Answer 1

Can't find any official documents that mention this but I'm pretty sure the media file is played on a separate thread under the hood by JavaFX so that it doesn't block the UI thread. This is why you need to use MediaPlayer.setOnEndOfMedia:

view.setMediaPlayer(player);

player.setOnEndOfMedia(() -> {
    view.setVisible(false); 
});    

player.play();
