    Longely Note if this is exclusive to latest RC and not a behavior in Orion beta or Safari?

        yes only RC. Maybe its related to Autoplay, something seems different, will try to figure it out if others cant reproduce

            Still having issue in lates RC Version 0.99.123.3.9-rc (WebKit 616.1.10)

            this happens sometimes:

            play/pause/play/pause etc..

              Longely Likely a WebKit issue, can't see anything that Orion is doing that can be influencing this.

                Steps to reproduce:
                Go to https://www.youtube.com/ and start watching any video. Click somewhere in the video timeline to jump forwards. The video will now pause and unpause continually; CPU usage goes high; tab-close button and tab menu become very slow or unresponsive. This does not happen in compatibility mode. It could be that something changed on the YouTube site, but I think this only started happening after upgrading to 0.99.124.

                Expected behavior:
                Video should continue to play smoothly, even in "not compatibility" mode, like in previous Orion version.

                Orion, OS version; hardware type:
                Orion 0.99.124, macOS 12.6, Macbook Pro (Retina, 15", mid-2015) 2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM.

                  I'm not experiencing this behavior. Currently on macOS Ventura 13.3.1, 2021 MacBook Pro 16 inch. The video does stay paused, but that has more to do with the default settings if I'm not mistaken (videos are set to not auto-play).

                    Thanks for following up.

                    @shortHairRASTA is right, it only happens when the auto-play switch is on. (The auto-play switch is about halfway along the controls on the lower edge of the video: it looks like a short slider with either a play or pause icon in the thumb).

                    So, revised steps to reproduce: Go to https://www.youtube.com/ , not in compatibility mode, and start watching any video. Set 'auto-play' to on. Click somewhere in the video timeline to jump forwards. The video will now pause and unpause continually.

                    It doesn't happen in Safari; doesn't happen in compatibility mode; didn't happen before 0.99.124.

                      Longely Agreed, I see something very similar to your "play/pause/play/pause" video for that issue.

                          I'm experiencing the same issue. It doesn't seem to occur in auto-generated mixes or playlists (it only occurs when there's the auto play toggle).

                          See video.

                            Correction: this does happen in Compatibility Mode, but the trigger is different. In Compatibility Mode with Youtube autoplay off, if I use the Youtube search box (not the Orion address bar) to find a video, then start playing the video, I immediately see this play/pause issue. Weird!

                              Merged 9 posts from Youtube pauses/unpauses constantly after skipping forward.

                                Sometimes it even happens when I just pause a video (in Compatibility Mode, with autoplay off). But not every time.

                                  I was able to confirm rapid play/pause sequence in videos today.
