This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/video.html Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#mediaevents Comment: suspend event "Dispatched when..." is incorrect Posted from: 83.218.67.122 User agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; en) Presto/2.8.115 Version/11.10
The description is "The user agent is intentionally not currently fetching media data, but does not have the entire media resource downloaded.", but the resource fetch algorithm also fires the suspend event "Once the entire media resource has been fetched (but potentially before any of it has been decoded)". In other words, the UA may have the entire resource downloaded when the last buffered event is fired.

If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Did Not Understand Request Change Description: no spec change Rationale: I don't understand. Could you elaborate? As far as I can tell in the spec, 'suspend' is only fired in one situation, which is when the download is suspended. I guess technically a browser could decide to not download any more content at the same time as it has received the last byte but before realising it, but that's a pretty obscure edge case that doesn't seem worth mentioning in the non-normative summary table.
This bug should be considered together with Bug 12595. After making the suspend event fire when even if we've finished buffering, the wording can be changed to simply "The user agent is intentionally not currently fetching media data"
mass-moved component to LC1
This should indeed be changed now.
