Hi thanks!
1.Not sure about a volume slider - always saw this as avoidable for simplicity and UX.
2. You absolutely right. Its a must. Was to complicated so far... we'll see
yeah agreed, i have an in with some of the devs on this - the volume slider was a secondary feature and is on the list last time i heard, stay tuned (haha) for the next release,
The only small suggestion I'd make from a usability standpoint: make volume adjustments as the slider is being dragged instead of waiting until `mouseup`. It's always nicer to get immediate feedback when you're changing volume levels.
I used to be with you on the volume slider being redundant, but at least a few times lately, the more video editing I do, the more I find that I am constantly having multiple windows open, often playing things simultaneously, and wanting one thing to be significantly less loud than another.
Edit: also, the tracks that I’ve listened to are great! I’ll definitely be looking here for a future project. Thanks for doing this, and I wish you success in keeping it going and making it profitable!
In addition to other feedback in this thread, I'd also want the Volume icon to change: show muted state / volume level state without showing the slider. YouTube does this well.
Seems that, since the right volume to adjust is dependent on so many contextual variables, the right thing to do is to display two sliders, one for app & one for the system volume, and let the user adjust the appropriate one.
Sorry about that! It's a player made by Omny, my podcast host. But I'm unhappy with them for other reasons too, so I'll be switching away soon — self-hosting, and using the native media player. So your volume slider wishes will be fulfilled. Thank you for the request.
Don't forget, is it linear or logarithmic? It baffles me that it's 2017 and people who implement volume sliders never even consider that the obvious choice might not be the best...
2. Volume slider, not just control. I'm listening on headphones at my desk at the lowest volume on OSX and it is still too loud. If I try to go any lower the sound turns off.
It's simpler than that. It's an <input type="range"> element with a 'change' event listener, which is the most obvious way to implement a volume slider. The 'change' event fires on mouseup.
