Summary

When using a browser that is based on the Blink rendering engine (ie. Chromium based), videos that are using the Minds video player fail to display volume control.

Steps to reproduce

Access the following URLs within a Blink based browser.

Platform information

Tested with:

• Chromium (x86_64 - v79.0 - Blink)
• Opera (x86_64 - v65.0 - Blink)
• Brave (x86_64 - v1.0.1 - Blink)
• Firefox (x86_64 - v70.0 - Quantum)
• Midori (x86_64 - v69.0 - Webkit)

Firefox and Midori works fine. Chromium, Brave and Opera fails. Suspect that all Blink / Chromium based browsers are affected with this issue.

What is the current bug behavior?

Volume control appears and then suddenly disappears, which results in no access to said control / UI element.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Volume control / UI element should be accessible

Possible fixes

Suspect possible CSS issue. Possibly caused by a stylestyle that contains something similar to the following code: .element{display:none;}

Alternatively, some php or javascript issue which results in the above outcome.

Works fine for me using Firefox

Fails on Chromium: The volume control appears for a instant or so, then disappears.

Happening for me in Chromium also. How very strange. I assume this is an issue with the player we have in now, Plyr.

There appears to be a workaround for this that I am going to attempt, but have dropped a comment on Plyr's GitHub to see if this is indeed the same issue and if there are unpublished fixes.
