#LBRY is cool and all, but the LBRY-desktop client is fucking garbage and should not default to auto-play. Very frequently the app breaks and reverts itself to default setting. Then it will auto-play from a video I just finished watching even after navigating somewhere else. It also uses a shit ton of memory for no good reason because it's a fucking electron app.

@Piejacker875 is the app up-to-date? I have been using it for more than 6 months and I didn't face any crashes or setting resets. I use the official appimage. Memory is still an issue though it keeps growing if the app is open for a couple of days, but I usually shutdown my system everynight so it hasn't been much of a pain. I don't think there are any alternative clients yet.

@Piejacker875 flatpaks are great and I wish it is the official distribution method for @lbry but sadly as of now it is not. Give the official appimage a try maybe it will fix those setting reset issues.
