Initial Volume in Videos - krinlyc - 01 Nov 2025

Hi Ra,

is it possible that you set the initial volume to say 30% or so?

Every single video starts at 100% volume. There are some videos here that were recorded at an incredibly high volume.

I'm deaf at the moment...

What is your computer/volume setting? If it's set to 50%, do videos overwrite it to 100%?

My Computer Windows Volume Setting is about 30% and no vids do not overwrite - das wäre ja auch noch besser -
I do wear headphones most of the time.

In other apps Spotify, youtube and such I have a preset which works quite nicely.

I see that it's from twitter. Can you drop a link to the post?

There is no volume preset in the HTML video tag:

Code:
<audio autoplay id="myaudio">

  <source src="http://lel.com/link/to/stream.m3u">

</audio>

<script>

  var audio = document.getElementById("myaudio");

  audio.volume = 0.2;

</script>

Maybe it does work for video too?

RE: Initial Volume in Videos - Like Ra - 04 Nov 2025

Aha! Great idea!
Possibly something like

Code:
var videos=document.getElementsByTagName("video");

for(let i = 0;i < videos.length; i++)

{

   videos[i].volume = 0.2;

}

Thanks to ChatGPT:

Code:
<script async type="text/javascript">

  document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {

    for (const video of document.querySelectorAll("video")) {

      video.volume = 0.2;

    }

  });

</script>

And a test:

Code:
document.querySelectorAll("video")[0].volume

Done! And it works!
