I’ve got a fix here for the video restarting when scrolling to different posts:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/65d7103bdc20d597decaeefa6ae9c782d6d51aaa](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/65d7103bdc20d597decaeefa6ae9c782d6d51aaa)

As for it stopping when offscreen: that’s the result of our cloaking, which tries to save memory by unloading things as they scroll off. We might be able to increase the threshold before this happens, or perhaps add a check to see if there’s a video playing, but I think it’s less serious of a bug.
