Make sure you're not opening a file that you opened before. If you opened before then it resumes from last time (can be disabled in settings > playback) and is paused.
You are right, the behavior described here only occurs when I open a file that I opened before. However, this behavior seems a bit confusing to me. I think that no video should open paused when 'Auto load videos from same folder' is unchecked and 'Remember time position' is checked.
(In reply to Patrick Silva from comment #2) > I think that no video should open paused when 'Auto load videos from same > folder' > is unchecked and 'Remember time position' is checked. I don't see why you think those 2 options are related. Video opens paused because, if I open a video I stopped watching, I don't want it to start playing until I'm ready (made the window fullscreen, got comfortable), else I might have to seek back.
ok, I see now, 'Auto load videos from same folder' has nothing to do with paused video on opening. I understand your use case. But I only open a video if I'm ready to watch it, and possibly other users behave in the same way. It would be nice if paused video on opening was optional even when 'Remember time position" is checked.

Pushed by georgefb into branch 'master'. feat: add setting to start playback when resuming a file and some other things Renamed the resumePlayback setting to "seekToLastPosition" to be more clear about what it does New setting only works when the "seekToLastPosition" setting is enabled Removed the "Startup" label as it only applied to one setting and was causing confusion about other settings Related: bug 453710 M +3 -4 src/qml/MpvVideo.qml M +26 -10 src/qml/Settings/PlaybackSettings.qml M +4 -1 src/settings/playbacksettings.kcfg https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/haruna/commit/3d1ec4b33ed7c5f020a5f9064213e94a4bedbb06
