Thanks.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I prefer to click on my videos to pause/unpause them, especially when switching to the browser from a different application. Having to click on the browser, and then double click (or press space) to pause/unpause isn't as quick as I'd like.

Additionally, I always like to have my cursor on the screen, and I prefer that the cursor disappears after a few seconds of cursor inactivity, and for it to show back up when I move the cursor. The fact that the cursor is hidden when I click once on the video player is disorienting since I have to search for my cursor again when I want to move it out of the video frame.

Describe the solution you'd like
An option in the settings panel to manage these scenarios. One for clicks to pause/unpause (current default is 2, have it a dropdown or a number box), and another one for "cursor hiding conditions" (with the options of "one click", "[number] seconds of inactivity", etc).

Describe alternatives you've considered
I could just get used to it but it would be a nice feature for general accessibility :)

Additional context
Self explanatory I hope?

Problema: When watching videos(mainly youtube or similar) sometimes there are annoying adds (like raid shadow legends)

Describe the solution you'd like
I was wandering if it would be possible to integrate something like sponsor block to skip this adds, I know this only works for youtube but maybe could be extended to work on other sites? Or maybe just have the feature for youtube

Describe alternatives you've considered
Skipping by 10 seconds steps until the add finishes, but not to great

Additional context
In this extension you can personalize which types of adds to skip automatically and which to prompt for skipping, maybe have something similar? If not I'd prefer always asking just in case

I would like an option to change the default volume.
Please consider.

Video not detected

Version

The video isn't detected

First of all, thank you very much for this beautiful extension!

Describe the bug
I've already set it to pick up automatically by entering the url, but it still doesn't work

Version
1.2.15

Platform
Vivaldi

Steps to Reproduce
Please tell us how to reproduce the issue. A URL to a specific video is encouraged.

Please create a git tag for every release.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Youtube usually places chapters along the video timeline if the description contains timestamps and chapter names.

Describe the solution you'd like
For FastStream to be able to locate these chapters and input them within the timeline.

Additional context

it's 100% by default. i am deaf now. i dont want others to be deaf too. I missed the audio config option. Also if possible, maybe add sponsoreblock support. The extension is working great for me.

with current system, the user need to add the URL say https://youtube.com/ to the Auto-enable URLs for automatically enabling the extension without using the toggle.

but having an intermediate function that adds the URL directly to the Auto-enable URLs box when toggling the extension on it's 1st time on that particular URL. with further toggles can be made on that site to temporarily switch the default player would be nice.

1. most of the tab/page has dark theme support like the subtitle, audio config, source browser; but the settings page doesn't support it currently as you can see in the below screenshots.

2. second one is that if you see the screenshot no. 1, the close (red) button is little offset and not perfect. it would nice to it fixed. although the other page like source browser has it, since the settings page is separated with the title bar and is two-toned, this can be easily visible. (also a little bigger (like couple px extra) would also nice.)

Screenshot

1. within player

4. within extension page

Describe the bug
As you can see in the clip, the video gets skipped to next video once the FastStream starts to load the content video in the playlist.
I haven't checked the other sites like dailymotion or etc, for this issue,

Hi,

Is it possible to have this?

Thanks.

I usually have my system volume high and decrease the volume acrodingly, with this extension I have to lower the volume every time I open a new video

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to set a default volume, maybe this could be done by domain, since volume might be different between streaming sites.
If done this way I guess some way of implementing it is saving the current volume into memory when the player is closed or smth similar. If it is not per domain I would still like to not get into extension's settings and have it being automatically persistant (if possible, ofc)

Describe the bug
The bug is simple: the faststream player is playing the video (only tested on youtube) and the original audio is still playing in the background. This happens both if I enable faststream manually and if I have it set to automaticly active on youtube.com.
For this bug specifically I found that sometimes an ad plays in the background of faststream and sometimes its the original youtube player with the video I want to watch.
Before installing faststream I had a custom script that blocked youtube ads. In the description of faststream it says that its player also stops ads on youtube. For this bug in specific I found that regardless if the script is active in the background or not, there are still sometimes ads that play in the background audio (instead of the original video playing in the background).
Im not sure if the entire video is played in the background or if it is an audio issue.
For testing I made sure to disable all addons that could interfere with faststream but the bug occured for the last 2 days not.

Version
v1.2.4

Platform
Firefox 115.5.0esr (64-bit)

Steps to Reproduce
happened to me about every second video or more. I can provide a screenrecording or similar if needed but I havent found a consistent way of reproducing this issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
current functionality: for example with the subtitle menu, the user needs to toggle the cc button to open and close the menu.

