[Feature Requests] Media Control Feature
-
I want to pause and play the music (or radio or podcast or video) of other not-active tabs! Like this image↓
When I do net-surfing with listening favorite music (or radio or podcast or video), I want to pause! Not mute. Because If vivaldi have this feature, I can listen from stopping point again!
And if vivaldi have the features to skip media and to control volume by vivaldi, that's more nice!!
And I think it is good to replace Tab-Mute button with Pause & Play button on the tab , too. Like this image↓
Because this is simple. And Pause feature can Mute the media.

Play/Pause Tab Button: So true, in general i never wanna mute the tab, but pause video/sound
For the Media Control, I'd also be happy if it would be a "Media Control Panel". Currently I'm somewhat using the Panel to for Youtube Playlist to have quick access to the Video Controls (or resizing the whole window to a column).

I could be wrong, but does the browser have enough control of the media to be able to do any of this?
I don't know how Vivaldi "knows" when e.g. a plugin is playing audio, but I'd imagine there's a big difference between detecting that and creating a custom interface to work with EVERY Flash, HTML5 etc. stream or plugin a page may contain... And what about e.g. multiple sources in one page?

@mossman Indeed, a browser is not a generic media player, and detecting the correct action to apply on every web players would be impossible. We have to click on the appropriate pause/stop button in the player interface.

I don't know whether this feature is realizable or not. But I have hoped this feature for a long time. Opera Neon (※) have the feature like this. And I think media control feature will be essential feature for web browser in the future. So, I wrote this feature request.
Incidentally, I can pause and play the media of specific websites by Player panel of Opera Neon. As far as I searched, those websites are...
I think Vivaldi doesn't need to have the feature controling the media of all websites.

※. Opera Neon is the concept browser of Opera Software. This browser was released in January 2017.

I made the image about Media Control "Panel".
But I don't hope this panel. Because I don't use panel feature of Vivaldi.

I like very much this idea.
