Description

here the test :

open any page with a title;
then navigate to a video or audio (a .mp4 or .wav local file or ex : http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4) :
this open and play the video/audio,
but the title is unchanged because there no DocumentTitleChanged
event generated.
It is probably a bug because all other pages, even about:blank generate a DocumentTitleChanged event.
