Bug description

After opening a video in the integrated Nextcloud player, it starts to download the whole video instead of streaming it for some reason. But after closing the player it still keeps downloading the file in the background until closing the webpage or going to another app within Nextcloud.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open video file in files app.
2. Video plays - now close the player with X in the upper right corner.

Expected behavior

Video should stop downloading if I closed the video player since it has no purpose anymore. Also it should stream play the file but that has nothing to do with this problem.

Additional info

No response

Start by reproducing the issue from the Files app: open a video in the integrated media player, close it with the upper-right X, and observe whether downloading continues. Trace the viewer's player-close handling and verify that closing the player stops the background download; streaming behavior is noted separately in the report.
