Does the gain control automatically capture audio? about globalspeed HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello. Glad you find Global Speed helpful.

The Tab Capture API, which Global Speed uses to manipulate audio, requires the user invoke the extension for every tab. That's why it only works when you click the extension, or use a browser-level shortcut. Also won't work with a simple page shortcut.

Most convenient workaround is to set up a Capture shortcut key in options page and use it to activate for each tab.

Thank you for your reply!

Indeed, I have set up a shortcut to capture or activate the extension.
This is actually acceptable to me.

However, I previously used extensions like VolumeManager
which allowed me to control the volume of different pages directly through shortcuts.
This led me to have this question
wondering if Global Speed could also achieve this. If it can, this would be a huge help.

This plugin is not just helpful;
it can change how musicians learn and listen to audio, analyzing at different speeds.
Therefore, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to you again!

Best Wishes!

@Unimp0rtance Thanks! That means a lot.

There is an approach that doesn't require invocation, which is probably what VolumeManager is doing. They capture the audio directly from the video element or audio element. I have tried approach before, but gave up on it due to CORS issues on some sites. On 95% of websites, it worked great, but the other 5% had CORS issues. For that reason, I gravitated towards the Tab Capture API which has no issues on any site, but requires manual activation.

Thanks again!
