    @runny

    I also had some issues with the autostart but upgrading my electron seems to have fixed the issue with both modules. As long and you followed the “workaround” directions in the readme. it should work.

    Please try letting the modules run and see if they eventually start. I have seen this behavior. It may have to do with the feed being blacked out for periods of time at the source.

    So, please verify the workaround was done and that you are running the newest electron. My electron is at 11.3.

    Peace!

      Can anyone help please, I can’t get the feed to autoplay with Electron 15.3.0 even after adding the following
      app.commandLine.appendSwitch(‘autoplay-policy’, ‘no-user-gesture-required’);
      This is how the line looks in electron.js

      function createWindow() {
      app.commandLine.appendSwitch(‘autoplay-policy’, ‘no-user-gesture-required’);
      let electronSwitchesDefaults = [“autoplay-policy”, “no-user-gesture-required”];
      app.commandLine.appendSwitch(…new Set(electronSwitchesDefaults, config.electronSwitches));
      let electronOptionsDefaults = {

        @ruskythegreat autoplay is now part of the webPreferences config

        https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/browser-window

        but, I have heard others say this setting also doesn’t work

        (I did the change request to set it as it is now)

        also, your electron should be 13.5.1 (on MM version 2.17.1)

                @ruskythegreat i understand… did u try to change the code to the new webPreferences object parm?

                in general they are stopping autoplay because customers are screaming at them (I hate it too in general purpose use)…

                    @ruskythegreat there is already a WebPreferences object in the electron.js file, just down a few lines from your change.
                    line 30

                    look at the doc link for autoplay, to get the right syntax/spelling

                    and add the key and value to the WebPreferences object

                      @sdetweil Thanks for all your help with this.
                      It’s still not autoplaying :(
                      I tried with the autoplayPolicy with the no-user-gesture-required so: -
                      autoplayPolicy: no-user-gesture-required,

                      C&P to eliminate typos!

                      So now the whole webpreferences entry reads: -

                                  webPreferences: {
                                          autoplayPolicy: no-user-gesture-required,
                                          contextIsolation: true,
                                          nodeIntegration: false,
                                          zoomFactor: config.zoom
                                  },
                      

                      But MM doesn’t start!
