Guidelines

  • I have encountered this bug in the latest release of FreeTube.
  • I have encountered this bug in the official downloads of FreeTube.
  • I have searched the issue tracker for open and closed issues that are similar to the bug report I want to file, without success.
  • I have searched the documentation for information that matches the description of the bug I want to file, without success.
  • This issue contains only one bug.

Describe the bug

on macOS the direction of two-finger scrolling on a touchpad is reversed

in the FreeTube app settings > Player section, enable

  • Scroll Volume Over Video Player
  • Scroll Playback Rate Over Video Player
  • Skip by Scrolling Over Video Player (after disabling "Scroll Volume Over Video Player")

in macOS Settings > Trackpad > Scroll direction is set to "Natural" (this is the default)

on macOS, the scrolling sensitivity is too high

  • for "Scroll Volume Over Video Player" currently I can go from 0% to 100% volume by moving my fingers about 5mm
  • for "Skip by Scrolling Over Video Player" it is also too high

Expected Behavior

Scrolling direction

the two-finger scrolling behavior should be:

  • two-fingers move up to increase volume (down to decrease)
  • holding the Command key + two-fingers move up to increase playback rate (down to decrease)
  • two-fingers move left to scroll backwards in video (right to scroll forwards)

currently FreeTube uses the opposite directions for these actions

Scrolling rate

  • lowered sensitivity (maybe 5 to 10x lower)

I haven't tested your custom build, but it seems it just fixes the scrolling rate and not the wrong direction (see Expected Behavior > Scrolling direction from the top post opening this issue)

For mouse wheel (or any scrolling event), when scrolling down, event.deltaY value is positive
Then FT decrease/rewind the volume/playrate/progress
Scroll up = increase/forward

For whatever direction setting for trackpad/wheel, FT is only able to read event values and use that to decide the direction

you could just add a "reverse scrolling direction" just for those 3 settings in the FreeTube app settings > Player section

  • Scroll Volume Over Video Player
  • Scroll Playback Rate Over Video Player
  • Skip by Scrolling Over Video Player
