Hello,

Is it just me, or does 'prevent only autoplay' sometimes get ignored and the clips just start playing? It may just be when you open a Youtube page in a background tab, but arguably 'prevent only autoplay' is most convenient if you're opening a few pages in tabs to buffer then view shortly. :)
Is this fixable?

Thanks for any thoughts or efforts,

I was waiting for a confirmation that I'm not the only on with this problem, but yeah, it happens to me sometimes too, which is a little annoying when you opened several videos in different tabs and you have to stop them.
Sometimes however, the video does start, but it's muted, which mean I have to un-mute it (and rewind it if it's not finished) before playing it of course.
I don't know what the cause of this could be though. It seems to be completely random. I tried to disable the option to display more comments, thinking that the delay caused by the loading of the comments could be the cause, but nope.
It doesn't happen too often fortunately, but it can be quite annoying when you opened a crapload of tabs. Doesn't make this script less awesome of course!

I don't use that option (I prefer the option to substitute the video with an icon), but it has never failed when I have used it. Can other people who use this feature frequently confirm this? Do you get any error in the error console?

I have the same problem, but i just tried to reproduce it with no luck... i will post the console error output if the problem appears again.
