Videos keep stopping because of player (Spotify)?

@colyn1232 Already tried disabling extensions and using a clean profile as instructed?

The sidebar player pauses itself when a media starts playing on a tab and resume when it stops, not the other way around.

OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Version: LVL2 (core: 73.0.3856.415)

I have disabled the auto-pause setting, but when a new track starts, Youtube pauses. I have tested this with BBC's player too, same result. Please fix this issue because I like the player feature and I don't want to resort to creating another workspace for my music.

@leocg I've experienced the same thing, and I disabled my extensions and reset my profile. I can assure you that this is a legitimate bug, and this needs be addressed accordingly.

@leocg This bug is happening with Youtube Music as well through Opera's player. Videos are paused whenever a new song is played, even when the setting is turned off. The video gets paused when a new song is played, but the song isn't paused when the video is resumed.

@colyn1232 I know this is a little late, but if you still happen to be using Opera GX i just fixed this myself. Open a new tab and type "opera://flags" and then look for this flag and make sure to disable it, that worked for me (flag: global media controls seamless transfer)

This has been a bug for Months! I haven't been able to enjoy using the Player because videos and streams will pause after a new song plays.

A little work-around, which works for now I suppose: If you mute the tab in which the video is playing, Spotify will not pause the video after a new song begins to play.

An interesting interaction that I'm not sure was intended, given that this whole issue was ruled to be a bug by the community in the first place.

I've found another potential workaround.
Open the spotify app on your pc, then go back to the player on opera and look right next to your volume, you are able to connect to a device, choose your pc and spotify will be playing on your pc but you can control it from your player.
(my pc is called BOI)

Then just go to your pc icon tray, right click on spotify and click "minimise to tray" and you can still control spotify through opera without having the app in your taskbar!

Unfortunately, you cannot hover over your player icon and click play, back or next but for now it's a solution.

@colyn1232 You can stop this by unchecking this "Automatically pause playback when other media starts playing"

To get to this u wanna - go to player - in the top left you see spotify logo - click that arrow mark near it - then go to settings.

But this only works if you play your music then video
