1655802 - (PiP) Picture-in-Picture toggle not clickable on Twitch if extension with overlay is used

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Picture-in-Picture, defect, P3)

Description

[Sebastian Kaspari (:sebastian; :pocmo)]

Whenever a Twitch stream is using a Twitch extension with an overlay (exposing additional UI on top of the stream) then the Picture-in-Picture toggle is not clickable.

Have you found a workaround for this issue?

Using the keyboard shortcut (cmd option shift ] on mac) often works for me. Sometimes it does not. Pressing it right after the page has loaded works most often.

i've found that if u pause the stream, the PiP button becomes clickable. it should then open as usual & u can resume the stream 😊

I was searching for a solution to PiP in Twitch, and i finally found this video

It not so elegant but it works 100%
..at least no need for extensions to install :)

If you open dev tools (right click, inspect) then the pip button works.

Looks like PictureInPictureChild.jsm does not even get a pointerdown event when clicking on the transparent iframe overlay over the video.
i.e. I don't see the event arriving here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/68a5327697ec43aa55b458c504c4b313c9c80528/toolkit/actors/PictureInPictureChild.jsm#333

Sounds related to bug 1543805. Might even be an exact dupe.

Yes, I think it's a dupe. I wanted to see if I can write a quick site intervention to address this. But looks like the fix is much more complex than that.

Ah, yes. I suspect bug 1539652 is probably the way forward here.

Might be a dupe of bug 1761351 and/or bug 1757772.

This issue still occurs on the latest versions. Revalidated on videos with the "Decktracker extension for Firestone".
