Volume Control Disappears When Using Blink (Chromium) Based Browsers

Summary

When using a browser that is based on the Blink rendering engine (ie. Chromium based), videos that are using the Minds video player fail to display volume control.

Steps to reproduce

Access the following URLs within a Blink based browser.

Platform information

Tested with:

• Chromium (x86_64 - v79.0 - Blink)
• Opera (x86_64 - v65.0 - Blink)
• Brave (x86_64 - v1.0.1 - Blink)
• Firefox (x86_64 - v70.0 - Quantum)
• Midori (x86_64 - v69.0 - Webkit)

Firefox and Midori works fine. Chromium, Brave and Opera fails. Suspect that all Blink / Chromium based browsers are affected with this issue.

What is the current bug behavior?

Volume control appears and then suddenly disappears, which results in no access to said control / UI element.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Volume control / UI element should be accessible

Possible fixes

Suspect possible CSS issue. Possibly caused by a stylestyle that contains something similar to the following code: .element{display:none;}

Alternatively, some php or javascript issue which results in the above outcome.
