just in case someone from Amazon owned Twitch.tv reads this in the future

First issue is that it shows the controls for the video, and allows you to click on them and shows you them as clicked or changed, but when the video loads it resets them.

So if you want to reduce VOLUME or mute things before video loaded. Give it a try, looks like it works, nope, too bad, it's reset. Same with the PAUSE button. Nope, it will fool you into thinking you have paused it but it will actually autoplay the video. Basic essential functionality in a video player rendered useless.

Secondly is the Setting menu to reduce / change quality or speed up the video. Here menu items load in after the menu is first open, even after the video has loaded. So you go to change something useful but nope you accidentally click the report button or something. You literally have to open the menu, wait a couple of seconds and then you can click on the option you want.

Now there was a similar issue with stuff not loaded, underneath the video player, where the user would click something near the follow/unfollow but they would accidentally unfollow the user. Now they added a confirm dialog, so at least that's an improvement.
