Version is 19.0.2

Bug was introduced sometime between the latest 18.x.x build and the current 19.0.2 build
Expected behavior is to have the source update with the steps shown below
Current behavior is documented below

Steps to reproduce:
- Create two scenes
- Make symbolic link to a video (.flv in my case) on one scene
- Add that as a media source
- Select these options for the media source [Local File] [Restart playback...] [Use hardware...] [Close file when inactive]
- Switch to the scene with the source
- Verify it is correctly playing
- Switch to the blank scene while the source is playing
- Remove and replace the symbolic link to a new video (both the same length in my case but different sizes content etc.)
- (Optional) Verify the link has been changed using a media player
- Change to the scene with the media source
- The scene will show the old source

I will look at the code base tomorrow and see if there are any obvious bugs introduced int he recent patches.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading

It seems that it doesn't matter if the source is playing when the scene is switched.

For the [Close file when inactive] box to work you need to select [Hide source when playback ends].

I don't know if this is the intended behavior. It seems that [Close ...] should be hidden or grayed out if [Hide ...] is not selected.

This report can be marked as solved or mitigated. And a separate created for the above suggestion if it is deemed worthy.
