1489245 - SUSPEND_MEDIA_WHEN_INACTIVE not working in Focus / 62 Rel Branch

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(GeckoView :: Media, defect, P1)

Description

[Emily Kager [:ekager]]

Added settings.setBoolean(GeckoSessionSettings.SUSPEND_MEDIA_WHEN_INACTIVE, true) to GeckoSession create method, but when app is backgrounded media is still playing. Maybe something additional needs to be uplifted for it to work because apparently it works in FxR (Nightly builds)?

[James Willcox (:snorp) ([e-mail]) (he/him)]

Kevin, can you try this in the example app with 62?

Comment 2

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

Kevin will test whether the geckoview_example app exhibits the same behavior.

This is not a Focus+GV blocker, but it is a functional regression from Focus+WebView.

This works as expected, audio and video playback are paused when the app is not in focus, in the geckoview example app using.

Clearing status flags because this bug was resolved invalid.

Comment 5

[Emily Kager [:ekager]]

I think this is still a problem see:
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android/issues/3528

I can reproduce using SoundCloud

Comment 6

[Kevin Brosnan [Ex-Mozilla]]

Using Geckoview example soundcloud stops playback onBlur. This seems to be a Focus issue.

Comment 7

[David Bolter [:davidb] (NeedInfo me for attention)]

Only affects 62... will let this fade.

Comment 8

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

Moving some media bugs to the new GeckoView::Media component.
