I would like to take a look at it

@xeophyte did you try to work with latest vivaldi stable cahnnel ? 6.5.3206.55 (Stable channel) no issues found for me

[xeophyte]

No, I use latest snapshots.

@xeophyte I managed to recreate the issue and now debugging it, @ImprovedTube there are multiple issues in json files preventing to load the project in devTools. I will create a PR soon with fixes to these json files prior to trying to fix the progressBar issue

[xeophyte]

Thanks.

@xeophyte this option works fine, its just not the progress bar you might have been expecting. Look at the bottom of video - there is a thin Red line progressing.

what issues in what json files? devtools works perfectly fine

Ok, I found a possible connection to this problem. The progress bar disappears when another video is started on another tab (with "Pause while I watch a 2nd video" enabled) or when I click somewhere on the progress bar or when I click pause/play.

Try backup and reinstall method. Idk why sometimes options stops working. But reinstal usually works 🤷

[xeophyte]

I reset the settings, uninstalled the extension, cleared the extension cache, installed again without importing my settings and still got this. Do you have "Hide player controls bar" set to "When paused" or "Always"? I have this bug with this. When it's set to "Off", there is no problem.

In 4.941 still doesn't work. First post edited for better description.

Thanks! BTW @xeophyte. Did someone see this outside of Vivaldi?

No, because I didn't think it could be related to the browser itself. I could write about it on the Vivaldi forum, but I would probably get an answer that it was the extension's fault.

I can confirm that. (Firefox 136)
