1197022 - [EME] Disable dormant mode for EME videos on all channels

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect)

Description

[Chris Pearce [:cpearce (Not reading bugmail)]]

We don't really need dormant mode for EME, since EME doesn't use hardware decoders. Long term, we'll handle resource contention differently, so we can just disable dormant mode for EME on all channels, rather than just on Beta/Release.

Patch: Disable dormant for EME video

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: EME
[User impact if declined]: If the user leaves a netflix tab paused in the background for 60 seconds in an aurora build, netflix will fail and be unable to be started again when the tab is re-focused.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: We have lots of EME mochitests.
[Risks and why]: Very low. This patch makes us take the path we take in Release in Aurora and Nightly too. That is, this patch disables the feature that causes the failure, and that feature is already disabled in Release.
[String/UUID change made/needed]: None.
