Dark overlay staying on

[Numline1]

Hello!

First of all, thanks for all the great work done on Jellyfin! I've noticed an issue over the past few days since I started using this fork.

The modal popup overlay tends to stay on over the player in some situations. By overlay I mean the dark cover that appears when you perform an action in the player menu, like picking subtitle or displaying the 'stats for nerds'.

Example:

I've noticed this behaviour in both Safari and Chrome. In this case, I was watching a video for a few minutes, decided to pick English subtitles by clicking the "CC" button at the bottom. After i did that, the video started re-encoding, as it should, the series poster appeared and once the video started playing a few seconds later, the black overlay was there, as seen in the picture.

This dissapears after reload/reselecting the episode from home screen, which basically reloads the players/page.

I did some digging and found out which div causes the issue (it went away after I set "display: none" property on it, see screenshot below.

I hope it helps with debugging. Thanks in advance!

Curiously I used to get this on Emby too but I could never reliably reproduce it.

You are very correct, I couldn't reproduce this again, I assume there's something that doesn't close the backdrop div. Sadly, I'm clueless when it comes to C#, so that's all I can provide. I tried displaying some of the modals, like Stats for nerds or Playback settings, then changing the subtitle, but neither made it happen again :(

I doubt it has anything to do with c#, looks like purely frontend issue to me.

I'm not claiming it's an issue related to C# code, I'm just saying I have no idea how the templating and FE/BE connection works in this project :)

I have the same issue, for me it happens when turning off subtitles. I added this filter to adblocker which is an okay solution for now:

localhost##.withBackdrop.backgroundContainer-transparent.backgroundContainer

If someone can provide instructions that reliably produce this I can take a crack at it. I occasionally get it as well, but I haven't been able to find an exacerbating factor or reliable means of causing it.

[Numline1]

Not really? I didn't have that issue in a while. I feel like it was happening when I was on vacation by the end of 2018 with shitty internet. When I opened the "Stats for nerds" and the video started buffering, sometimes it stayed. Since I've been back home, the video never buffers, so that's probably why it stopped happening.

This might be a start, but I'm not sure whether this is the exact way of how to reproduce it or more of a anecdotal coincidence.

// + There's also a situation example in my original post. It probably has something to do with buffering and the overlay not going away afterwards.

Didn't this get fixed by #218?

@Bond-009 is correct
