still can't make playlists work (autoplay policy ?)

[gordielachance]

Related to #1072, I still can't make playlists work; player is "blocked" by the browser when the tab is inactive.

I suspect that this might be related to your code, since it even does not work when the website is whitelisted for autoplay (for chrome, at chrome://settings/content/sound).

This example on codepen has an audio playlist which works when tab is in background (even if not whitelisted) https://codepen.io/danielhoegel/pen/OZNqNo

After a media has ended and that the next one is requested to play (custom code), react-player fires onReady but does not play the media.

I also filled a question on stackoverflow here.

Thanks a lot !

With your demo it doesn't work here on either Firefox or Chrome.

I use the library on a Nextjs project and there it autoplays the next video also when in background.

I use onEnded={..} which calls a function which updates the current url={...}.

// I have also set this:
stopOnUnmount={false}

Hi @TheManFromEarth1, it helped !
As I knew it was possible because of your feedback, I kept trying to find out what was the bug.

Well, at the beginning of my function resolveTracks(), I had a line

setSourceUrl('');

Which was "resetting" the stream before loading the next URL.
That was the cause of my bug. Without that line, going to the next track works !

Thanks a lot for your help.
(no need for stopOnUnmount here)
