All Youtube Tabs Open and Play Immediately

[DoctorG]

Workaround
Open Settings → Privacy → Website Permissions → Global Permissions → Autoplay → Block

Then the background tabs stay silent even after restoring Vivaldi window.

@Valmighty And for you?

@DoctorG Not really a Solution - rather a Workaround
But nice finding

I have Global: Autoplay = Blocked
But I have youtube.com: Autplay = Allowed

Because Allowed is needed for hovering video thumbnails playback to work, I like that feature

Thanks. Yes, my unclear post; I renamed the text.

@DoctorG

Would be very nasty for users if i run a few tabs with meetings and going back to Vivaldi all of them will play sound

Happened to me

Some weeks ago during Snapshots - I tried to find a way to make it happen again, but I couldn't so I stopped caring because it didn't happen again

I had not tested so much on Youtube, that's why i missed the bug and was never hit by it.

[hkarsilar]

This happened to me just now, and I didn't know what I was hit with!

That was some scary stuff... :

@Valmighty
Dev team is working on a fix now.

[StClaws]

@DoctorG same issue, and not really a workaround.
It still starts playing all newly opened in background YT videos, when alt-tab back to vivaldi, even if you have Autoplay: block.

Glad it's a known issue, that's being worked on, quite annoying.
But at least now i figured the trigger and can try to avoid until it's fixed.

Happening with Twitch.tv too

Thanks, I hope it will be fixed after the upgrade.

[DoctorG]

A Fix is in progress and roughly tested internally. Stay tuned.

[Catweazle]

@Valmighty, why don't you use playlists for the videos, instead of open these in several tabs, as workarround? I do so

Having same issue here, im a new vivaldi user.
Is there issues common?
And the browser auto updates? bcz i havent updated it myself..

@beLpheg0r
Hi, welcome to the forum.
Yes, issues in browsers are common.
This autoplay bug in Vivaldi is reported to the bug tracker and "In Process".
Auto update is enabled by default and there is a message in the address bar if a new version is ready to update.
You can disable it, just search in the settings search field for "update".

Cheers, mib

Looking very much forward to seeing that one fixed. Quite a pest, this bug. That, or I have way too many youtube tabs open.

I'm having this issue, as well, and I'm starting to get pretty frustrated because this is something Vivaldi already HAD an issue with a few months back, and now it's an issue again. Vivaldi seems to be in a cycle of just issues repeating itself.

[DoctorG]

A fix is ready and will be tested in a next internal version.
Stay tuned.

I thought I was the only one I also found that if you hibernate those YouTube tabs it will stop autoplay as well

@DoctorG
looks like it's fixed now, thanks Vivaldi team.

I just noticed this annoying bug, in what version is this fixed exactly?
