Facebook Video Controls

No longer works the same. Can't get it to automatically show the controls on every video. Can't set a standard volume level. The pictured "new version" doesn't show on my system.

You saved my ears! Edit: Down to 1 star from 5 stars The app is now requesting permission to read browsing history, why is that the case?

Darn thing resets the volume to max for every new loop and video. This has to be addressed before this is truly useful.

Reel volume does not stay fixed and have to change volume every time I open a reel. Please fix that. 2 stars for progress bar in reels, which I also need, but not as important as proper volume control.

this should work automatically not with me activating it each time it is required. EDIT: it does that now, thank you. But... clicking the video scrolls down to the next video instead of pausing it (as it does without the extension). The existing "pause" functionality should not be altered.

Not bad, it works, but the default is to show the controls "Using the context menu (right click)" but there is nothing there, so I just set it to automatically show (maybe I need to restart my browser or something? doesn't matter). What I would love is if hitting the F key would toggle full-screen like it does in almost every video player. In the newest Reels UI there already are video controls, so this plugin isn't really needed for that, but it hides the annoying video description and channel name and gives you a Full screen view, those are the real reasons to get it. The default audio thing is also not working for me, again, maybe I need to restart Chrome, again I don't care about it, but when the video ends and replays it mutes itself or goes to 100%, don't like that. EDTI: You can no longer go to the next or previous video in Full screen mode, well the audio from the next video plays but the video does not, so I dropped it down to 3 stars.

It was working great of fb, but I noticed today about half the reels/stories, it did not work. The Brave browser either couldn't or wouldn't load it for too many of them to be really useful anymore. <sad noises>

Works but covering the video information on the bottom of the video viewing area making it less useful

Does its job of showing the playback control but I think it bugs the option to scroll (left-click) to the next reel

It adds indeed a playback control bar after having made a right click and activate it but if you want to auto add those controls, the extension will ask you to read and change your data on the DB site which is a major security threat.

Ok the extension seems to work (somewhat) you need to learn that to select the playhead on the track's line you have to aim lower and not on the location where it's shown. It's also a bit of hit or miss at times, but aside from that it does a decent job. What's completely out of whack is the audio which NEVER remembers the value it's been set by the user and not only that... it resets multiple times to the same low and almost unhearable volume level for some reason. In long videos that gets frustrating real fast since every few seconds you'll have to set the volume higher over and over again. Maybe someone will catch and fix this issue. Not quite sure if it's fb resetting its value or something happening periodically on the fb extension. Update: When active it removes the 3 buttons on the side rate, share, comment, more option. So while you can speed up the videos (only perk at this point) can't do much else.
