How do I get Web Gnome browser (Epiphany) to play the next video (auto play next video)?


How do I get Web Gnome browser (Epiphany) to play the next video after the current one, I don't see an option for in Preferences (where is settings)? Where is the delete cookies option?

Thanks in advance

What version of Epiphany? They moved things around in recent versions...

You made me curious, and although I'd never used epiphany as a video player before, I gave it a try. I opened my videos folder in Epiphany (file:///home/username/Videos) and clicked on a video, and it played it! But when it was done, it did not play the next one in the folder. I then tried from command line specifying two videos (epiphany-browser video1.mp4 video2.mkv), but it opened both videos at the same time in different tabs! I didn't spend any longer trying to figure out a way to queue two videos, as I"m 99% sure this is not what you're asking about anyway, so maybe you should tell us what exactly you're trying to do in regards to playing videos.

version 3.38.2
Powered by WebKitGTK 2.38.2

Watching a set of videos in sequential order in a web site course (nothing to do with Youtube), after one video ends I would like it to jump to the next video in the course which it's supposed to do as your not meant to get out of you seat and click the next video(site is designed that way, works like that on firefox)

The only settings in the seem to be the preferences and keyboard shortcuts from the hamburger menu. Make sure in the preferences you scroll down to the bottom of that first tab to see all the preferences, and check the other tabs too. I don't see anything that might relate to your particular issue tho, but I'd still try disabling the web security and tracking prevention on the security tab and ad blocking and whatever, just as an experiment.

If that doesnt help you, maybe use flatpak to install the current version, and if it behaves the same and you can't find any setting to help, you could ask the experts in #gnome-epiphany on irc.libera.chat

I also wanted to know how to play the next video in a different website. I spent hours on this and then got frustrated because I couldn't find an answer.
