1103357 - Video buffering hangs with media.mediasource.enabled=true

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1118528

(Core :: Audio/Video, defect, P1)

Description

[TheRave]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20141120030202

Steps to reproduce:

Start playing the video...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVdTQmZaKJU



Actual results:

Buffering starts but buffering will be stopped after a short time. Looks like the next junk will not be startet. Sometimes buffering is going ahead if the slider is reaching the end of buffer zone, but mostly the player stops here.


Expected results:

Buffering should continuously go ahead until the entire video is buffered. The video will be completely buffered, if media.mediasource.enabled is set to false!

I can't reproduce the buffering hangs in comment 0's video, but I can reported a similar problem with a different YouTube video in bug 1106436 (on OS X).

Confirmed in 37.0a1 (2014-12-04) Win 7.
Probably a dupe of bug 1100000.

Paul, an you still reproduce this on a current nightly?

Comment 4

[Paul Silaghi, QA [:pauly]]

Yes, reproduced on 37.0a1 (2015-01-04) Win 7 x64, both with e10s ON/OFF.

Comment 5

[Bobby Holley (:bholley)]

Bug 1118370 may be a part of this (though possibly not the whole story, especially in cases where this occurs before any playback or seeking have occurred, since in those cases we should just have a single decoder).

Comment 6

[Matt Woodrow (:mattwoodrow)]

I think this is fixed by bug 1118528.

I can reproduce in nightly, but not in a local build with that patch applied.
