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 ================================================================================ #1 Philip J 2012-05-23 08:24:50 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. ================================================================================ #2 Simon Pieters 2012-05-23 09:47:37 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.) ================================================================================

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Accepted Change Description: https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/4fa62833aaf76632345c917268f0c47aa82c5bcf Rationale: Adopted WHATWG resolution Now reads: + <p>Whenever a <code>track</code> element has its <code + title="attr-track-src">src</code> attribute set, changed, or + removed, the user agent must synchronously empty the element's + <span>text track</span>'s <span>text track list of cues</span>. + (This also causes the algorithm above to stop adding cues from the + resource being obtained using the previously given URL, if any.)</p>
