I have narrowed down the YouTube video playback problem. When I thought the video was not playing back, it was actually that the video was dimmed so much that I could not see the playback.
So, it's rather difficult to put into words but, essentially, when a non-VoiceOver user stops or starts a video using the on-screen controls, the video dims, for a few seconds, which makes the controls easier to see. After the controls are activated, the video brightens to its normal level. When VoiceOver is enabled, and the controls are activated, the video remains dimmed during playback. It's really that simple. Strangely enough, advertisements that may precede the target video do not have this problem because they do not dim during playback. This, as I have asserted since the beginning, has to do with the screen refreshing when VoiceOver is enabled.

To begin with VoiceOver not reading the duration of videos on the start screen anymore in the app. It seems to be a graphic which VO can’t read. Two finger double tap to start and stop content from playing seems to work just randomely but should be consistent. Beside VO related issues stop videos in the app from autoplaying seems only to work on the start tap. I disabled autoplay but it doesn’t work for videos in downloads or watch later playlist. In these lists autoplay is still turned on and there’s no button to uncheck it.. And last but not least for me it would be wonderful to have a sleep timer in the app itself All the best Jürgen > Am 29.09.2018 um 03:03 schrieb M.
