Detecting secondary process failures in browser process

[sjames1958]

Is there a mechanism where the browser process gets notified when one of the secondary processes fails? For example network process, or audio process, etc?

CefRequestHandler::OnRenderProcessTerminated is available for renderer processes. All other processes will restart automatically, and you can enable crash reporting if you want to capture the reason.

If the network process fails, existing network requests appear to hang.
If the Plugin process (subtype video capture) fails the video capture in the renderer goes black, but no indication of the failure.
This is on macOS - I haven't tried on Windows yet.

How does it behave when these processes crash in Google Chrome?

Just FYI -
On chrome when playing video and I kill the plugin helper process (handling video) (on macos) the video goes black and doesn't restart the process automatically.
The audio helper is restarted
