Description

When "Custom Miniplayer" is ON, embedded YouTube videos on third-party sites require a double-click to start playing. The first click only opens the miniplayer instead of playing the video.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Enable "Custom Miniplayer" in extension settings
  2. Go to a third-party site with an embedded YouTube video (e.g., news articles)
  3. Click on the embedded video
  4. Observe that it opens the miniplayer instead of playing
  5. Click again to actually play
Expected behavior

Video should play with a single click, even with Custom Miniplayer enabled.

Environment

All third-party sites with YouTube embeds

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with Custom Miniplayer enabled on a third-party site containing an embedded YouTube video. Trace the miniplayer click handling and embedded-video playback path; done means a single click both starts playback and avoids requiring a second click.
