No autoplay for videos in v2.14 & v2.15

@sdetweil said in No autoplay for videos in v2.14 & v2.15:

@rudibarani well, we moved from electron 8 to 11

I do to keep up with the latest version of electron via

npm install electron@latest

as I otherwise get a message saying something like “your browser is outdated” hovering above the ISS stream. The current electron version does autoplay with MagicMirror v2.13 - but not with a newer version of MagicMirror.

@rudibarani comment out

contextIsolation: true,

better yet, set it to false

in the web preferences

but that doesn’t explain 2.14

@sdetweil Thanks for the idea. This does not seem to cause the problem. Autoplay still refuses to cooperate…

@rudibarani if you wave the mouse over the mm screen does it work then?

@sdetweil No - I need to click on the “play” button on the stream.
