Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

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

Description

[[SV Manager] Florin Mezei, QA (:FlorinMezei)]

This is a follow up from bug 1066319 (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1066319#c22)

This is report bp-d4c9ae15-172b-4230-8273-2566b2141008.

The crash was supposed to be fixed by the fix for bug 1066319, but still shows:
- 235 crashes on Firefox 34.0a2, in builds from September 20th (when the fix landed) and later
- NO crashes on Firefox 35.0a1, in builds from September 16th (when the fix landed) and later

According to Ralph Giles in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1066319#c22, this "suggests there's something we need to backport".

There's another crash showing up that started around Sept. 19th, probably related but I'm not sure:
abort | abort | __android_log_assert | stagefright::MPEG4Source::stop()

More reports: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?product=Firefox&range_value=7&range_unit=days&date=2014-10-09&signature=abort+|+abort+|+__android_log_assert+|+stagefright%3A%3AMPEG4Source%3A%3Astop%28%29&version=Firefox%3A34.0a2

Why does this show up as a crash on Windows machines but with an android-related error message?

We're using android's mp4 demuxer on all platforms (libstagefright) including a stub of the android logging system. So it looks like an android symbol, but it's actually from our in-tree version and can show on any platform.

Good news, everyone! I've found a very reliable way to reproduce this. I load https://developer.apple.com/watchkit/ and as soon as the page is loaded, CRASH. I submitted 7 crash reports as I investigated if it was an extension or plugin, which seemed to be negative except for the Cisco video plugin which wouldn't accept an "ask me" option.
