[Bug 1401563] Re: Playing a video from the photo roll exhibits odd behaviour if a video is currently loaded in the media player

 

This QML application also triggers the behavior mentioned on this bug.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Play some video from the Video Scope
2. Start the attached app (i.e. qmlscene video_play_test.qml ----desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/<some_file>.desktop)
3. Tap on some of the videos file names listed by the app (it will list videos recorded by the camera-app)

Expected result: The video selected plays properly in the media player

Actual result: The video is corrupted, usually the video that was
already loaded is shown as a still but with the sound of the selected
video.

Basically what we found during the tests is that if an application calls
Qt.openUrlExternally("video://sample.mp4") after a video is playing from
Video Scope, the bug does not reproduce. But if we use a VideoOutput
with Camera source (the case for the attached app and for camera-app)
the issue happens.
