User reviews
▶ VERY useful extension - an immediate recommend to any online
video consumer , superuser , streamer or presenter ! Also, the
developer frequently updates and improves the extension, and is
responsive to feedback, so that's very cool ! Thanks to InzkDev
for all their hard work, considering supporting Patreon !
Some Notes;
▶ Automatic-detection-windowed-mode doesn't work with
embedded videos (but workaround with this extension
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sonic-retro-youtube-
embed/mmakllanpalljimoilopbacgblobjdjc )
▶ Video error occurs often on sites like earthcamtv.com, and only
black screen is displayed.
▶Interaction Zones don't work unless divided with whole integer
numbers. For Example a configuration with 5 columns, each with
a value of 2.4 (which equals 12), should, but doesn't work (nothing
happens when zones are clicked).
Some Requests;
▶ Would love the ability to trigger some kind of "audio-only
(blackout video) mode", for when listening to music and don't
want to spend the resources loading the video.
▶ Not sure if it's possible, but it'd be great if we could have controls
for video quality (raising, lowering, preferring lowest/highest et.)
I've been using this extension for quite some time, but I have only one issue: I use Linux, and the behavior regarding the right-click is different from Windows. On Windows, the context menu opens only when you release the right mouse button. On Linux, the menu opens as soon as you press the right mouse button, which causes a problem when using the right button as activation key. Currently, I need to make a click, which opens the context menu, and a second click and press to be able to perform gestures like scrolling the mouse. I even created a User script in Tampermonkey to prevent the context menu from opening when I right-click on the video element, but I believe this is something that can be directly addressed by the extension. This is my only request to make the extension perfect! Thank you for your work!
Absolutely amazing extension. Dev, I would love to replace the multiple extensions I have for different video functionality/capabilities with Video Dominator and as far as I can tell, the only function it's missing that I rely pretty heavily on is video bookmarking. Video Speed Controller allows for one bookmark (or as it refers to the functionality, set one marker and the ability to jump to said marker with a customizable hotkeys/shortcuts). Video Bookmark Controller is, just as the name suggests, essentially perfect for this functionality except for the fact that the extension itself is buggy and I can't figure out what the rhyme or reason dictating whether it will work or not, because it's not simply a matter of the video being HTML5. It also sometimes doesn't remember previously set bookmarks on subsequent visits, but honestly that's not the end of the world. Is there any room for such functionality in your view for Video Dominator? If it's outside the scope of your intent for this extension, please don't hesitate to say so. Regardless, it's an exceptional extension. Cheers & THANK YOU!
PS - it's more of a tacked on feature but another extension called "Transpose ▲▼ pitch ▹ speed ▹ loop for videos" also features multiple bookmarking functionality but as with Video Bookmark Controller, it's very hit or miss. If Video Speed Controller allowed for multiple markers, its implementation is the most reliable and seems to work on any HTML5 video whereas the others are very temperamental (I only mention these extensions by name so, in the event that you aren't opposed to adding such a function, you have reference points and possible code examples to work from ;-)
