I have a simple playback speed setter for any HTML tagged videos (YouTube).
When I click the 2.25 button that's supposed to change the speed, nothing happens.
But when I open the browser console and type "document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 2.25", the video changes its speed fine.
What's the fix?
playspeed.js
browser.tabs.executeScript(
{ code: `document.getElementById('speed225').onclick = function () { document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 2.25;
}` })
