I have been experiencing various issues with the userscript when using it.

  • I have had cases where the 2nd ad did not get muted.
  • I have had cases where I have to press play to get the video playing after the ad has been skipped.
  • I have had cases where the video stay muted after the ad had played out.

My settings:
Mute ads: Checked
Hide video ads: Checked
Banner ad close delay (seconds): 0
Video ad skip delay (seconds): 0
Don't skip ad shorter than this (seconds) : 0
Mute video even if not skipping: Checked
Show extra debug information: Checked

Is there a recommended settings or is there something that I should look out from the console?

I've noticed this happening occasionally, but recently it has been more reliable for me than in the past... To be honest I've never been annoyed enough to look into how to fix it. Especially since it's not a consistent issue making it hard to pinpoint a fix. I may try to put some preventative measures in place and see if it makes a difference.

I have had cases where I have to press play to get the video playing after the ad has been skipped.

I have never experienced this one. What browser/userscript manager do you use?
I've mostly used safari with the aptly named "userscripts" extension, and Firefox with violent monkey.

I haven't run into this one either 🤔

I am using Tampermonkey on OperaGX.

Is there a diagnostic log thing I can send here that can help you in diagnosing the issue?

Update: I may have a lead on the having to press play for the video to play, I think it has something to do with changing video and removing old wait on the console log and waiting for ads.
