Volume range seems logarithmic, and a precise-volume bug

[francislavoie]

Kinda strange, changing the volume anywhere between ~35-100% seems to do nothing, but the volume levels between 0-35% are basically the full range. So changing the volume from 100% to 50% does basically nothing.

This behaviour is very different from https://github.com/ytmdesktop/ytmdesktop which more gradually changes volume.

Didn't feel like making a separate issue for this, but the precise-volume plugin (which I enabled to see if it would make any difference to the volume range mentioned above -- it doesn't) has a problem with the "Set Custom Volume Steps" dialog window; it flickers into view for one frame, then automatically closes before I can interact with it. This is on Windows 10. Other dialog windows like the one from the shortcuts plugin opens up fine though. I was able to change the steps via the config.json file so it's not too big a deal for me.

Wild guess from looking at the code and comparing shortcuts to precise-volume, is it because there's no defined height?

Thank you for this report! this actually happened because of a bug in the custom-electron-prompt library which I fixed and updated that package to the new version in PR #476 commit abc1712

that bug happened because an external pr changed some code which made some function miss its argument - which was fixed in the library easily

I can't actually reproduce this, it all works fine for me. but maybe you should try the new upcoming Exponential Volume plugin when it comes out after #488 is merged

I think that plugin might help with your problem 🙂

Ah nice! Yeah, that new plugin looks like exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks 👍 I'll close this since it's already being tracked in that PR.
