That’s not actually the solution, by the way (disabling experimental video player).
Disabling it, I still have to shuffle between Convert Automatically and Direct Play before a video will even load on the original/normal video player - and there’s no logic behind it because you constantly have to toggle it onto the opposite of what you have set, for every new video you open…
With experimental, the video doesn’t load no matter what.
The best workaround so far as been disabling automatic refresh rate.
But, that’s a workaround and not a solution as it removes functionality to fix a bug.
