There’s some weird bug going on with the video player for ads on mobile Chrome. As best I can describe it…
The player is getting detached from the preview image. I haven’t isolated when / what causes it, yet. Here’s a screen grab after it happens:
Note how the play icon (>) isn’t centered on the image anymore. It scrolls with the forum threads and the image is stationary in the back.
I’m running chrome 122.0.6261.90
Samsung s21 ultra with android 14, with all latest patches.
thanks. I think it must be the autoscrolling feature I built for desktop. I thought I had turned that code off for mobile - which I mostly seem to have - because the image doesn’t follow - but the player does.
I’ll see if I can figure out what’s going on and fix
Same chrome as you. i’m on Pixel 7 Pro with Android 14 and I’m not seeing this.
It doesn’t happen every time… And it seems to be related to the transition between clips. It always seems to happen at the end of one clip, right before loading the next one.
Also, I haven’t been able to reproduce it after the first loop through all clips. Could be coincidence… Dunno. I tried for about 30m last night to isolate it.
Also it seems to require scrolling at the moment of transition. I haven’t seen it happen if I just leave the browser static and let the videos play.
Man… Yesterday it happened a ton of times. It’s not limited to only when scrolling or the end of a video segment.
It might be related to video stream interruptions causing the player to pause.
