Delayed muting & unmuting

Fyrelite opened this issue · 4 comments

Whenever an ad plays, occasionally it works properly and mutes the ad, but most of the time for me there is a 1 to 5 second delay before the ad is muted, and a similar delay before the audio is unmuted. Sometimes it fails to mute an ad completely and I have to restart it from the terminal to get it working again.

If you're using an older os version (catalina and before) the delay can happen because of how the script works. There's nothing else I can do right now to prevent that.

If you're not using a catalina or a previous version, please let me know what version you're using so I can test it with that specific version.

You can run this command on the console to find out the version:
defaults read loginwindow SystemVersionStampAsString

About some ads not being muted at all, that's a know issue because some of the ads (a very low % in my experience) doesn't work in the same way as the majority of them, so it becomes imposible to detect them in the current design.

Closing ticket due to lack of response

It can't be done with the current method, sorry.
