Description Thomas Capricelli 2013-03-14 17:13:18 UTC
While working, I noticed a video that was being played in background. I couldn't see it, but i could hear, it was some (local) news. I tried to find out which browser was playing this, but it was none : only when closing akregator did the play stop.
Now, if i start again akregator, after some time (2/3 minutes?), the video is played again. I can't find out which article is responsible.
The only way to get rid of this is to stop akregator.

Those are for facts. The following is guessing from my part: an article points toward a page where a video is automatically started (seems to be the new fashion, i hate that). Even though akregator doesn't display this page, the video is played.
Which kinda frighten me : does akregator renders all hidden articles ??? I have probably thousand of such pages..

Reproducible: Always

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of akregator (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
