I wanted to make sure this has something to with Discourse and not me, before I maybe make an account and post on the official forums. Has anyone experienced the following?
I’ve started noticing weird behaviour with YT videos, where the videos I played restart or unpause as I scroll the thread further down. Guess it has something to do with how Discourse loads new content. I think this has happened before, but only lately I really started noticing, so maybe something changed. I basically have to reload the page everytime a video starts autoplaying outside of the screen.
Happening with latest version of Firefox at least, with all extensions disabled.
If I’m using Spotify, or was just using it and then watch a Youtube video, pressing F8 pauses Spotify but not YouTube.
But if it’s on the forum, playing the videos there as I scroll and the ones played previously unpause at the same time, this button stops everything
Yeah, I was just wondering how it finds the embedded video not in focus from the webpage. Apps are a given, but didn’t think it works for stuff inside the browser.
I found a few topics on it on the Discourse forum.
Seems like this bug is due 4 years and the devs have stated ‘it’s too hard to fix’. Seems like a pretty serious issue to me. Threads where lots of videos are shared are unbearable.
Gahh.
Still, most people are saying it’s only a problem when scrolling up. I wonder if this is a new issue altogether.
When it does, I immediately reload the page in the browser. It’s smart enough to find the same spot on the page again you’re currently at, but the youtube clips get reset so they don’t start playing again every time the page loads new comments.
How does it work?
