First few seconds of videos dimmed (mander.xyz)

So is this Thunder itself or some app it is deferring to whose config I should look at?

Basically videos start out dim for a few seconds until the video controls fade out. This means the first few seconds of every video are basically unwatchable, and with short videos this is all or most of the video. For example https://lemmy.world/post/17884719

Hi @blackbrook@mander.xyz, is it possible that you could show a screen recording of the issue you're seeing? I'm wondering if you're seeing the playback controls (play/pause/seek/etc). These appear over the video at the very beginning and have a dimmed background so you can see the controls. This is pretty standard for video players (e.g. YouTube does the same). As @MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub said, you can tap anywhere to hide the controls and undim the video.

Yes, that's exactly what is is. Thanks.
