autoplay quickfix

[ImprovedTube]

AirRaid Videos don't always auto-pause when navigating to them. Is there something I should look for; other than disabling Player\Auto-play?

AirRaid And yeah, confirming - it was pageType === "video" and pageType === "channel"

• undoing the use of the pageType function for now: https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/commit/4491a2cd74503c3466a3f256f157132768fd6727
  • the original author might had a reason not to use that there.

• also the timing of above function is slightly later through: https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/commit/f5d8593eb588925d86f06c228561ccd61f14fb3c
  • as of: https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/blob/2a88783398daa257dfa08f6d05517432d4d347d5/js%26css/extension/init.js#L58-L65

There must be another more efficient way of disabling autoplay. Current https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/blob/f6e49b11fea9bedd7f471a884675485cc59e8f31/js%26css/web-accessible/functions.js#L296 still allows for a sub second play time and fetches few seconds of video to a buffer :(. On the other hand YT detects if viewport is visible/tab active and will not start playing at all if you open YT page in the background until you switch to that tab.

hi! @raszpl, btw

should we try the stop() function as possible or repeatedly within 0.x seconds? @dodieboy thought about this before after youtube removed a function.

this one: https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/blob/6f6a592a14834c4fd3aba890a30498904f2823e2/js%26css/web-accessible/functions.js#L173-L176 was placed critically/misplaced, because depending what changes over time during the sessions, our mutation handler could reach there too (https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/blob/master/js%26css/web-accessible/init.js )

pause works fine in other extensions, just need to slightly rework where its being called as for reliably pausing every time this needs to be removed https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/blob/7014a799a8f2facdbf073875b410fa130469f019/js%26css/web-accessible/www.youtube.com/player.js#L18-L21 I have no idea what its for, but its breaking autoplayDisable
