Hey everyone,

does anyone know how I can deactivate background playback of videos? I don't want any video to keep playing when I close the app or switch off my phone's screen..

Thx in advance

It shouldn't happen without the addon "Video Background Play Fix". Did you activate it?

Hey, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I did not install nor activate said addon. Only addon I have installed is an adblocker. You think it's rather a bug than a feature?

Hi

Do you have an example of a video where this is a problem?

Any video on 9gag does this. YouTube on the other hand does not work.
