Any YouTuber's out there?

Anak · 18 Nov 2018

A curiosity I've noticed with YT (YouTube).

If you go to any YT video and place your mouse cursor within a 1/2" of the top inner border and then scroll with the mouse wheel you'll see the area darken and a number appear, usually it's 100. If I scroll backwards with the wheel I can make the number lower to 0 and going forwards, back to 100. The "setting" only goes from 100 to 0 and back to 100.

A screen capture:

I was able to find by using the Firefox 63.0.3 Inspector in the web developer tools this nugget of information about the area:

I caught this screen capture when the setting was at "90".

So far I have searched for "enhancer-for-youtube-player-info" and found from this search: enhancer-for-youtube-player-info (google search) some technical information and hoped a member could "dumb" it down for me.

Do you have Enhancer for YouTube Extension installed?

Hi Edwin,

If you mean something like this: Enhancer for YouTube , no.

Hmmm...,

Well, that's what it is - volume indicator for Enhancer for YouTube

Yea, Hmmm...

~~Okay that makes it two for two that I have to read up on, this enhancer and the rez problem I have~~

...Waait a minute while I check my win7 desktop....Yep I do have it as a Firefox ext. over there. I guess I'm getting the two mixed up 'cause the volume bar shows over there but not here on my win10 laptop YT's, duh!

I read how you and quite a few others have multiple systems, and I wonder how you guys can keep everything straight, and here I'm having trouble with just two.
Well, I still have two things to bone up on and install that enhancer here on the laptop to keep things copacetic.

I'll mark this solved and if I come up with some tips for the enhancer I'll post 'em here.

Thanks for helping to jog my memory!
