Describe the feature you want

I think it would be better if the ripple animation is allowed to finish before opening the player. This would bring some uniformity to the UX and also hide poor loading times from the user, giving the impression of a smoother experience.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it

The ripple animation last for however long it takes the video stream to load. Sometimes it is allowed to finish animating, and sometimes it is cut off when the player opens, making it seem a bit janky.

Please, show a video of what you mean

[opusforlife2]

Screen recording frame rate is too low to be able to capture it. But if you try to reopen cached videos, you'll definitely encounter it on your first or second try. It is pretty noticeable.

I bought another phone and I see a ripple effect everywhere.
So you propose to wait before animation ends and only then to open a video screen? Isn't it a atrange that you want to look at animation more than on a video itself?

It's not like the animation takes ages. It's just fractions of a second. :P

Another place where this is very noticeable is when you tap on the logo to get the menu to switch between services. The animation never gets completed.

Alternate solution: Is it possible to replace the circle rippling outwards animation by a general 'highlighting' of the UI element? So instead of a circle spreading outwards, which can get stopped in the middle, it would just be a general fade in of a translucent white layer over the whole thumbnail, or something.

There's no ripple at all on newer Android versions.
