1122863 - Switching windows causes Pandora to skip to the next song

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1194891

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

Description

[Bill McCloskey [inactive unless it's an emergency] (:billm)]

This is kind of a weird bug. I recently got Pandora working again my enabling the ffmpeg settings in Linux. I've noticed a behavior that's been happening for a while: sometimes when I switch to a different window, Pandora will stop playing and then start the next track in a few seconds.

The next time this happens I'll check the error console.

It just happened again when I closed a window (not the one Pandora was in). Here's the error I got in the console:

I would guess this happens to me maybe once an hour when using Pandora.

I can't narrow down what is causing it, but I've seen a similar issue with Pandora using Firefox 37 on Mac (with no Flash installed).  My console message:

Does this issue still exist?

I started using Pandora again and I haven't seen the issue in the last couple days on Nightly. I'll re-open if it reoccurs.

Comment 6

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

this is likely the same reason why we had bug 1193963. The skip to the next song is due to the decoding error that could happen due to bug 1194891.

Nightly do not use gstreamer by default anymore (nor will 43); and as such the problem is no longer obvious