Describe the solution you'd like
expected functionality: exiting/closing the menu by clicking anywhere outside similar to other players like html5, for example how youtube default player functions.

I used youtube for this, but essentially I click on extension and it doesnt find the source. Where as on chromium browser it does.

Describe the solution you'd like
2 Suggestions:

1. Pause/un-pause video with mouse click
   Right now it looks like the video will start playing, upon load, with a mouse click on the video. I'd love to see the video pause and un-pause when you click anywhere on the video after the initial start of playback. Just like pressing the spacebar does now.

2. When video controls auto-hide, have the video progress show at the bottom at 1-2 pixels tall
   When the video begins playing, or during mouse hover, the controls automatically show, including a progress bar of video played and buffered. It would be great that when the video controls auto-hide, that progress bar is shown at the bottom of the video, but not as tall as the shown video controls height. Maybe only 1-2 pixels. That way it's easy to glance at the video and find out how much of the video you've seen and how much might be left.

Thanks for a great extension!

Many video players offer the ability to use the scroll wheel to control volume this makes it very easily to quickly adjust volume on the fly.

Describe the solution you'd like
A option in the settings to enable using the scroll wheel to control volume or being able to assign mouse shortcuts as key binds.
If adding it as an individual feature as opposed to a key bind change, it may be useful to handle it like many other extensions do and provide an option that makes it such that the scroll volume only works when left or right click is held.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Attempting to rebind Volume Up/Down to mouse scroll from the settings panel.

Additional context
Some example programs of the feature in action:

• YouTube Enhancer (Extension)
• MPV (Video Player)

Hi, May i know where to download the Web Version Source Code?
How to install the web version?

Describe the bug
When playing a youtube video, arrow buttons are eaten by volume and skipping

Version
v1.2.7.1

Platform
Firefox

Steps to Reproduce
I tested this on a brand new profile, so nothing else should interfere
open a youtube video, click on anywhere which isn't video and not link, for example comment text, and try using up and down arrows to navigate.
Instead of scrolling the video player takes the keypresses as controls.

Describe the bug
This has been happening at least since 1.2.4, when I install the extension it works well until I restart, when it stops working and the video keeps loading forever.
I fix this in one of two ways:

• Reinstalling the extension
• Disabling and reenabling the extension

Version
1.2.8

Platform
Brave

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download extension and see it working
2. Power cycle the computer (It once resisted 2 restarts)
3. Try to watch any video again

Describe the bug
Misaligned video or duplicate controls.

Version
FastStream V1.2.12

Platform
Firefox

Steps to Reproduce
Sample page: animesaturn.tv/watch?file=hc6G2-Xth9yC-

If I play the video first then enable FastStream then there are duplicate play/pause controls;
instead if I enable FastStream before playing the video then the video bevome misaligned.

Describe the bug
The subtitle in the video isnt showing in the PiP window. Instead it's showing in the main video frame

Version
1.2.11

Platform
Chrome

Steps to Reproduce
Hit PiP on a video with subtitles on.

Image:

This was in fmoviesz dot to.
Thanks for the awesome extension :D

1. in case of YouTube, I just remembered that the Jump to next video button on default YT player is not available in FastStream.
   if possible, i would really like to see it coming.

2. since most of the web player has the say, -/+ 10 sec button but it's not available in the FastStream. if feasible, please add an option in settings to customize the skip time.

Hi,
really loving this project. So far I have not been able to enable it so that once I open a yt video it loads using fastsream. How do I do that.
Also is it possible to set a default resolution?
Best regards
Kilian

every time i turn on the extension the player on the sited goes black nothing seen but if you hit the play button before it goes black you hear sound and the video doesn't return when the extension is turned off only returns a webpage refresh

Describe the bug
Weird name for the subtitle track

Version
FastStream V1.2.15

Platform
Firefox

Steps to Reproduce
Sample link: drivejwplayer.xyz/embed/t5kwvgsw4rhqn-b?alt=7268
It has a weird name for the subtitle track; it would be nice if it can display the language of the subtitles.

PS: Since it actually has both hardsub and softsub it would also be nice if possible to have an option to move the softsub vertically to avoid displaying them over the hardsub.

current drawback of the FastStream is that, the video can only played/paused by using the spacebar or the clicking over the play/pause button.
the standard tap anywhere on the video player to play/pause them doesn't work.

I would like to see this be added or fixed with the extension.

Describe the bug
Does not play videos with multiple audio tracks on YouTube. For example, videos from Mr. Beast channel are not playing.

