Volume Booster in the player #2186

Closed GET100PERCENT closed 1 year ago

Describe your suggested feature

Some of the YouTube videos have a very low intensity sound. So it will be very useful if libretube supports volume Booster just like VLC, in which volume can be boosted upto 200%.

Why I don't think it should be added to the app:

  1. I doubt it would be used a lot as the uses cases are only very few
  2. It decreases the quality of the audio, hence it wouldn't be too useful anyways
  3. There's currently really no space for new controls anywhere at the player. I'd recommend using a 3rd party app instead which should work fine too.

Unfortunatelly no. YouTube videos diverge a lot. The most troublesome in the wild are videos of old live conferences recorded with awful crappy sound. :-(

Nope if you turn it on for volumes >100%

No need for that. Please take a look how it's done in VLC. It's a masterpiece.

Mostly very uncomfortable. Using 2 apps in the situation is a bad user experience. Please re-triage. And yes, thanks a lot for the app. It is really close to perfect and best in its class.
