Google Meet has been a huge laptop battery drain for me due to the VP9 codecs, so I thought this could change things for the better. And it did. It's a much better experience for machines without hardware VP9 decoders like Macbooks.

@erkserkserks please consider merging and publishing this to the store.

Added:

HTML5 test to see if this changes anything (it does)
Google Meet to try and save battery

Can this be merged ? Any way we can help @erkserkserks ?

erkserkserks commented 3 years ago

Hi there, apologies for the delay. I'd like to keep this extension focused on Youtube for the time being. Due to various life things, I don't have the bandwidth to support new development. Please feel free to fork this extension.

@egorf I tried your modification but it doesn't seems to work. did you check somehow if it really uses the h264 in google meet? media tab in dev tools?

egorf commented 3 years ago

@erkserkserks I see, no problem. I think the right solution would be to make this list editable by the user anyway. Would you consider merging that kind of change?

@Neonchen Did you use my fork for testing? I sideloaded that into my Chrome as a dev extension and it did work. The easiest way to check is by visiting html5test.com (that's exactly why I added that). You may have also needed to restart the browser for the settings to take effect. In practice, I could tell the extension was working when my MacBook did not overheat and start the fan during a long meet call.
