Bug 1755748 - Keep PiP tabs in active state. r=#pip-reviewers!
48 bytes, text/x-phabricator-request
Details | Review

STR

  1. Enable the pref media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.display-text-tracks.enabled
  2. Go to a video on Youtube and ensure captions are enabled
  3. Open PiP
  4. Switch to another tab and observe caption text in PiP window

Expected

Caption text should display without delay in PiP window

Actual

There seems to be a delay when displaying captions. This is more obvious when audio is playing. Sometimes the displayed caption seems to be "stuck" until you switch back to the original tab, which allows the captions to "catch-up" with what's shown in the original video.

Severity: -- → S2

(5 points is a low-confidence estimate; if this is specifically related to the YouTube tab going into a background state, it might be quite difficult to fix)
