HTML5 Video Tag

[paradoxondev]

What service is not compatible? (e.g. "Vimeo"): HTML5 Video Tag

Can you provide a link to a specific video where this has occurred? (i.e. can you provide the link where this happend?): every video opened direct in the browser

What is the exact problem that occurred? (e.g. "No sound detected" or "No video detected/icon is not green"): No video detected

What version of Skip Silence are you using? (i.e. 1, 2 or 3. You can find this information by opening the popup, it should be right in the title): 3

Problem is probably caused by having a source tag within an video tag instead of a src attribute.

Cannot reproduce. I've used this code:

<video controls>
      <source src="test.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

and it works.

I can reproduce this... Here is a nicer description of how to do it

1. Install Skip Silence in a fresh Chrome browser via the Chrome Web Store
2. Open https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/ElephantsDream.mp4
3. Click the extension
4. No audio is displayed and silence is not skipped.

Here's what it looks like for me: https://i.imgur.com/Fu2GQwb.mp4

Very interesting, still can't reproduce it with the exact link you provided: https://imgur.com/a/U7XsuGP

Could you please open the console to see if there are any errors thrown by the extension?

[pal03377]

Wow, that's really strange 🤔

There are no error logs in the console:

I'll try to download and install the development version from the repository now and see if I can get more info out of this.

Heyy, I fixed it and it now works locally! The extension didn't search for media elements, as DOMContentLoaded event was already fired before it was loaded and the check about whether the event was already fired was incomplete. I completed it in this PR.

Thank you for researching this and making the PR!
