension popup to 3x and then the hotkeys value 2x is invalid.
can remember more?
No, sorry. I think speed up was broken completely (probably even sereral times) and after the fix it started working somewhat unreliably. But I really can't remember the timeline.
It's the same issue with hotkeys not working as https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues/2166
I notice two issues with default hotkeys:
-
The default hotkeys for speed are < and >
That's contradicts to the default YouTube hotkeys Shift+> for increase and Shift+< for decrease.
-
I can't trigger the default hotkeys < and > (without Shift), on my keyboard/layout it would be , and . Is there a popular layout that allows to enter < > without Shift?
the same standard "2x" label appears at the center (though the speed still at 16x)
👍 (btw🤫Not all browsers have the limit of 16x)
Tested Chrome, Opera and Edge the limit is 16 on these. It showing "2x" label just because I had the same shortcut as default YouTube (i.e. Shift+>). So when the extension fails to process the shorcut, the default YouTube takes over and processes it showing "2x".
hi! @klimchd, thanks frequency of the bug will be good to know still.
( Unfortunately the error doesn't refer to our scripts, but youtube's )
hopefully it will can be fixed when we re-evaluated the timing of some of our functions. while other bug report are even harder to imagine: https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues/2175
Is there a popular layout that allows to enter < > without Shift?
QWERTY
16
firefox is unlimited😅
What happened to the max speed? I swear it used to do 4x, maybe even faster. Now it's limited to only 3.17x? I usually just stick to 2x for most content, but some content is extremely slow (not timelapsed at all, and it's of a build of stuff, so I'd much prefer crank it faster).
About a month ago I switched to another extension purely for speed control. It has one huge benefit - works on every video, not only Youtube. Of course, using ImprovedTube for layout and other stuff.
