This unblocked me from playing the videos. However, it would be great if below problems can be resolved.
1) It conflicts with unhook. Videos fail to play or constantly play one scene in loop.
Even if i disable unhook
2) minimize button in the player control is missing even if I chose "display player control."
3) can't play videos in the queue, although I can add vids to the queue.
UPDATE:
note: using plunger on brave. downloaded from chrome web store.
I played around with unhook and plunger, and the min button is now visible.
1) however, returning to normal screen size stops videos.
2) I then have to click the red "play" button in the middle of the screen to play videos from the beginning.
3) also, minimize button is invisible again
4) refreshing the page brings back the min button.
The annoying part is that I would have to fresh the page every time I return to normal screen size after minimizing. I also have to restart the video from the beginning by manually pressing the play button.
