Description kde 2019-01-02 22:15:46 UTC

SUMMARY
Autoplay behaves erratically on Falkon, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- open autoplaying site like https://videojs.github.io/autoplay-tests/plain/attr/autoplay.html

OBSERVED RESULT
- video (or audio) plays automatically 5-10% of the time (guess)
You can hit F5 a few times until it plays, which is very strange.

EXPECTED RESULT
Either it should be enabled or disabled but not work randomly. There should be a setting in Falkon to enable/disable autoplay media.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 4.19.11
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.53.0
Qt Version: 5.12.0

Hello,
the Autoplay option is there.
Better to say it is in development (branch: master) version of Falkon, when built against Qt5.12.
It should appear in next release, when that will be is in the stars.

I've tried to replicate this on Falkon 3.1.0 but cannot using the video link provided.

Can you please retest and let us know if this is still an issue.
