Ublock Origin.
Youtube Control Panel. Hide comments and annoying channels. Tons of tweaks.
Boom. now you have that feature TODAY!
When ads get skipped with unlock my video card freaks out and the screen goes black for a moment. I can fix it in settings but I don't really understand the consequences of the fix and the problem crops up again every time my video card driver is updated. It's annoying.
1. Chrome (haven't tested it on other browsers) 2. Windows 10 3. GTX 1070 Going full screen or away from full screen while Ublock is on makes the screen flicker black, usually for a second sometimes for a few. Seems to flicker at times when an add would play. I can't recall the setting I changed (in the Nvidia settings) to make it stop because I'm not at that computer right now. Just updated my drivers and it started up again.
No standards at all for internet video. Know what I used for loudness before the CALM act? Know what I use for loudness post-CALM act? Do you... think these guys know what all that green shit means? Devac - Youtube doesn't change the volume. They don't actually change anything. It's that the advertisers know they can get your attention by running higher loudness. That's why they did it for decades. You being annoyed doesn't matter; they have your attention and any study you care to point to will demonstrate that "awareness" matters and "annoyance" is transitory. You'll remember that jingle long past the point where you remember you hate it. Even under CALM you can still tweak it, just not as much. You're a math nerd, D. Here's how LKFS is calculated. Broadcast level was originally a function of fitting maximum intelligibility in a signal that had to be broadcast dozens or hundreds of miles; Internet level is a function of not clipping it if you don't it to sound bad but that's too technically advanced for most people anyway so fukkit. By the way, this ad reduction isn't about you, the watcher. It's about the guys paying for the ads. Not common knowledge, but the way everybody counts "views" is different and what everybody charges is different. A Youtube video counts as a "play" if it autoplays for so much as a second, for example. Meanwhile, the amount Google gets to charge per ad goes down every year because frankly, advertisers are sick of their shit. So P&G, and probably everybody else soon, has decided they're no longer paying Google and Facebook and anybody else unless they fucking adhere to metrics that aren't crazy bullshit.

I no speaky HTML5. I assume this is a script that would detect an ad by its element and then knock the playback volume down by 50%? That definitely puts you at the mercy of Youtube throwing up a "by the way this is a commercial" flag in the stream. On the other hand, writing a Chrome plugin or the like that grabs the audio stream and knocks the playback volume down proportionally based on excursions from LKFS would make you 100% content independent.
