I had an extension disabling autoplay of HTML5 videos to stop all the autoplay ads, and that's what broke cinema for meBug report template - if you want anyone to take this seriously.
Unfortunately various factors have rendered the cinema nothing more than a decorative building in towns for me for a number of years now, but most people don't comment on it so I assume it still worked for the majority. It's nice for an energy or motivation top up on occasion, so I hope players aren't being denied this as a feature.
