"Now Playing" stays in menu bar even when video has closed

Vlad

ForeverAl There will be an update once the issue is resolved. What is preventing it to be resolved is 2000 open issues, vast majority simply more important than this.

Vlad if sorted by upvotes in "Bugs" directory, this bug is on the first page. I'm curios, is the number of upvotes considered in dev team prioritization?

are you still able to reproduce this? I wasn't able to get the Now Playing to remain after closing the media (tested videos on this forum and YouTube)

Version 0.99.129.1.1-rc (WebKit 621.1.2.111.4)
Build date Nov 7 2024
MacBook Air (macOS Sequoia 15.1 build 24B83)

laiz did not see this until now. But I haven’t encountered it recently. Consider it fixed!

I still have this issue. Is the fix only in RC?

I opened this video last night, and I do not still have the tab open.

You're right, somehow the bug has managed to make its way back in.
If you have any concrete steps for reproducing the issue, please post them here. I'll keep an eye on the control center as well.

Steps:
If any Orion window is open, quit it.
Open a new Orion window.
Go to any site that plays media (YouTube, for example)
Start playing media
Close tab

Those steps alone do not lead to the media remaining in the control center on neither -beta nor -rc builds for me.
I tested the following combinations:

closing the tab when the video is playing
closing the tab when the video is paused
closing the tab when the video is playing and I have another tab active
closing the tab when the video is paused and I have another tab active
closing the tab when picture-in-picture is enabled and the video is playing
closing the tab when picture-in-picture is enabled and the video is paused

Updated steps:
If any Orion window is open, quit it.
Open a new Orion window.
Go to any site that plays media (YouTube, for example)
Start playing media
Open a new tab
Return to the tab playing media
Close tab playing media

Try it with this? That seems to guarantee that it occurs for me on a clean profile on Orion 0.99.130.2-beta, for me.

I would say that, yes, this bug seemed to have made it way back in. It was never properly fixed though. It just happened to get fixed by itself one day.

Not sure why or how it's back though.
