SUMMARY

When watching anime on aniwave.to, I noticed that my media player (in this case, VidSrc.to) was not saving state between reloads, specificially volume levels. Every time I refrehed the page or clicked on the next episode, the volume would automatically be muted no matter what the player was set to prior to reload. I did some digging and found the Plasma Browser Integration plugin was causing the issue. I disabled the "Enable media controls on:" for the following sites:

https://aniwave.to
https://disqus.com
https://vid2a41.site

This fixed my issues, and now the player remembers my volume levels on reloads.



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Play media on 9anime.to, or presumably any website that has VidSrc embedded.
2.  Refresh page or select a different video
3. Observe volume levels not being "remembered" between reloads
4. Disable Plasma Browser Integration Extension
5. Refresh page
6. Observe saved volume state between reloads

OBSERVED RESULT

Video is muted every time I refresh or reload the embedded player despite prior volume settings

EXPECTED RESULT

Remember the volume levels between reload
