Youtube autoplay

[ines]

I’ve update the mmm-assistantMk2 and suddenly when i demand a video from youtube it brings to me a video from youtube but the video doesn’t play

@ines in the update MM uses an upgraded version of the browser that implements a new restriction, user must interact with screen before play is allowed…

fix is to edit the MagicMirror/js/electron.js file and insert the line marked below (approx line 20)

// Keep a global reference of the window object, if you don't, the window will
// be closed automatically when the JavaScript object is garbage collected.
let mainWindow;

function createWindow() {
    app.commandLine.appendSwitch('autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required');  //< -------- added
	var electronOptionsDefaults = {

then close and restart mm

i see there is a proposed fix in the next update (July)
