Your mama may have had eyes in the back of her head, but our admin team just can't see everything at once. It takes a village to make sure TVTropes is running the way it should, so when it comes to spotting tech snafus, dreaming up a better digital mousetrap, or just diagnosing plain old asshattery, the quicker you let us know something's up, the quicker we can address it. See a bug? Point to it and we'll squash it. Have idea for a new feature? Post in the Tech Wishlist.
NOTE: Do not post duplicate bug queries, please check existing queries to see if your issue has already been reported and then comment on it.
Having the same issue, the video plays without sound (audio and video play normally when clicking on it).
I've been having this issue too. Turning off-and-on the "Stop Auto-Play" setting doesn't seem to work.

Having the same issue. I tried hard-refreshing the pages between turning the setting on and off, but it didn't do anything.

Also had that issue.
I noticed my stop auto-play seems to turn off on its own every few days. But it's the first time it kept auto playing regardless of being on/off.

I noticed the issue two or three days ago, I've tried changing the setting multiple times and videos will just autoplay no matter which I set it to.
Why is video autoplay the default, anyway? It apparently invites issues like this and you still need to actually click on the video to get the sound regardless.
So it's not just me! I thought it was just my browser, and I really do not want to have to switch browsers again (I'm already jumping between them). I had to use a browser extension to stop the autoplay, but that causes problems on other websites.
Oh, that's a good point. Different browsers might be different. I'm on Firefox, if it matters.
Just this morning, the video player has been modified and the video now automatically restarts once it completes its run-through. There is an option in your profile to "Stop Auto-play Video" which is supposed to "stop videos in articles from playing automatically". I turned this option on, but nothing happens; the video STILL restarts and plays automatically after it ends, and it still plays when viewing it on the page. Please can you fix this?
