NOT WORKING: Embedded Twitter Video #164

Open DrFritzA opened 7 years ago

DrFritzA commented 7 years ago

Hi all, I'm using the extension on Chrome, and it blocks auto-play everywhere it's annoying. But I can't play (at all) embedded Twitter video, even with click. And this is basically all over every news site. I've tried setting an exception: "www.twitter.com nothing" is what I found online, but that doesn't work. Just to be clear, I'm not on twitter.com, I'm on news sites that embed tweets; I can't play the associated video. The only workaround I can find is to manually disable the extension on those sites, but it's tons and tons of sites if you're news surfing.

Any suggestions? Thank you!

This is a limitation of the current extension; Embedded players will have the same disabling policy as the overall page. I don't have any immediate suggestions, but the 0.7 series or newer Chome releases will solve this issue.

Can you please expand on what this means?: "but the 0.7 series or newer Chrome releases will solve this issue." 0.7 series of what? Not sure what that is. Newer Chrome releases? Meaning ones that are out or ones that have yet to come out? Thanks!

Using the README as context:

"The 0.7 series" refers to versions 0.7.x, where x is some whole number
"Newer Chrome releases" refers to future versions of Chrome, which will implement an autoplay and autobuffering disabling algorithm detailed in the design document.
