Website becomes unresponsive after playing different videos for hours

[moino157]

Description

Using video.js to display local video files one video after the other by changing the video's src through OnVideoEnded makes the website become unresponsive after running for a while. The amount of time it takes for the website to become unresponsive (and the video to freeze) varies depending on hardware and video file size. For me, it takes an hour to become unresponsive by playing 1080p videos on my Raspberry Pi 4 8GB using the latest version of Chromium. Problem also appears on Chrome on a decent gaming PC as well as on Opera GX on a laptop.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have a folder containing at least 26 1080p videos of ~5 minutes each and your html file
2. Create HTML website displaying a video using video.js (see codepen.io for inspiration)
3. Add "OnVideoEnded" event to execute a function that increment the index of your video files array then set the new src
   (Optionally, you can change the video source every 5 seconds using setInterval. This can make the bug appear faster)
4. Let it run for maximum 24 hours if your hardware is epic; otherwise should take less than 12 hours
5. Videos eventually stop being displayed and the website becomes unresponsive. Clicking anywhere repeatedly should make the "Website is unresponsive" popup.
