title doesnt disappear after closing the media source in chromium based browsers

Found something intresting in another MPRIS extension issue list:
JasonLG1979/gnome-shell-extension-mpris-indicator-button#28
So defenetly broken on chromium based browsers.
But he also applied a workaround checking for some MPRIS capabilities ...
JasonLG1979/gnome-shell-extension-mpris-indicator-button@691888e
But is seems he would not show the player in this case ...

This issue was noticed before and was fixed. To get a more understanding on this issue, I need your browser and browser version. Also tell me whether you closed the browser or just the tab.

I am having the same bug sometime when I close the spotify web app from Edge the panel notification of media does dissappear but most of the time does not

I am using Spotify web app from Microsoft edge

Please dont roast me for using Edge.

Same Issue, youtube video, using brave [v 1.44.112] and ubuntu 22.04

It seems like the guy who uses Edge closes the tab.
I never observed this with Firefox though. Seems more like a browser related issue then a general one ...
Edge (on linux) , brave are some exotic configurations.
What gnome/mediacontrols versions are used would also be helpful or maybe some update fixed it ?

I tested it with chromium - played a YT video. Closed the tab. The player controls did not disappear.
I needed to close the browser to get rid of them. When I use firefox and close the tab it works and the player controls disappear. So it works for some browsers but not for all. @cliffniff FYI

[ChrisLauinger77]

chrome / brave / edge are all chromium https://www.chromium.org/chromium-projects/ based browsers which have this issue. Updated the known issues section in readme.md

[ChrisLauinger77]

Maybe some browser extension helps ?

Probably need to look if there is a fix we can do on our side.
