Bug 43529 – [Qt] can't replay a video via Phonon

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: Media

[SH]

I installed ogg codec and tested html5 video tag using QtWebKit on Window XP.
A html below works once although loop attribute is in.

<video width="720" height="480" controls loop="loop">
    <source src="animation_effect.ogv" />
</video>

And if a play button is pressed after finishing play, a video does not replay.

This makes no sense, please change it (and the bug title) to something relevant.

> +        No new tests. (OOPS!)

Oops indeed, it should be easy to make a manual test for this. If you cannot (or this is already covered by an existing test), please change the above line to say "No new test because $REASON"

r- because of the lack of test. Change itself looks reasonable.

This should be handled by the following snippet from HTMLMediaElement::playInternal()

 if (endedPlayback()) {
        ExceptionCode unused;
        seek(0, unused);
    }

Why isn't it?

Also, the test should be in the form of a layout-test if there are none testing for this case (there should be).

FYI the phonon backend is not really maintained, you'd be better off looking at the QtMultimedia backend and helping out there.

I'm closing the bug because the author didn't came back and our focus is QtMultimedia support.
