In the jerboa app the video plays automatically, but i can’t see a way to pause the video, just a mute button.

I’ve never seen a video play like this in the Jerboa app, so i’m guess this was that update earlier this week?

Have i missed something? Is there a pause function, or something in settings that stops the autoplay?

    Stopping autoplay wouldn’t work so well for the feed video component. If you have to interact to see the video play, you might as well open it in the videoplayer. Maybe adding a disable “video display in feed” option would be a better idea.

      Yeah, i’s leaning towards a feature in the settings as the better option.

      I had a look for something like that in the settings, but i didn’t notice one. Did i miss it?

      Judging by your username, the video was part of your update last week? Cool update, hadn’t considered videos in the feed as an option Jerboa could have. Cheers. :)

          Yes indeed, I don’t mind the autoplay on my tablet when I’m at home on my WiFi, but I’d really like to disable the video autoplay on my phone to conserve cellular data usage.

          Thanks for the feature though, I’m looking forward to the next Jerboa update!
