Bug 169675 – [Modern Media Controls] Captions do not default to Auto when language is changed

• Component: Media
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Antoine Quint]

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Make sure the captions mode is set to “Auto” (open a video in QuickTime Player and select Auto in captions menu)
2. Go to System Preferences -> Language & Region, and change the system language to French
3. Play a video with French captions, and open the captions menu

Results:
The captions menu shows that the French subtitles are selected. It should show that Auto is selected.

as discussed on irc, you should be able to create a test for this with internals.setUserPreferredLanguages().

I thinks this would be slightly easier to follow if you return immediately if host is null:

if (!host)
    return trackItem.mode !== "disabled";

if (trackItem === host.captionMenuOffItem && (host.captionDisplayMode === "forced-only" || host.captionDisplayMode === "manual"))
    return true;

if (trackItem === host.captionMenuAutomaticItem && usesAutomaticTrack)
    return true;

return trackItem.mode !== "disabled";

or:

if (host && trackItem === host.captionMenuOffItem && (host.captionDisplayMode === "forced-only" || host.captionDisplayMode === "manual"))
    return true;

if (host && trackItem === host.captionMenuAutomaticItem && usesAutomaticTrack)
    return true;

return trackItem.mode !== "disabled";

Nit: this variable is no longer necessary.

It is necessary in case the track that we’re querying the selected state for is neither Off or Auto but we should be selecting auto.
