1120075 - MP4: Use movie extend header box's duration if no track duration could be found

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

We currently only extract the duration from the trak's atom track header. Which may not always exit.

Use the mvex's mehd (Movie Extend Header) if available as fallback.

Read Movie Extend Header's duration and use as fallback if no track header's duration is defined.

To test:
http://people.mozilla.org/~jyavenard/tests/mse_mp4/gizmo.html?eos=0&eosat=-1&duration=-1&init=1

duration is properly set to 5.534s ... (same as what IE and Chrome are doing)

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: MSE
[User impact if declined]: Less consistent testing, sites more likely to serve flash video.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TBPL]: Landed on m-c.
[Risks and why]: Risk is relatively low. We parse a new duration field, but only use it in fallback.
[String/UUID change made/needed]: None

This request applies to both patches on this bug.
