CNN videos still autoplay #87

CNN videos still move to the sidebar and start playing when scrolling.

Thanks for reporting. Do you have a URL to an article where you experience this behavior?

http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/28/us/ohare-aircraft-incident/ is one example, but on closer inspection, it looks like they're somehow bypassing Flash Block Plus and not using HTML5's native video.

That's weird. What happens if you disable Flash player?

dawnerd commented 7 years ago

Happening a lot now. Was working the other day, now if you click or interact with the page it plays. They must be trying to force it on us.

Edit: Looks like if you scroll right as they move the player the autoplay isn't stopped.

It's still happening, or happening again. Here's the URL that autoplayed for me today: https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/30/opinions/nra-power-struggle-ag-inquiry-opinion-filipovic/index.html
