1105778 - BBC MPEG-DASH AVC1 reference stream will not play back using MSE

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[u514836]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.65 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Navigate to http://dashif.org/reference/players/javascript/1.2.0/index.html
2. Enter http://rdmedia.bbc.co.uk/dash/ondemand/bbb/avc1/1/client_manifest.mpd in manifest box and click Load.


Actual results:

Video is not displayed, even though the codec type is supported.


Expected results:

Video should play back correctly.

As soon as the first video segment is appended to the sourceBuffer, playback fails. At this time, sourceBuffer.buffered.end appears to report 42949676.6, which is extremely suspicious.

This stream plays correctly in Chrome, IE11 and Safari using the steps above.

The referenced stream contains negative sample composition time offsets in a version 0 trun box which is invalid. I assume other parsers are more forgiving than Firefox's.

Closing as invalid - apologies.
