Detach MediaSource correctly when no longer required (!1249) · Merge requests · Vinay Rosenberg / dash-js · GitLab

GitLab now enforces expiry dates on tokens that originally had no set expiration date. Those tokens were given an expiration date of one year later. Please review your personal access tokens, project access tokens, and group access tokens to ensure you are aware of upcoming expirations. Administrators of GitLab can find more information on how to identify and mitigate interruption in our documentation.

Given the discussion at https://github.com/w3c/media-source/issues/53 and the linked W3C spec text Best practices for authors using media elements, we should probably be following that advice in order to release correctly any resources which are no longer needed.

I have tested this on Safari (9.0.3), IE11, Edge, FF (Nightly) and Chrome.
