🐞 - VRCDN preview tile stealing RAM even when not playing

What happened?

On my profile page I have my VRCDN live stream preview setup. This doesn't autoplay so one would assume it's doing nothing, but after couple of hours I notice that in chrome the tab is consuming a huge amount of RAM.

Here you can watch it increase in size in real time

Replication Steps

Nothing, just have VRCDN loaded in the profile as a tile.

The embeds source code on our end:

<video controls>
  <source
    src={`https://stream.vrcdn.live/live/${blockUpdate.url}.live.mp4`}
    type="video/mp4"
    />
</video>

Where ${blockUpdate.url} is the input of the VRCDN Username

The recommendation from @jazzy348 sent over from @M1XZG was:

<video autoplay muted>
  <source src="https://stream.vrcdn.live/live/${streamName}.mp4" type="video/mp4"/>
</video>

What's most likely happening here is the video embed is writing the recevied stream data to the buffer rather then discarding it after showing it.
