Extension ng Volume Control for Bandcamp Player

# Volume Control for Bandcamp Player

## Foreword

I got really tired of not being able to control the volume of Bandcamp audio players so I thought about trying to fix that for myself. This extension is primarily made for my own personal use, but I figured if someone else can use it as well, why not try and help.

## How this thing works

The extension works by searching for HTML5 audio players on any Bandcamp page (including the embedded players on other websites), hooking into their HTML markup where the buttons (well, Play/Pause button) and progress slider are and adding in a volume slider that can control said player's volume.

The slider takes some of the styles from Bandcamp's own player to fit the visual style so it should look fairly consistent. It's nothing too fancy, but it gets the job done. The volume slider handle is a bit more rounded to make it easier to discern it from the regular song progress bar.

The volume is saved every time it's changed and the value should persist across multiple players. So if you save a volume at 42% on one page and open up another one (it doesn't matter if it's embedded or not), the volume should default to 42% in that one, too. This eliminates the need to constantly reset it if you're browsing multiple pages quickly. Note that if there are multiple embedded players in the same page, changing volume of one will **not** instantly affect any other. Also, only the last value changed (regardless of the player) will be saved.

## Important notices

- Currently on Bandcamp's Discover page one slider controls **all** found audio player page elements until I figure out which is which. I don't use that page enough to actually know the consequences of that yet
- There is an issue with artwork-only player where the volume slider interferes with the playlist that shows up on hover; I'll see about getting that fixed as soon as I can
- Those very tiny players aren't currently supported at all

## Permissions

The extension only requires `storage` permissions (so it can save the volume level), and access to the content of any Bandcamp (`https://*.bandcamp.com/`) page (so it can find the player, markup, etc.).
