[Request] Anyway to terminate or kill running media player?
-
I want a way to kill any media video when it's playing/buffering. We can "kinda" block & stop media player from playing on load with extension, but once it start playing & buffering, there is no way to stop it from continue buffering (PAUSE doesn't stop buffering, it only pause playing) without reload the page.
Is there any way? I'm up for any extension, userjs, or hack that works.
Thanks for all the support. -
@dude99 Hibernate background tabs seems to stop buffering.
A Shortcut for Hibernate Background Tabs would make it faster.

@Pesala Thanks for your suggestion, but I don't want to "kill" the entire webpage - just the media player when I no longer need it.
Example: sometimes in youtube I want to browse the sidebar or comments without the player keep playing video or buffering. Hibernate or reload won't work because it will render the page unreadable.
Currently there is no way to terminate the video/audio that's playing... It just keep going & going until user reload or closed the tab. Whoever design this HTML5 video feature is a nincompoop & wasting everyone bandwidth & electricity, killing the planet with unnecessary heat generated from billions of Internet users 24/7.Since all browser maker doesn't want to implant this feature, then I guess we have to rely on mod community to save the day. LOL

It's 2021, anyone have any solution?
Js or extension or any means will do, as long as I can stop/kill any playing media & stop it's buffering. -

Give that bad boy a shot. I've been using it for a long time, and it pretty reliably stops autoplay on every site I've run into autoplaying videos.

@brbaum Thanks for your support, I'm already using this one & a few others that can stop autoplay on load. But I'm looking for one that can stop video/media that's currently playing from buffering, like this one:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtube-stop-button/ahcnccjmpopcpcfhpoddjiglaoiaeaadThe problem with it is it only work in youtube, & sometimes when youtube video causing the browser to stutter & unresponsive to mouse click, the button become pretty useless.
