What is _stretchPaused used for? #138

Closed germain-gg closed 5 years ago

Hi,

Looking through the code I stumbled upon _stretchPaused. I could not find any documentation for it nor any reference to it being used in the project.

Media nodes have a setter to change its value.

Could anyone help me understand what this does? I'd be happy to document it in the codebase or remove it if found not relevant.

Thank you, Germain

I haven't used it.

This looks like the most interesting bit of the code:

https://github.com/bbc/VideoContext/blob/c2a41abaf08f1ba9f8e5a84ad13f4437274b05e9/src/SourceNodes/sourcenode.js#L400-L405

So you can tell a node to pause and simultaneously update the stop time so that when the node is resumed it continues to the original media stopping point.

Is that what it looked like to you?

Yeah I guess so. I am a bit unsure what the use case is. I'd be keen to hear them
