Auto Play issues after latest update

[lprell]

I am experiencing some issues with content audio auto playing even if the website is set to not to. This started after latest update. For example, just scrolling down reddit.com feed and random audio start playing though video is not playing (I have set up reddit to not auto play any media).

Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

This should really not happen, especially because I have disabled auto-playing if it is an embed.

I'm not sure what may be causing this, but I'll try my best to investigate.

Perhaps an issue specific to Firefox?

After all, there was that issue on the Piped website, which necessitated the autoplay preference (https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/issues/138).

I too have seen this, with embeds following what I set on Piped, rather than respecting the browser settings, while YouTube and Invidious do respect the browser setting.

Well, in my case specifically, both browser and reddit was setting to not auto play any content. I'm no expert, so sorry if this is a dumb comment but is the extension triggered even though we do not interact woth any video/audio content? If so, this could explain things because the default setting on piped (meaning not signed up) is to autoplay videos.

@lprell Sorry about my delay. The extension only redirects the URL, so while it is possible for something regarding autoplay to get botched with it, I personally believe that the issue actually lies with the Piped website and how Firefox handles the autoplay permission, as once I set videos to not autoplay from the Piped website's settings, the embeds also follow suit.
