Bug 56316 – Stalled media elements don't stop delaying the load event

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Media

[Joseph Pecoraro]

If a media element is stalled, or doesn't load without user interaction, the
media element should stop deferring the (window's) load event.

The spec does also say:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/video.html#concept-media-load-resource

> "When a user agent decides to completely stall a download, e.g. if it is
> waiting until the user starts playback before downloading any further
> content, the element's delaying-the-load-event flag must be set to false."

There are a number of points we can stall that seem to be affected:

  • super early, after load start but before getting meta data (or any data if user required).
  • early, after meta data but before real data

The spec also says:

> When a user agent decides to completely stall a download, e.g. if it is waiting
> until the user starts playback before downloading any further content, the
> element's delaying-the-load-event flag must be set to false. This stops
> delaying the load event.

Sorry about the double paste.
