Video stops when increasing volumn. #41

Open choikaya opened 3 months ago

choikaya commented 3 months ago

When I increase the volume which is muted by default, the video stops. This only happens when I first open the Instagram page. (I'm using 'native browser controls'.) It's a very small issue, but it quite annoying me.

Anyway, thanks for the great extension. :)

I found some message from Chrome's developer console : "Unmuting failed and the element was paused instead because the user didn't interact with the document before." So I clicked somewhere in the page before increase volume, and the video didn't stopped! But I still want this unwanted behavior would go away. :P

Hi, Normally the browser should consider clicking on the unmute button as interacting with the document. I cannot reproduce this issue in Firefox nor Chrome. On which type of video does this happen (post, reels, stories, etc.) and do you have any non-custom website settings for instagram.com? Are you using the native volume controls on the video or do you use some hotkeys or external volume controls (system sidebar etc.)?

  1. Normal posts (which is displayed by default when I load www.instagram.com).
  2. Browser is Edge, but can reproduce in Chrome.
  3. Extension option : Native browser control + check all 3 checkboxes.
  4. How to reproduce : 1) Load instagram site 2) Don't click anything but just scroll by middle wheel 3) Control volume by wheel

I came to know that If I control volume by clicking, the video does not stop. So this is a very little problem to me now. :)
