Ex- Script

This is a Chrome extension to create multiple loops for YouTube videos.

Intro

Practicing with a metronome is boring. For this reason, this extension facilitates practicing different sections of a video according to a set of defined loops. There are sites, apps, and extensions that allow the user to loop a portion of a YouTube video, or repeat nonstop. The advantage of this extension is that it allows the user to stay within the YouTube site and loop multiple portions of a video automatically. This allows the user to focus on practicing their instrument at various speeds without having to manually restart the video at specific points.

Young Guitar Magazine inspired the development and naming of this extension. They provide demonstration videos with breakdowns of solos and phrases at various speeds. Each exercise begins with an Ex-# label.

Instructions

Click the add button to define a loop. The users fills-out the start and finish time in addition to the number of times to repeat and the playback rate. The checkbox disables a loop.

Buttons:

• play/pause: play or pause the video
• run: run the current set of loops with checked checkboxes
• cancel: cancel the currently running script
• save: save the current script
• add: add a new loop
• remove: remove the current set of loops with checked checkboxes
• check: a menu appears to check or uncheck all loops or invert them
• help: takes the user to this page

Note:

• The user may specify times in the HH:MM:SS, MM:SS, and :SS formats or simply enter the number of seconds.
• The user is unable to edit the loops when the script is running. Cancel the run first in order to edit the loops.
• Save the script so that the defined loops re-appear after closing the popup or navigating away from the page.
• The user is able to reorder the loops by dragging.
• This project started as a scripting language, so that is why the word "script" appears in the name.

Note

This is a work in progress so your feedback is much appreciated, thank you!
