Iridium: Page scrolling issues while trying to control volume when mouse is inside video player

Created on 27 Mar 2019 · 14Comments · Source: ParticleCore/Iridium

While the mouse is inside video player (even when not in full screen), when trying to change the volume the volume does change but the page also scrolls. This isn't such a problem for turning the volume up as there is no where to scroll above the top of the page - but there is more of an issue when trying to reduce the volume (i.e. scroll down). As once you scroll down after a certain point - and the page scrolls down as well - your mouse is no longer inside the video player so it cannot control the volume anymore.

Hopefully there can be a fix to prevent page scrolling while the mouse is inside the video player in a future update.

There was a recent change to wheel & mousewheel events. They are now passive by default.

Simple fix if you are using latest Userscript is to change #L3562 to
document.addEventListener("wheel", this.changeVolume.bind(this), {"passive": false});

Same as #693?

the original issue of 693 only talks about issues with scrolling in full screen. there might be a single fix to both of these issues but there also might be two different solutions to fix scrolling in full screen as well as in standard view.

By far this is the best script for youtube. with out it watching youtube is unbearable. Now, I wish somebody could jump in and fix it. this is by far the most helpful feature. The fix abode only deactivate it. any other ideas on how to fix it?

How do I do this if I install the addon through the chrome interface regularly?

Also here because of this. Does the suggested change fix the issue or just deactivate the sound control? If it helps, I'll dig into how to change the script manually. :)

this issue is incredibly frustrating. How do I fix it using the passive feature?

Is this able to be edited with Iridium downloaded through the chrome store and not directly through GitHub?
