intensify filter on full screen videos

Pathduck

@Wolfy24 I have no idea about the "future" - I don't work at Vivaldi.

As for editing the file yourself, like I say it's in user_files. I'm not on MacOS so use "finder" or whatever you have to find that folder. Should be under the same place as the Application folder.

Wolfy24

@Pathduck ah right sorry
so i have to go on my finder app and edit it on there?

Pathduck

@Wolfy24 I don't know how you edit files on MacOS, you use a text editor I guess Macs have those too?

Wolfy24

@Pathduck ah man, this is tough, i can't find the file
could you send a screenshot please of where yours is, i might be able to find it if i know exactly what i'm looking for

Pathduck

@Wolfy24 Does this help?

You need to know how to find files on your OS.

Since you're on Mack, open a terminal window and do a:
find / -name Filter_Intensify.css
Brute force find.

Wolfy24

@Pathduck unfortunately not, it all says permission denied

i'll have to wait i guess until vivaldi stumble across my post hopefully
thanks anyway

Pathduck

@Wolfy24 Maybe someone who actually knows how to use Macks will stumble along

@Pathduck you wouldn't happen to know how to turn on the intensify filter on pwa's would you or on android pwa's?

Pathduck

@Wolfy24 I hate PWAs so no. And phones are for calling people.

PWAs in Vivaldi are just native Chromium, so no special features of Vivaldi will work.

For the find command, to avoid permission errors in the output you can pipe stderr to null:
find / -name Filter_Intensify.css 2>/dev/null

But I guess MacOS is not Linux...

@Pathduck ah shame, i use my phone to read manga on a pwa, with the intensity filter it looks amazing but i didn't want the address bar etc to come because on the pwa it goes fullscreen.

@Pathduck If you give it a new name it won't be overwritten on updates. I've had 3 of my own filters (with different names) in that directory since last September. They appear in the menu and work okay. That said... I tried making those changes to the filter but it still doesn't work on the Anime link in full screen using the Videos double arrows.

Developer Tools doesn't like that site either, goes right into debug mode and seems to be blocking a js script trying to be naughty?

This is what I put in the new filter to try:

html, video, embed, img {
  filter: saturate(150%) contrast(115%) !important;
}

Good tip on giving it a new name - but on Windows at least the folder is like:
Application\6.6.3238.3\resources\vivaldi\user_files
So obviously that will get overwritten on browser update. I guess I have to test it, maybe there's some magic copying of files on update

Seems to work for me if I assign a hotkey to the filter and toggle it, but not when clicking the fullscreen video button.

Strange, but not something I'm going to invest time investigating further, not something I see much use for...

It's the other way around - the site does not like users inspecting their code - they have a script to detect if devtools is opened and if so redirects to their start page.

Apparently sites can do so now... well, can't expect more from shady anime pirate sites chock full of ads and popups...

That's pretty much the same as Linux. Update for Linux just changes the files it knows about. Others (mine) are left alone, so far anyway

You should give it a try (some filter files). Would love to see what other people come up with that could help EVERYONE do things different or better...

If the path changes (because the version is different) I can't see how it would work. Even symlinks won't work as the links get deleted. Maybe updates on Linux are different.

Oh I already have some, they're awesome, try them:

@Pathduck Ahh... The numbering change didn't catch my eye and no, Linux just overwrites the existing files. The directories don't really change each time unless they are being restructured for some reason.

Thanks for the files, saved them and will be checking them out

What I'd really like to see would be "reader" type css filter. I tried a couple of my own but they don't work very well. Nothing worth passing on that's for sure

@Pathduck the only issue with that code, is youtube becomes double saturated because of it
