1187020 - Video duration keeps increasing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1180214

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect)

Description

[Andrew Overholt [:overholt]]

George made me watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=163&v=joKVyKf0obU and the duration of the video kept increasing after starting at what I assume is the correct length, ~1 h.  The duration seemed to stop increasing at 4 h 51 min.

I'm running nightly on Fedora 21 and these packages may be of interest:

For what it's worth, I can reproduce this as well on Fedora 21, but not on Windows or OS X. It only happens with the HTML5 youtube player.

[Andrew Overholt [:overholt]]

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I'm using the HTML player (I don't have flash installed).

I reported a similar problem a few years ago: Bug 948155.  The URL in that bug is no longer valid, but I still have the file saved locally.

Thanks, I didn't see that while filing this bug.  I'm not sure it's the same thing, though, as my issues appears to be Linux-specific and yours seems Windows-specific.

Let's leave them unduped for now but that's easily fixed if I'm wrong.

My guess would be an issue in the gstreamer-0.10 backend. Bug 948155 relates to MP3 which is different enough.

I'm having the same issue here, on Arch Linux using Firefox Beta. It doesn't look like a backend issue to me, since it only appeared on the 41 betas (I double-checked by downgrading again). It happens with all HTML5 videos, not only Youtube, and I can confirm it doesn't happen on Windows.

likely a dupe of bug 1180214
