is.
Videoplayer is stuck in "loading" screen when autoplay is explicitly blocked by browser.
When testing the @chroma/VideoPlayer component, i am not able to see video playback due to the player being stuck in loading window. I can see from the console that the video playlist and segments are being fetched correctly, and I also see an exception raised:
"Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The play method is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission."
Once I allow video playback component works correctly.
It looks like this could be fixed by handling the exception thrown by await video.play() in @chroma/src/VideoPlayer/index.js
I am using firefox 87.0 (64-bit), I havent tested this issue on other browsers.
