Does not autoplay after rendering

[MarkHoo]

OS: Windows10 Python：v3.9.13 vscode：v1.80.1 manim：v0.17.3， v0.16.0.post0 sideview: v0.2.5

Watch the video introduction on YouTube, it will play automatically after rendering. But this is not the case when I use it. Every time I need to manually click on the video to play it, it seems very troublesome.

How can I configure it so that it can play automatically after rendering. Thanks!

Hi, You can go to File -> Preferences -> Settings and enable Manim-sideview: Auto Preview

This option is checked by default.

This problem occurs after updating the version of vscode.

After I downgraded vscode to version 1.63 today, it returned to normal. This may be an adaptation problem between the plugin and the new version of vscode

I will look further into this and get back to you.

This does have to do with the vscode version.the new version of vscode will result in this situation

This seems to be an issue due to the fact that video players need to be muted for auto-play to work, accordingly to this post. Why it broke only now, I don't know.
