Rutube - Block Autoplay

Userscript for browsers that prevents videos on Rutube from starting automatically. Works both on regular video pages and embedded players.

✨ Features

• Stops autoplay on Rutube video pages.
• Stops autoplay in embedded Rutube players.
• Overrides the native video.play() method to block the first automatic play attempt.

🚀 Installation

1. Install Tampermonkey (or another userscript manager).
2. Install the script from one of the mirrors:
   • GreasyFork
   • OpenUserJS
   • Or install directly from this repository.

⚙ How it works

• The script waits until a <video> element appears.
• It forces autoplay to false and removes the autoplay attribute.
• On the first call to video.play(), it rejects the promise to prevent autoplay. Any further manual play calls will work normally.
