The video on the linked page started playing, verbalized the first few phrases (ending with "... recent years") and then went silent.
The video kept on playing, the subs were changing, you can hear the original (muted down) soundtrack, but the narration audio was gone.
Skipped forward by a minute or so, the narration resumed and then again stopped once the current subtitle was exhausted.
Subsequent dragging of the video slider made no difference, the narration stayed off. The dev console shows "Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The play method is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission." popping up, seemingly randomly, both when the narration was playing and when it was not. This is in a recent Firefox on Windows.
PS. FWIW, the quality of the narration is really good.
- picki 5y agoThank you, that's a really nice check - looks like there are some differences in browsers. I'll check and get back with the updated :) Many thanks for that time you've spent!!!
- huhtenberg 5y agoNot a problem. This looks like a interesting and useful project. If you manage to resolve this issue, do post an a quick update here. I'd be happy to pitch this to the mods for a boost on your behalf.
- picki 5y agoHmmm, tried to reproduce in Firefox, Safari, on different machines but still no luck. I'll find it though. Could you please let me know the Firefox version use? Cheers!
