Expose Noisy Tabs

wost_ · Unread post by **wost_** » 2016-10-30, 14:52

This is an extension which exposes noisy tabs containing audio or video elements. It adds indicator icons for tabs with sound being played on their websites. Includes mute/unmute feature. Kind of inspired by this thread and adisib's script

.

More information and testing release here.

Seems to be working great! Looking forward to it being added to Addons page.

Actually, there is a problem with tab icon getting stuck sometimes. I'll try to fix all stupid issues before asking Tobin to get it on APMO.

Yes, I noticed it doesn't go away on page refresh.

interaction between different extensions managing the same browser element is always a risk of not working.

Some fixes and improvements have been applied. It should work now with Tab Mix Plus I think.

Actually, this one was my stupidness and lack of XUL knowledge, rather than real extensions conflict

Cool idea - working fine with Tab Utilities.

The last version 0.1.1 does not show up for me even on clean profile. PM 26.5.0 on Win 7 x86.

Maybe you have Flash activated? This only works with HTML5 media elements. It works fine for me here, on YouTube, Twitch, LiveLeak, Vimeo etc. If you have no Flash installed, then could you please give me a link to the website containing media you're trying it on? Maybe there is something requiring special treatment in there.

Flash is set to "never activate". Here's the link http://mp3party.net/music/66000 and http://zaycev.net/search.html?query_search=aguilera
The first version 0.0.1 worked fine for me (there was a conflict with TMP though).

Edit: oh yes, it works OK on test page and on Youtube, but not on those links i gave. Perhaps smth wrong with those sites, but they worked with the very first version.

Again something stupid done by me. But thanks to adisib's sober mind it should work now as before.

There are some websites where this extension misses dynamically loaded media content despite of DOM changes observation, but I didn't look deeply for a reason yet. Firefox's solution is based on something like a custom DOMMediaPlaying global event if I recall correctly, so it's reliable, but I don't think such a thing is available in PM codebase and have no idea how could this be provided to the core.

Great. Now it catches everything that plays)

It's really awesome that you started developing it.

Could someone send me an .xpi for it? I'm too stupid to compile it with Cygwin (I get a no build.sh command error).

The .xpi file is available under Releases tab.

Thank you! I'm still a total GitHub n00b.

The latest version seems to be detecting HTML5 media elements correctly, except for those not inserted into documents, like let audio = new Audio(); ... audio.play(); and Flash content. If I recall correctly, Noise Control for Firefox showed some unknown symbol for tabs containing Flash embedded elements. This isn't quite helpful. Not sure what to do with this. Additionally, selected tabs can be now muted/unmuted also with Ctrl+M keyboard shortcut.

I installed this yesterday. It doesn't seem to be working. When I play something at youtube in html5 there is no indicator in the tab, and I haven't gotten one on any site yet.

Perhaps another add-on is interfering?
