Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-video-element.html Multipage: http://www.whatwg.org/C#sourcing-out-of-band-text-tracks Complete: http://www.whatwg.org/c#sourcing-out-of-band-text-tracks Comment: The cues don't seem to be cleared when setting a new src="". Posted from: 88.131.66.80 by simonp@opera.com User agent: Opera/9.80 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7.3; U; en) Presto/2.10.229 Version/11.62
What we've implemented is to clear the cues synchronously when setting a new source, but to start loading asynchronously. Unless this is silly, this is what we'd like to have spec'd.
Please spec this as prose outside the loading algorithm, saying something like "When the src attribute is set, changed, or removed, all cues in the track element's TextTrack's TextTrackCueList object must be removed." (Doing it in the loading algorithm at the monitoring step means that if you change src, add a cue, and change src again, that cue won't be dropped, because the algorithm has moved on to the waiting step, which doesn't match my expectation or what Philip implemented.)
This bug was cloned to create bug 18181 as part of operation convergence.
