codesign2 / media-playback-speed Goto Github PK

First of all, it's a brilliant plugin thank you so much! I use it for my Guitar Practice Website to slow down exercises for students to play along with which is very powerful.

A bit of feedback I'm getting is that it would be handy for the currently selected speed to be highlighted on the player (maybe a coloured circle or bold writing?) - I had a look through your plugin description, and sorry my coding/Wordpress experience is very basic so I wasn't able to figure out if you already had documented how to do this, is it possible with the current plugin?

I've been able to edit the speed options to suit, using 60/70/80/90/100% as the buttons and they work really well, and the highlighted button would be the icing on the cake if possible, thank you!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use media-playback-speed for my drum teaching website. I need different speeds than the ones available

Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of speeds x.5 1x 1.5x 2x I would like something like this -> x.5 x.7 x.8 x.9 1x 1.1x 1.2x 1.5x 2.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I don't code and cannot find the perfect plugin except for youtube custom speed changer. Nor know how to change your plugin if possible.

Describe the bug

The Speed Control Buttons are not initially visible on screen. Hitting F5 will make them appear but if you hit F5 again, they disappear again.

I'm just looking for some assistance in debugging this problem. There are no obvious error messages written to the console.

this is not a show-stopper, but I wondered if you had encountered anything like this before and could give any advice on what to look for.

hello,
after the new update my audio Wordpress plugin stopped to work completely

Describe the bug

Only some of the videos that I put up on my website show the speed controls .. the majority of the videos don't show any speed controls

The Context

• WordPress Version: 5.9
• Other plugins: nothing that's worth mentioning
• Theme: Hello Elementor
• URL: https://www.drghadabadran.com

Expected behavior

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

This plugin main support asks relate to UI, and troubleshooting, without competent investigation, largely by freelancers or paid employees.

If the plugin were to bundle some gutenberg blocks or more admin pages, which use the same filters, to produce HTML; then perhaps it would be possible to provide a testing UI; that lets site owners and admins know if their configuration(s) are incompatible. In any case, most requests could be responded to, with a mandatory request for actual insight, and not:

"doesn't work, do you know why?".

Ideas:

• Gutenberg block that uses the PHP filters, to generate playback rate controls for a single element.
• Gutenberg block that uses the PHP filters, to generate playback rate controls for the entire page.
• Settings page to let site owners and admins know if their configuration(s) are incompatible.
  • Contextual guidance on fixing (stretch goal)

None of the above needs to fix walled garden style sites, where there are not public resources. While the plugin will never actively become hostile towards them, it is not a priority to fix or be free tech-support for would-be business founders.

Although inconsistent, hard to customize, and tucked away. HTML5 audio and video have support for playback speeds in most modern browsers. This is the future of how WordPress works also.

Google Chrome

Mozilla Firefox

When I started working on this plugin, fixing it up, this future was less certain. Browsers less developed...

This is an open question of "Does this plugin warrant maintaining?"

Website for my guitar students to practice, and the speed buttons are only appearing on about 60% of our pages on my phone (Google Pixel 5 Android Version 13 - the same result on Chrome/Firefox), but they seem to appear on just about every page on Chrome on my Laptop (HP Omen Windows 10 - Chrome), but I do often get requests that my students can't see the buttons on their PC's as well. Phone/Tablet is the most common use from my students where they can't see the speed buttons.

Long time user and lover of your plugin, you've helped me before (hugely appreciated) and I'm sorry to bug you again, but I'm a very basic user so I hope the below info is enough for you.

The Context

• WordPress Version - Just updated to 6.1.1
• Other plugins - Advanced editor tools, Black studio tiny widget, Auto Install free SSL (premium), duplicate page, page builder by Site Origin, really simple SSL, Site Origina widgets bundle, Ultimate member, Updraft plus (backup/restore), WP Fastest Cache (currently deactived), WP Rollback
• Theme - Ample
• https://www.essendonguitarpractice.com.au/ - you mentioned not to include username or password - but this is for what a student will see, not my login to edit the site: TestUser // TestUser

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Ideally on a mobile phone on Chrome browser, login with the above
2. Go to the page 'Intermediate 2' and scroll down to see any of the audio players and see if the speed buttons appear.
3. If the speed buttons appear - please try other pages using the menu at the top to test
4. If they don't - go to the 'Beginner 1' page - and they should appear there (they do for me).

Expected behavior

The buttons have not appeared for me on Intermediate 2 for the last few months (we've been on holidays so I haven't contacted you), and inconsistently appear on Intermediate 1 and fingerpicking pages as well.

Additional context

Again apologies for bugging you - it's a difficult problem to isolate as my students have various devices and browsers - but it seems that the same pages have the problem of the buttons not appearing - particularly Intermediate 2, and often Intermediate 1 (a lot of the levels are broken up into 2 actual pages because of a large amount of content on each one).

I've tried updating other plugins one at a time, and disabling them one at a time and it never seems to make a difference - I can't understand what I've done differently on different pages - except for initiailly using the 'duplicate page' plugin to create the 2nd half of each level on a separate page - but some of these have resulted in the buttons working fine, and some not.

I also just saw your other post about keeping this plugin alive - I can't find out how to have a speed button change on the default audio player in Wordpress? If this problem is too much work or you can't see the issue - would you have a link to an instructional page on adding the speed buttons using the default player? I only need it for audio - not video.

Thanks so much for your help - again this is such a massive important part of my site, so I appreciate any help at all!

Hi Lewis,

Still loving your plugin, makes my Guitar Practice website so powerful - I just wanted to ask if you know if there is a way around this.

Currently, if you press a speed (e.g. on my website I just have 60/70/80/90/100%), it highlights in red, then you press play, but it always still plays at the default speed (100%). After you've hit play the first time on a song, then the speed buttons do work (I just press the same speed button again).

I'm hoping there might be something I could change, so that each speed button will work prior to hitting play, if you know if this is possible at all?

Thanks very much! Kieran

I would suggest that one very simple thing that could be done to take this to the next level is to, instead of having the 4 buttons inline horizontally, to have just one icon instead (this makes the timebar larger and easier to navigate, especially on mobile!) and then that icon-click drops a vertical speed selection. Much like youtube. I think this could possibly be done just with CSS? Thanks you, excellent work so far!
