HTML5 swapping between streams and video files

I have a web page that sometimes displays streams and sometimes displays video files (mp4). I'm having trouble swapping between them.

This is my code to play a stream:

myVideo.srcObject = aStream;  // a stream retrieved from mediaDevices.getUserMedia()

This is my code to play an mp4:

// myVideoSource is the source sub-element of the video tag.

pathToTexture = 'media/blah.mp4';

myVideoSource.setAttribute('src', pathToTexture);

myVideo.load();

myVideo.play();

I can start the mp4 fine. And I can swap to the stream fine. But when I try to go back to the mp4, it just continues to play the stream. I've tried stopping the stream.

This was all working before when I used

myVideoSource.setAttribute('src', window.URL.createObjectURL(aStream))

to set the stream. But Chrome prints a deprecation warning so I was trying to fix that.

I have a feeling that somehow srcObject and videoSource.src are not playing nice together.
