Autoplay broken

[Eisys]

Bug Report:

⚬ BUG: Autoplay is enabled. Subs/Home page; middle click a video, it opens in a new tab. Open that tab. Video is paused for half a second, a second, etc. Then starts playing normally.

• youtube.com/'InsertChannelName'/videos. Click on a video. Video page loads but video does not play unless I click on it, press Space, etc to start it.

⚬ HOW: null

⚬ EXPECTED (/preferred) behavior: Autoplay being enabled should keep whatever default Youtube behaviour.
Imho 'Enabled' should disable all autoplay related code in ImprovedTube to stop it from messing with the player and causing such bugs.

⚬ Screenshots: null
/ ⚬ Context: null

Setup:

⚬ ImprovedTube Version: 4.0.17
⚬ Browser: Chrome Version 111.0.5563.50 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)
⚬ Settings: It happens with a fresh install of ImprovedTube.
⚬ OS: Windows 11 Pro
⚬ Device: null

Hi @Eisys! Thanks, a new version is pending webstore review. You also can try our beta webstore version maybe.

Thanks for the update.

The first part of the problem still happens on the Beta version 4.0.35
Clicking a video while on a channel's page, however, is working there.

I can confirm that this bug seems fixed in the beta version. I've had it for weeks, if not months, and just never got around to reporting it because I thought I had the autoplay disabled using a userscript. Thanks for the hard work!

So I visited reddit and tried viewing an embedded video from Youtube there, and ImprovedTube went bananas, trying to reset the video to 0 seconds (or refreshing?) constantly as it wasn't able to properly "hook" the pause function. This was using Beta v. 4.0.36.

EDIT: Turns out this wasn't related to this issue at all, I got totally in my head that it was though, sorry for the confusion.

@Eisys exactly! and maybe it should be called "No autoplay" after all. Or maybe we should not have switches "on" by default just representing Youtube's defaults, but rather a whole list, category of things called: "Trashbin" / things to avoid

@Eisys what about now / v4.4 ?

[raszpl]

"No autoplay" "Disable autoplay" is much better
same goes for options like "Allow 60fps", its not allowing anything and works in reverse, should be called "Disable >30fps"

Still happening on version 4.9.

Even on a brand new install of Chrome on a "brand new" install of Win 11(Windows Sandbox), with only ImprovedTube and Ublock Origin added.
Ublock Origin was installed because ImprovedTube didn't disable ads with 'General' -> 'Ads' set to off.
