"Play next by default" is enforced in playlists

Open TheFrenchGhosty opened this issue 6 years ago • 8 comments

When watching a video from a playlist, the player will not follow the settings and enforce "Play next by default" when the video playing is done without having any way to disable that behavior, I guess adding settings specific to playlists about "Play next by default"/autoplaying might be a good idea.

Edit : After testing, playlists do respect Autoplay / Autoplay next by default, so the problem is really just the fact that "Play next by default" is enforced, as I said having specific settings for playlist is the best way to fix it.

I don't see a use case when you do not want to advance a playlist.

Reading comments.

Reading comments.

Just pause the video to continue reading them. I don't know if this is worth it adding or just feature creep.

This is a bug, this shouldn't happen.

I don't see a use case when you do not want to advance a playlist.

Because you don't see a use case doesn't mean there's no use case. I can list a few:

  1. I don't like autoplay in any form, it's simply annoying;
  2. I may be away from the device and can't stop the video right before autoplay kicks in;
  3. I may be on cellular connection and want to have some control on data usage;
  4. As mentioned by @TheFrenchGhosty at https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/693#issuecomment-640056056: reading comments without the hassle of having to stop the video right before its end.

Probably others have other use cases. They may appear "small" if you don't care about them, but they're important for those who care. Try not to disregard or invalidate issues pointed by others just because you can't see something.
