| Summary | 0019924: Video playback stops when side panel with Preview is closed | ||||
| Description | When the side panel with the Preview window is closed while playing a video, playback will stop. MediaMonkey should either: A) Disable the closing of the side panel while a video is playing B) Switch video to full window when user closes side panel C) Keep playback going while not showing the video (as Preview is now hidden) Problems to consider: 1. What to do when Preview was hidden prior to starting playback of video (it now enables Preview in side panel. or enables the side panel with preview) [ie. this works] Some users may find it annoying to have to hide side panel with each video if option C is chosen and it re-enables the side panel automatically. 2. What to do when user plays multiple videos if option C is chosen (it may become unclear to user why video isn't showing) | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1 Play video file 2 Hide Side Panel with Preview --> Playback stops unexpectedly | ||||

Testing this and when Right panel is disabled MM5 still auto-show the right-panel / preview on video playback starts. Supposing this logic is correct then I guess that solution A) should be chosen. i.e. Disable closing of the side panel while a video is playing On the other hand more expected approach would be B) Switch video to full window when user closes side panel IMHO |

It is expected behavior related to 0017520. Closing panel with video is the same as closing window with video in any other player -> stops playback. Other solutions sound weird to me. When starting playing video we temporarily open panel for video, so it can be played. Assigning to Rusty to decide, but I think current solution is best and most consistent. |

I think that the current behavior or option A is fine for YouTube videos. BUT, if the user is playing videos that aren't from YT, then the expected behavior would be that audio should continue playing even when the panel is collapsed (c). |
