Youtube Shorts do not autoplay
Actually, I see the exact same thing happening on other Youtube videos as well. The browser is in private mode with no extensions.
I'm using Orion RC.

On my setup it happens maybe every 6th time or so, and seems to be regardless of what setup i have. but its way less then previously

I have observed this behaviour with regular YouTube videos as well with the latest RC (0.99.123.3.7-rc) only. After fiddling around a bit to work out how to reproduce it, I believe it only happens with videos that have been previously watched/are in progress with a red bar in the thumbnail.
What works:
- The first video you watch will always autoplay regardless of watched status
- Subsequent previously-unwatched videos will always autoplay
- Livestreams will always autoplay
Regarding Shorts: I don't usually watch them so I am not familiar with their behaviour prior to the .7rc but I was able to browse through and could randomly experience them not autoplaying. Sometimes if you scrolled back to it, it would play as expected.

Steps to reproduce:
- Youtube shorts seems to auto play in odd even mode. first video play, second not, third video play, fourth not.(when scrolled)
- Youtube video not autoplay when open through a a different video page. Assume i am playing a video and there is related video in sidebar, clicking on any video not autoplay.
Not work even after whitelisted in Auto Play.
Expected behavior:
It should auto play all youtube video.
