Description of the issue:
Tested with YouTube videos, whether Auto-Play is enabled or disabled in the settings, the videos will always auto-play when the browser is opened and then the Playlist is opened.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Make sure Auto-Play is turned off in the Playlist settings
Add a YouTube vide to Playlist
Close the browser.
Open the browser.
Go to Playlist and the video will auto-play
Expected result:
For Playlist to not auto-play videos when opening.
Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.34.1 (22.1.20.22)
Mobile Device details

@Go-go_duck ,
Might you help “fred1”, here?
I do not use Playlist nor Auto-Play (meaning, it is always OFF)
Auto-Play - iOS setting on iPhone is:
Settings > Playlist > Auto-Play (there, is an ON / OFF switch)
No Permissions feature / settings
No Extensions feature
There is a “Private Browsing Only” switch:
Settings > Brave Shields & Privacy > OTHER PRIVACY SETTINGS > Private Browsing Only (ON / OFF switch)
@fred1 is using an iPad, and it has different real estate (I imagine); so, his Brave Browser settings are likely to have more features.
My apologies, @Go-go_duck , for bothering you with this iOS issue.

fred1,
At first, the issue seemed to me, at least, to be something that your Brave Browser settings might resolve.
Because I am not a regular video observer, I thought that @Go-go_duck (who seems to know about video), might be able to help you.
But now, unless you can fix the issue by using the Brave Browser for iOS “Clear Data Now” function . . . followed by quitting everything on your iPad and performing a full Restart as recommended by Apple:
“https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/force-restart-ipad-ipad9955c007/ipados ”
. . . then you have indeed discovered a bug, and possibly @Mattches (Brave Support) can help.

Brave Browser issue at GitHub - Sept. 26, 2021:
opened 06:34PM - 26 Sep 21 UTC

(Please note: not tested on Android)
Please note issues that are / seem to / mi… ght be related, at the bottom under 'Misc'.
PLEASE USE THE TEMPLATE BELOW TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ISSUE.
INSUFFICIENT INFO WILL GET THE ISSUE CLOSED. IT WILL ONLY BE REOPENED AFTER SUFFICIENT INFO IS PROVIDED-->
## Description
With Autoplay set to 'blocked', many (yet not all) sites are
1. not even playing any media (audio/video) based on user input, at least not properly, i.e. when the user clicks 'Play', it is simply ignored (or cancelled).
2. also blocked from 'go to next file', in playlists.
## Steps to Reproduce
**EDIT: added telling example on radiorecord.ru.**
1. Ignoring user input:
A. Go to an affected site (YT for example is NOT affected by this), for example radio.net, or vimeo.com. Twitch is another funky example, as is **radiorecord.ru**.
B. Click 'Play'. In the case of **radiorecord.ru**, click another genre while another one is still playing.
C. ISSUE: the content does not play (not at all i.e. is fully unresponsive or loads indefinitely, or might not play until user clicks pause and then play once again; either way, content is somehow 'overblocked' or at least not 'cleverly blocked'). On Twitch, the sound gets disabled and re-engaging it stops video playback. On **radiorecord.ru**, the second genre refuses to play (unless the first one is PAUSED!!); the intitial genre does not trigger the Autoplay 'Blocked' setting, at all, but the switch to another genre does trigger it, and incorrectly ignores user input ('Play').
2. Playlists
A. Go to (an affected?) site with playlists, e.g. a Youtube or bandcamp.com.
B. Open a Playlist (site with multiple 'pre-loaded' pieces of content ordered for continuous playback).
C. Click Play.
D. ISSUE: insofar part 1 of this issue is not triggered, the file plays, but the next one does not. Having to click Play for every part of a playlist defeats its purpose!
## Actual result:
All scenarios: (immediate) playback is blocked (see 'ISSUE' under repro steps for details).
## Expected result:
1. Playback should work
2. 'Automatic' playback in playlist should potentially be allowed (probably more a feature request than a bug - maybe split?)
## Reproduces how often:
100% - depending on specific site content playback technologies, and how the Brave protocols (do not) handle these, exactly.
## Brave version (brave://version info)
Version 1.29.81 Chromium: 93.0.4577.82 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Win10 Home 19042.1237
## Version/Channel Information:
...
## Other Additional Information:
No issue with Autoplay off.
Shields do not seem to make a (bug) difference.
**Chome repro TBD**
## Miscellaneous Information:
A few (potentially / somewhat) related issues, maybe this helps. Any linkage we could/should do?

Looks like I can reproduce this issue as well. I’ve reached out to our iOS team about the issue to see if it’s known. If not I will open an issue on our Github for tracking.

### Description:
When you add a video(s) to your Brave Playlist, if the autoplay option in `Settings --> Playlist --> Autoplay` is set to "disabled", videos will autoplay anyway. My assumption here is that having the option toggled off, that no saved videos should play until the user elects to do so.
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Make sure Auto-Play is turned off in the Playlist settings
2. Add a YouTube vide to Playlist
3. Go to Playlist
**Actual result:**
Videos will autoplay
**Expected result:**
Video should not autoplay
**Reproduces how often:** [Easily reproduced, Intermittent Issue]
Always
**Brave Version:**
v1.34.1
**Device details:**
iPhone/iPad
**Website problems only:**
- did you check with Brave Shields down? N/A
- did you check in Safari/Firefox (WkWebView-based browsers)? N/A
