May 1, 2025May 2025: Delivered a focused bug fix in bbc/bigscreen-player to improve accessibility and playback reliability. Key outcome was preserving Audio Description (AD) when switching MSE video sources by resetting the MSE source before attaching the new one, ensuring AD remains active during source updates. This directly enhances user experience for AD users and reduces edge-case issues during source changes. The change is captured in commit 9c2a45415923a81041d298690cf78a0213b7e998 as part of addressing the AD persistence gap in issue #385.
