Bug 184911 – RTCRtpSender.replaceTrack(null) ends current track

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebRTC

According to the spec, adding and then removing a track from a RTCPeerConnection can be done as follows:

let pc = new RTCPeerConnection();
let sender = pc.addTrack(track, stream);

// Negotiate,...

sender.replaceTrack(null);



This works fine on Chrome and Firefox. On Safari however, the call to replaceTrack() stops the track entirely, setting readyState to "ended" (but interestingly, not calling the onended callback). This makes it impossible to use this method to remove a track that is still used elsewhere. This is problematic, especially since pc.removeTrack(track) is buggy as well: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174327


This example should demonstrate the issue: https://jsfiddle.net/vt55wx9u/4/.
