try disabling this in settings:

you probably have diff behavior bc u changed settings on orion. the default is preventing autoplay with sound

    eirk I didn't change any settings and have no extension installed.

    As you can see every second video doesn't autoplay. This indicates a bug, otherwise none would play.

      rosenrot yes, but could u check that yt shorts always play if u allow it to do so in settings?

        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.

            There is no solution as it happens on a freshly installed version and it is 100% reproducible. It is a bug. Let's see if we gain enough momentum to get it fixed.

                    Longely I can not reproduce it.

                    rosenrot it is 100% not reproducible for me. So looking for the differences
                    in setup.

                    Latest RC:

                      Vlad Really interesting. For me the problem persists on the latest RC. However, it isn't a problem in the latest public Orion version. Not sure where the difference can come from as I don't have any extension installed nor have I changed any settings.

                        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:

                          1. The first video you watch will always autoplay regardless of watched status
                          2. Subsequent previously-unwatched videos will always autoplay
                          3. 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:

                            1. Youtube shorts seems to auto play in odd even mode. first video play, second not, third video play, fourth not.(when scrolled)
                            2. 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.