Version
FastStream 1.2.4

Platform
browser Edge 119.0.2151.72 64-bit

Screenshot

Describe the bug
FastStream does not work for post-live-DVR videos on youtube.
Version
v1.2.8
Platform
Chrome
Steps to Reproduce
Go to an archived live video, enable the fast stream extension, and view the logs. I've attached mine below using the example link provided: extension.log.
Feedback
This is a wonderful extension, keep up the great work!

Hi Andrew,

FS 1.1.18 on Firefox Portable 119.0

I would like to ask for some new features please:

New FS Options:

1. If browser has the download option "always ask where to save files" enabled, Bypass this Browser Dialog and download immediately to downloads folder.
2. Download speed limit (Global/Total for all files currently been downloaded by FS only).

New FS Features:

1. FS Save As dialog will provide two names (both editable fields) for the user to select one: a)movie file Name b)page title.
2. If Firefox internal download manager fails to save the file, inform user and keep the 100% buffered data until user close the Tab (probably user will try to save again, so do not download all data again).
3. While a save as/downloading procedure is running, a Tab-close event will Warn user and allow to cancel the close and continue the procedure.
4. Left mouse click on video frame will toggle Play/Pause.

PS
FS 1.1.18 is working very good on Firefox - Looking for the same fixes for Chrome.

Thanks
Best Regards

It would be great if this extension had Safari support

Describe the solution you'd like
Yea

Describe alternatives you've considered
I really don't like Chrome and Firefox.

Describe the bug
When I try to watch videos on https://www.crunchyroll.com/ the player keeps loading indefinitely, I first thought it was because it might be DRM protected content, but I don't get any error message, it just keeps on loading

Version
1.2.8

Platform
Brave

Steps to Reproduce
1-Go to any video on crunchyroll for example: https://www.crunchyroll.com/es/watch/G69XGG44R/ryomen-sukuna
2-Enable the extension

In Arc

Arc has an "Enable Picture in Picture when you leave a video tab" feature, it's very handy. But now FastStream behavior is such that when you switch tabs, pip not only does not appear, but switches from pip back to player.

Describe the bug
When a default speed is set although player shows the speed is set at the asked speed the actual playback speed is still x1 until I change it manually.
I've seen this happen only on youtube.

Example in video below

Version
1.2.8

Platform
Brave

Steps to Reproduce
Set default playback speed to the desired speed.
Play youtube videos after

Describe the bug
Empty player (no source loaded)

Version
FastStream V1.2.13

Platform
Firefox

Steps to Reproduce
Sample: vidhidepro.com/v/y77gqfpck5fu
When FastStream is enabled it exit from the site and just display an empy player (without loading any source) on moz-extension://...

Describe the bug
When opening a youtube video with the player it is significantly slower.
You can see it in this screen recording:

1.2.4

Platform
Brave

Steps to Reproduce
Open a random video you've never watched with and without the extension

Describe the bug
Video not detected

Version
FastStream V1.2.12

Platform
Firefox

Steps to Reproduce
Sample link: ok.ru/video/7803363133968
The video isn't detected so FastStream do not work at all on the sample link provided.

is there a app/tool or website which can help in converting the URL string to regex?

since the extension caches the video to avoid buffering, does the cache gets removed automatically once the webpage or browser is closed?

or does it perform differently?

Hello, i'd like to suggest some configuration options I currently use on youtube, either as a youtube feature or from Enhancer for YouTube™.

• Allow pause with a single click on the player
• Have more reproducion speeds, with at least up to x5 speed
• Set a default reproduction speed other than x1
• Allow to change reproduction speed with control+scrolwheel and/or a keybind
• Allow to enter fullscreen by double clicking
• Option to enable autoplay when player launches

Hi Andrew,

Browser: Firefox 119.0.0 portable (running from HDD)
FastStream Video Player: 1.1.17.0

• This version is very good.
• The first time i tried to download a movie, using this version, it failed because Firefox portable running from a usb drive had not enough free space to save the temporary data! (i know that firefox cannot stream files directly to the downloads folder and must use IndexedDB in profile folder that is in my usb drive)
• Running Firefox portable from HDD, i successfully download 5 movies from different sites. The total download time is identical to Edge's extension (FS 1.1.17.0), CPU load and RAM are normal too !

Ηowever, it failed to download next movie (the player is working good)
Movie page: https://www.megatv.com/tvshows/1228829/epeisodio-33-42/
I press FS Download button + Confirm save as name + ok > Alert: Failed to save video! Would you like to archive... console-export-2023-11-3_14-17-21.txt

Thank you

either on YouTube or some other streaming site, when enabling the FastStream makes the player appear as paused.

i would really like to see that it autoplays the video on enabling the extension.
