Videos Do Not Stop Playing => After a Page Navigation &| When another Instance Is Closed that has a video playing. Multiple Instance are effective too

[JohnDizzle]

What happened?

Video's that are playing on the WebView2 will not stop after a

1. TabViewContainer that has tabs opened or closed.
2. Page Navigation => to another page.
3. Multiple Instances of apps.
4. Multiple windows too.

The only fix is a a WebView2.CoreWebView2.ExecuteScript => JavaScript function to query all "video" element and stop playing them. I have to do this countless times if I want my app Web Dive to take full advantages of videos, news, and learning material.

An impact on the resources of app are also effect hence all the calls to the WebView2

Importance

It's be three weeks any resolution to the problem. I was hoping that there is a way to hibernate the webview2 if all possible like what happens in edge/chrome browsers.
