When I pause a video (for me it happened for YouTube as well as Hulu so far) and I am working on another tab, sometimes the paused video on the inactive tab suddenly starts playing again, not all of them, just one random video. Usually when this tab has been inactive for quite a while even.
Steps to (maybe) reproduce:
stream a video.
Pause it.
Move to another tab and start working on any other tab except the tab with the video and then just wait (I guess, not sure what else I did to have it suddenly start playing)
Result for me:
video randomly unpauses and starts playing. Even with the tab still inactive, as I am still on another tab.
Happened a couple times already with Hulu (initially I thought it was their bug, because let’s face it their software suks however,) now it started happening with YouTube as well.
This happened on MacOS (latest few versions) on Brave v1.79.118 (Win11) as well as v1.78.102 (Mac ARM64)
@calluna Thank you for reporting.
I actually see this issue on my end as well, but only on Hulu. I think it is specific to macOS as I don’t see the issue occur on Windows. I’ve opened the following issue for this on our Github here:
