Netflix Video Not Working: Blackscreen

[NDevTK]

If all goes well I will publish https://github.com/NDevTK/AutoPause/releases/tag/2.7.7 in less then 24 hours.
It also includes performance improvements since there was a logic issue with the content script.
Also it now pauses hidden muted media.

[NDevTK]

Fixed in version 2.7.7 and published on Firefox.

Thanks for the report :)
I don't have a netflix subscription.

When you press F12 while watching a video is there any errors?
Does this affect any other website?

[DecodedMonkey]

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Node.removeChild: The node to be removed is not a child of this node

This error disappears when disabling the extension, so I think it is being caused by AutoPause.

[NDevTK]

Without the extension and a video playing...
Does this pause the media?
[...document.getElementsByTagName('video')].forEach(v => {v.playbackRate = 0}) ;

Does this play the media?
[...document.getElementsByTagName('video')].forEach(v => {v.playbackRate = 1});

Does this fix it? https://github.com/NDevTK/AutoPause/actions/runs/3201095010

Since this issue seems to be with the extension preventing .play()
I added error handling does https://github.com/NDevTK/AutoPause/actions/runs/3201219856 work?
If you need help testing it pls say :)

[DecodedMonkey]

The media does Play and pause, using the code snippets.

3201219856 does not seem to fix the issue.

Though, I no longer see any errors in Firefox dev tools.

[DecodedMonkey]

I take that back the error is still there had to refresh a few times though. Not sure what that is about.

I am doing this testing in a clean version of Firefox Dev Edition

[NDevTK]

Did you try https://github.com/NDevTK/AutoPause/actions/runs/3201095010 that should remove the code injection part for netflix.

Does fix the issue.

[NDevTK]

🎉Okay guess the issue is with WindowScript.js
Does the extension still pause the media?

[DecodedMonkey]

Yes, seems to be working as intend.
