hey everyone! as of tonight we’ve pushed an update that should fix autoplaying audio/video in all of the situations that it occurs, whether triggered by Anti-Capitalism, Blacklist, or another third-party tool. thanks for sticking with us while we trudge waist deep together through the mire of code that comprises Tumblr. trust me—this was truly a sticky bug to unravel.
This update is part of XKit Patches version 6.4.0. You can update XKit Patches using the “Update All” button:
get at us with your feedback! we’re real humans with schedules and sleep cycles and occasionally jobs and stuff, but you can generally reach us in our ask box, our support blog, or our live support chat room. If nobody is online, you always can leave a message for us to read later.
Just a reminder because these posts are spreading farther then our usual audience: We’re a team of developers that run and maintain the New XKit project, a fork of XKit that was started after the original was abandoned in late 2014. New XKit is on version 7.7.1 (chrome, opera), 7.7.3 (firefox), or 7.7.2 (safari). Anything earlier then 7.6.x is old/original XKit, and you’ll need to disable it to install New XKit. (You can migrate your settings, but it’s a little involved—disable for now, and come ask us about it later)
some quick links for those of you who might not have New XKit already:
