Using video player position slider in Fill Browser mode "breaks" that mode

By breaks it I mean this...

Two ways to recreate it:

One is if the video is already playing, switch to Fill Browser mode and try to move the playhead (or whatever it's called) - the video returns to what looks like its regular size, the site behind it hidden, and the video controls missing, as shown. The video can still be paused by clicking it.

The other is after the page loads, before initially clicking the play icon to trigger the player, set it to Fill Browser first then hit play - the same thing immediately happens, maybe suggesting it's not so much the slider as starting playback from any new position in Fill Browser mode.

That's with the browser window not maximized. If the browser window is maximized at the time it does the same sort of thing, but like this...

Unmaximizing the window returns it to the size shown in the first image.

• Windows 10 64-bit
• Screenshots taken in Firefox 56.0.2 64-bit and Vivaldi 1.12.955.48 (stable) 32-bit.
• No real extensions to speak off... Last Pass, an ad-blocker I disabled on GB in Vivaldi only and a Pop-up Blocker in FF, also disabled.

No console errors at the time it occurs. I feel like it's only been happening in the last day or two, but can't be sure.

The same thing has been happening to me for the past couple of days or so.

• Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
• Google Chrome 62.0.3202.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• Google Play Music, LastPass, Minimal Bookmark Tree, Reddit Enhancement Suite, Simple Speed Dial, SuperSorter, uBlock Origin (disabled)

Same thing happens to me. Only noticed it the last couple of days.

• Windows 10 64-bit
• Google Chrome 62.0.3202.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• uBlock and RSS Aggregator extensions

Same thing happening to me the last couple of days!

Mac OS 10.12.6
Firefox 56.0 64-bit

Just had that happen when I missed something on the latest bombcast and scrolled back.

• Windows 7 64-bit
• Google Chrome Version 62.0.3202.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• Adblock Plus is disabled
• HTTPS Everywhere is enabled
• Also have Giant Bomb Quality of Life extension enabled

Same.

• Windows 10
• Firefox 56 (64bit)

I'm not sure if this is related, but it started happening at the same time: minimizing Chrome will stop the video.

To recreate: pick a video, go into Fill Browser mode, begin playback, minimize Chrome!

It would seem Fill Browser mode has some issues at the moment?

Edit: the video also stops playing when simply switching back to the Giant Bomb tab. Not every time, but after maybe 10 or 15 minutes of playback if you switch back to the Giant Bomb tab the video stops. And with all of these issues it doesn't remember your position when you restart the video.

That's super wonky, sorry! We'll try to get it fixed.

Just adding to say that I am getting the same issue also:

Windows 10 64-bit
Google Chrome - version 61.0.3163.100

I'm getting same issue across a Windows 8 64-bit laptop and a Windows 7 64-bit desktop - both on the latest versions of Chrome. These issues started at roughly the same time as another issue I have posted about (iPhone with older iOS hanging on 'Loading Video...'). Both of these issues began after the extra life streams. As it stands, I don't have a platform that is working right. :(

Same issue. Windows 10. Firefox 56 (x86). Adblock is on. Turning it off doesn't make a difference.

Same issue in chrome.

Ah, thought I was the only one and came to post it here! Having the same issue as you guys, running Chrome (62.0.3202.89) on Windows 10 64-bit. Captured a GIF in case you guys need to see it.

Same issue with:

• HTML 5 & Progressive at all detail levels
• Chrome 62.0.3202.89 (64-bit)
• Windows 10 Enterprise (1703)

Same issue.

Windows 8.1 Pro

Vivaldi 1.10.867.28 32-bit

Using LastPass, rikaikun (disabled), Ublock Origin (Disabled), YouTube Link Title Greasmonkey script

The problem also occurs if I skip backwards when I'm in fill browser

I get the same issue:

Did all combinations of quality and HTML5 v Progressive.

I'm running Windows 10 Pro (1703) using Chrome

I'm seeing this too in Safari 11.0.1 on macOS 10.12.6 Sierra. Thanks in advance GB staff.

I don't know if we'll get this resolved this week but I'll make sure the engineers know about it for next week. At the moment the PS4/iOS Video Loading issues are taking priority. Sorry for the trouble!

While probably not useful to pile on after Rorie has acknowledged it but I will add to the data:

• Windows 10 Pro (64-Bit)
• Chrome 61.0.3163.100

Not completely broken as we can go to the normal video window, adjust and return; just annoying.

Also same issue; not a deal breaker since the video can just be restarted to fix it.

Windows 10 64 bit; Chrome Version 62.0.3202.94 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Same deal with me! A gif of it in action HERE

W10 64bit Version 63.0.3239.52 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)

Didn't work with standard chrome either. The video also resets if you move the slider in any direction. Happens in both Progressive and HTML options. This does not happen in full screen mode and only in the fill screen option.

Also getting this behaviour, Windows 10 64 bit, Chrome 62.0.3202.94

Not the biggest deal considering we can still scrub through in other modes, Cheers for the good work!

Same thing here in the latest version of Firefox, although my background is grey (I assume because I'm using the dark theme, yall are crazy for going white).

I’m glad I’m not the only one experiencing this. Though it was just me. Happening in the latest version of Chrome on Windows 10-64

I'm getting this same issue in Chrome on Windows 10 64 bit.

Seems good now. Assume there was an update. Thanks to whoever for whatever work was done :)
