autopause's Issues

Media from Pandora is no longer paused when switching tabs

After updating to Firefox 93.0, the extension no longer automatically pauses Pandora Radio when viewing media in other tabs.

I have unsuccessfully attempted to remedy this issue by:

• restarting Firefox
• logging out of Pandora and clearing its cache
• creating a new Firefox profile
• updating to Firefox Nightly (95.x)

Prevent websites with notification sounds (or any website) from pausing other websites playing media?

Discord notification sounds keep interrupting media playing in spotify, youtube etc.
Is there any way to bypass this?

Suggestion. "Pause all" hotkey or/and queue limit

When I open multiple tabs with media playing, a queue of paused media is formed. Sometimes this is very convenient, but if there are too many paused media, it can be difficult to pause them all.

I suggest adding a hotkey to pause all media (i.e. to clear the queue and stop the playing media)

I would also suggest adding a limit to the queue size. The oldest media that exceed the limit will be stopped permanently without automatic continuation.

Sorry for the machine translation

How will it work in case of inherited HTML tags (custom elements) and Shadow DOM (including closed DOM)?

How will it work in case of inherited HTML tags (custom elements) and Shadow DOM (including closed DOM)?

1. I can create custom elements that inherits HTMLVideoElement

   class PopupInfo extends HTMLVideoElement {
   }
   customElements.define('popup-info', PopUpInfo);

   How will your algorithm find <popup-info> tag?
2. It also should not work with Shadow DOM including closed Shadow DOM see my issue for SingleFile addon gildas-lormeau/SingleFile#518

Clarify multi-window usage

Hey! Thanks for the neat extension.

I think I may either not fully understand how to use it, though. Or maybe what I'm trying to achieve isn't possible?

Here's what I'm trying to achieve:

• 2 Firefox windows are open: Window A and Window B.
• Window A has two media tabs loaded: Tab A1 and Tab A2. I want AutoPause to make sure that only one of these is currently playing.
  • (Both of them are Picarto streams in my particular use case, if it matters.)
• While Window A is showing, I want to be able to switch to Window B without the media currently playing in Window A to pause.
  • In other words, I want to see both windows side-by-side, and have interaction with Window B not interfere with the playing of media in Window A.

Is this possible? When I have the "Pause media on tab change (...)" setting enabled and I switch from Window A to Window B, the media in Window A will pause playback, which I don't want. With the setting disabled, playback in Tab A1 will not pause when I switch to Tab A2 in Window A (as far as I can tell).

doesn't work on many sites ..

listening to wrif.com , switch tabs to youtube and they both play .. watching USTVGO , change tabs to another USTVGO and both play .. i love the idea of this addon and hope you can get it working across the board! thanks and have a great day!

Potentially not wanted third tab behavior

PiP detection is not universal.

Firefox currently sets document.visibilityState to true when PiP is enabled in that tab.
The spec says this should be using document.pictureInPictureElement in every frame but thats not supported yet :(

Spec: https://w3c.github.io/picture-in-picture/#page-visibility
Status of feature: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/pictureInPictureElement

Fix issue with multiple windows

• "Stable" has a 3-4 seconds delay.
• "development" spams the pause function.

Fix silent media detection

checkVisibility cant check for PiP on firefox.

Can't customize keyboard shortcuts

Describe the bug
I can no longer customize the keyboard shortcuts in the AutoPause's add-on options.
Selecting one of the text fields in the "Shortcuts" section will allow me to type in the text field, but this won't actually set a keyboard shortcut.

To Reproduce

1. Go to 'about:addons' > 'Manage Your Extensions' > 'AutoPause' > '...' > 'Options'.
2. Select one of the text fields in the "Shortcuts" section and try to customize a keyboard shortcut.
3. The shortcut won't be changed.

Expected behavior
The keyboard shortcut is set.

Go to Active Tab Hotkey

This plugin is Genius!

A hotkey or button to go to active playing tab would be great! Sometimes its hard to find or see the music icon amongst all the tabs.

Cheers!!!

[Feature Request] Options to disable auto-resume feature

Though I understand some people love the auto-resume feature, but I don't like it that much and would rather resume manually.

This is such a great addon, btw!
