Description

Concise Description

Im using Volume at 280 for compensate over low volume music videos ("Forced Volume" setting).. so i put the video volume slider on half at start to prevent huge volume output if video has high volume.

Problem: every time i start a new video the volume slider goes to max automatically.

It seems that the custom "Forced" volume control on this extension its not working independently of the videos volume slider, so if i put it beyond of 100% then it always puts the slider to the max..

It shouldnt work that way. I dont know if its a bug or what. But it shouldn't.

If you set your video volume slider on half then next time you open a new video it should remain on that position, no matter what is your custom volume level on this extension.
