good finally normalized
by igyy's daddy, 2024-06-10

I couldn't tell if it was working at first, but I watched several videos back to back with different volume levels and I could tell it did something. Where I noticed the most change was on quiet videos when an add would start playing that normally blasted my ears out, it bumped the level down significantly. I noticed when the video started back, it would take a second or two for it to catch up and normalize. Overall I am happy with how it works....beats getting blasted out by adds.

Warum hat die Erweiterung eine Downloadfunktion? Das hat nichts mit "YouTube Normalisierer" zu tun und gehört meiner Meinung nach in eine separate Erweiterung. Dazu ist das alles sehr undurchsichtig, da keine Angaben gemacht werden, wo der Quellcode der Erweiterung zu finden ist - man kann hier Daniel also nur vertrauen. Die Grundfunktion der ist leider nicht sehr gut - die Lautstärke "springt" konstant hin und her. Offenbar wird nicht die Lautstärke nur für den aktuellen Puffer berechnet - da es eine Downloadfunktion gibt, könnte man ggf. im Hintergrund das Audiofile laden und analysieren - zumindest am Desktop - um ein "springen" der Lautstärke zu vermeiden.
