How to stop loading video when ajax navigate to another page?

Question

JavaScript

Hello. There is video hosting on rails with turbolinks, i.e. page transitions are done with ajax and history.pushState. Videojs is used as the video player. The user opens a page with a video, starts watching, and then goes to another page. The problem is that the browser does not stop loading the past video. How can this be cured without disabling turbolinks?

Answer 1

Try removing the video object from the DOM.
