The green bar is not working properly

Bugs
#1

I cannot click the Play / Pause button and I cannot fast-forward the movie while watching netflix on w2g. A friend of mine can do this and I have lost this function for some time.

Thanks for your feedback. Which browser are you using? What happens if you click on “Pause” just nothing?

#3

I am using OperaGX. A few weeks ago everything was fine, but recently I can’t use the green control bar at the top while watching together. I can pause the movie or rewind it manually without using the green bar function, but it only affects my movie and not my friend’s. A friend of mine can use the green bar function, and I am the founder of the room.

Thanks! Can you try to uninstall our extension reinstall it from here: Watch2Gether - Chrome Web Store

Does that change anything?

#5

Yesterday I also installed a plug-in and cleaned my browser cookies. Today I did it again via the link mentioned above.

#6

And it did not change anything? What happens if you try to run the site in Chrome (just for testing).

#7

I installed google chrome, everything works there. I uninstalled and installed opera, reinstalled the plug, it doesn’t work.

#8

Thanks a lot. So it seems to be an incompatibility with Opera. I’ll try to reproduce this next week and see if i can find a fix. Thanks for reporting this!

I just double checked it and the extension works fine with the regular Opera browser. Will have to check GSX though…

I am using Opera GX. I just discovered something. When I press the “open” button and the watch window (netflix) opens, I cannot use the green control bar. When I zoom the video in the upper right corner to the full image, I still can’t use this feature. But when I press the “F11” key, which is responsible for opening the browser in full screen, then I can use this function norl just like before. I don’t know what it depends on, but for now I will use it like that. (If you want, I can record the screen to show what I mean in more detail.)

Thanks a lot for the update. I will setup GX in Windows and give it a try. Do you have the regular Opera browser installed as well? If yes, do you see the same issue there?

#12

Just to add, I have the same issue on Opera GX, tried reinstalling and nothing. Haven’t tried in another browser, but the green bar can’t be paused or moved

#13

Thanks for your feedback! I can confirm this issue now and it seems to affect both Opera and Opera GX. I will try to fix it tomorrow and roll out an update through the web store. As a workaround you can use the player controls in the Watch2Gether window. They should work as expected.

#14

Please make sure to update the extension to version 8.5 - the issue should be fixed now!

yes… but now I can’t see the green bar! I mean I can’t see it, it just opens a new tab, which does not have green bar. I reinstalled the extension as well, and I’m using Opera GX

#16

From where did you install the extension?

#17

I already had it installed. For like 4 months. Suddenly happened and I reinstalled it from I always get it:

#18

I tried on Chrome, downloaded the extension there and worked, so only happens on Opera GX for me

#19

Can you check in Opera GX if the version of the extension is 8.5?

#20

Yes, I’ve just checked, and I did not change anything between yesterday and today, but it suddenly is working today
