Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete.html Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#video Comment: we should have a media element best practices section Posted from: 216.239.45.4 by ian@hixie.ch
For example: - when you're done with a video, it's good practice to release resources by removing src="" and <source> and calling load(). - when implementing the 'buffered' API, how precise you are is a quality of implementation issue, but it's better to be conservative than optimistic (i.e. don't say you've buffered everything when you haven't). - you can drop buffered data at any time - when a media element is removed from a document and not reinserted by the time the event loop spins, it's a good time to release all hardware resources (like video planes, networking, buffer)
