Bug 259149

Summary: [GStreamer] [GTK] HTML5 video playback is not stopped when closing the window containing a video file
Product: WebKit Reporter: Jeff Fortin <nekohayo>
Component: WebKitGTKAssignee: Nobody <webkit-unassigned>
Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME    
Severity: Normal CC: bugs-noreply, mcatanzaro, philn
Priority: P2    
Version: WebKit Local Build   
Hardware: PC   
OS: Linux   

Description Jeff Fortin 2023-07-12 10:18:40 PDT 
In Epiphany,

1. Right-click this link: https://studios.ecchi.ca/videos/texture.webm
2. "Open video in new window" (or open a new window and paste the link to the video file into it)
3. While the video is playing, close the window (with the X button, or Ctrl+W)

Result: video is still playing, or at least the sound is still playing.

This apparently does not affect tabs.

Tested with Epiphany 44.3 + WebKitGTK 2.40.3 + GStreamer 1.22.4 + Wayland on GNOME 44 on Fedora 38

Cannot reproduce this in MiniBrowser :)

Huh, I'm also unable to reproduce in MiniBrowser, but it does happen in Epiphany.

Although bugs like this are _usually_ problems in WebKit, this one might actually be an Epiphany bug. E.g. maybe the web view is somehow leaked. Jeff, can you report it on the Epiphany issue tracker please? (We can always move back here if it turns out to be a WebKit problem after all.)
