“Skip Silence” is a browser extension that allows you to autmatically skip parts of a video that are silent.
It is highly inspired by CaryKH’s automatic on-the-fly video editing tool (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ8orIurGxw).
The extension works with most websites that use a HTML5 video or audio element to play, this includes YouTube and Instagram.
The full source code of this extension is available on https://github.com/vantezzen/skip-silence, if you find any issues or have a question please visit https://github.com/vantezzen/skip-silence/issues.
This extension needs the following permissions:
– “activeTab” => Access the currently active tab to monitor the video or audio source’s volume and speed up and slow down.
– “storage” => The extension saves the settings you set using the browser storage
We do not collect or save any usage or other data about the users of this extension.
Great extension! Thank you so much.
The better you make it, the better it gets!
one of the best extensions for chrome
I love it! Great idea, great design, super useful!
Thx for making it open source!
excellent product.
but its not working for ms teams, all my lectures are in ms teams
It helps me a lot, I don’t want to sleep in my lectures! Thank you a lot!
The next era of skipping include skipping of the parasite-word and mmmmmm, aaaaaaa sound))))
Working great with video speed controller, tons of time is saved 🙂
Perfect except it turns off the silent parts’ audio, I wish it just sped up and not mute
Edit: I’m a dum dum and this was an option right in front of me
This extension is so good! I am missing some functionality from VLC player like skipping 5 seconds forward and backward with a keypress, but this extension is so much better than VLC for long lectures.
Thank you, it saves so much time
It’s good, but it overrides the default playback speed. I use another extension to control the speed of videos and it would be great to use current video playback speed instead of the dropdown.
Edit: from 5⭐ to 2⭐. This extension breaks features of various websites that have nothing to do with video.
worked and then is silent nonstop all of a sudden
A gift to humanity. Thank you.
great so far! just one suggestion, I am trying to watch recordings from a Zoom lecture, and the extension does not see any video. Thats is. besides for that it is good
Is awesome! really a smart vision.
One of the best extensions in the world. Open source and actively developing. Can’t wait for the new version with cross-site settings storage and speed changing hotkeys to get rid of competing extensions.
The only severe bug is spontaneous audio/video desync for some long videos. May be caused by player bugs, time base differences etc.
Been using this for quite a while and it has worked great. However since the last update yesterday (November 3rd) it doesnt load properly initially and makes you refresh the page to get it to work. It also doesnt save your set speeds anymore so you have to change the speed each time you click it to run which is a mild inconvenience.
It is like magic.
It is great, as I was looking for this sort of thing. However, there are a number of things that could make it even better. 1. Allow a separate options menu, 2. The ability to save at least one (though preferably five) profile(s), 3. The ability to have it on constantly instead of having to turn it back on with each new thing you watch, 4. More specific control of the playback speed much like how the video speed controller extension works, 5. Shortcut keys
This extension will save my life
Why did I have to find this AFTER a term of online classes??? This is absolutely brilliant and you should be proud of yourself!
Wonderful! I was planning on making something similar (inspired by the same video) but never found the time. This exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!
It is wonderful to find a tool like this. Just wanna adjust the lvl of audio ’cause some classes were too silent for the tool to detect 🙁
marvelous bro!
excellent work
It gets 5 from me just for existing.
Finally somebody wrote this extension! Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you :)))
