## Problem/Question

When I changed the refresh status setting from “playing” to “force play”, there was no problem. But when I refresh the page, the refresh state switches back to “playing”. such as pictures

## What I expected to happen

Even when I refresh the page, the refresh state setting remains “force play”

(netdata v1.33 is able to keep the refresh state setting, such as pictures)

This could be a site error or bug. Refresh and check.

Sorry, I refresh the netdata page again and again, and the "force play” switch to the “playing” every time.😥

Maybe this is the new netdata version 1.42.1’s BUG
