Description
Bug Report:
⚬ BUG: Time remaining no longer updates inside the player
⚬ HOW:
- Install both this githubs extension/addon and Enhancer for YouTube™ extension/addon
(Enhancer for YouTube™ website - https://www.mrfdev.com/enhancer-for-youtube) - Do not change any settings on Enhancer for YouTube™ extension/addon
- Allow "Show video remaining duration" and its child option "Show time remaining with reference to playback speed"
- Observe the YouTube player for either non-existing or no updating remaining time
More / optionally:
⚬ Screenshots: Not needed
/ ⚬ Expected /preferred behavior: The remaining time will update even though Enhancer for YouTube™ is installed.
Alternatively - Add a new way to set the playback speed and add a disclaimer that some features might not work while Enhancer for YouTube™ is installed.
- Reason:
- This extension/addon is great, but the above mentioned one allows me to speed up the video with a nifty "shortcut" for changing the playback speed i.e. While holding right mouse button + ctrl, I can change the playback speed by turning the mouse scroll wheel up for faster and down for slower playback speed. This feature is a deal breaker for me as it is very fast.
Plus this githubs extension/addon shortcuts "<" ">" do not work and do not overwrite the default youtubes playback speed control.
- The feature in this githubs extension/addon #1887 seems to be buggy, but on the above mentioned one it works flawlessly.
- The above mentioned extension/addon allows for way more granular way to disable background playback of other tabs.
⚬ Browser: Firefox 122.0 (64 bit)
⚬ Settings: Default settings except for the remaining time being set to true
⚬ OS: Windows 10
⚬ Device: PC - 64x

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Firefox 122 on Windows 10 with this extension and Enhancer for YouTube installed, enabling both remaining-duration settings. Start by observing the YouTube player while changing playback speed and determine whether the remaining time is missing or stops updating. Done means the remaining time updates with the other extension installed, or the incompatibility is clearly documented if that cannot be fixed.
