Buffer animation circle in video player never disappears on Chrome

[ROBERT-MCDOWELL]

Describe the current behavior

this new issue is on chrome 115.0.5790.171 only, does not appear on firefox nor edge.

whatever I play, scrub, forward or rewind, the wait cicle never disappear. no javascript errors.
on the stats nerd, the buffer progress reaches a max of 1.6%, maybe is it the issue?

Can you try with chrome 116?

I can confirm this issue with the buffer spinner when using Brave browser version 1.57.53 (Chromium: 116.0.5845.114). While the video plays correctly, the buffer spinner remains on screen and doesn't disappear. I noticed this problem today, likely after an automatic update from Brave. Notably, this issue does not occur when I use Firefox.

As a temporary solution, I've implemented the following workaround in my custom CSS settings:

.vjs-loading-spinner {
    display: none !important;
}

I'm running PeerTube 4.1.1 by the way.
