I’ve had a request come in from one of our users that is supposedly happening to more than one person, but it doesn’t seem to happen consistently. Basically, a video resumes play all on its own if it’s paused and the user scrolls down the page. Has anybody else experienced this problem? Thanks. > If on a forum there is a video and I play it, then stop it. Scrolling down, after a few minutes the video long off the screen will start playing. This started a few months ago. > > FYI - I know it’s playing because I get audio from it. If I stop it after a few minutes I’ll suddenly start hearing it again. If I reload the page it does not start playing. > > I’m using Chrome Version 123.0.6312.105 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Linux. Just wondering if this is a Chrome issue, the forum software, the YT player… I haven’t noticed it on other sites, but I don’t visit many that have the continuous loading page. > > … > > So I have not been able to figure out how to reliably recreate the issue. It seems very random. Here are some things I do know: > > I have only seen it happen under Chrome on Linux, but I’m still watching for it to occur on other platforms (Firefox on Linux, Samsung tablet, Android phone). > > When it starts happening, it will keep happening. That is when it happens if you scroll around a bit it will happen over and over. > > It will happen when scrolling backwards or forwards. > > When it happens, there is a little jump in the scroll. > > When it happens I see `https://rr5---sn-qxoedn7k.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?expire=1716610604&e...` URL happen several times in the Developer tools log. The fact this URL is related to video makes me very suspicious this is probably related. > > I asked on the forum topic and one other person reported they had seen it on their tablet.
