When e10s is enabled (default now on nightly) videos won't play. This is a recent breakage, it was working for a long time before. Naturally I first noticed on youtube's HTML5 player. Where I get an infinite throbber. Not even the advertisement plays. But dropping videos from my desktop won't play either. I get a message that the file is corrupted/damaged. (Don't know the exact wording in english) The files can be played by firefox normally. After disabling browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 videos play normally.

WFM (YT HTML5 player or webm loaded locally) with the latest Nightly and e10s on/off. Could you test with a fresh profile? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

Tracy, can you work with the reporter to determine what's going on here?

avada: Can you attempt to track down the regressions range? That is, find the last Nightly build that works for you.

Yes, though I really hate it.

Thank you for digging that out. I am unable to reproduce the bug on say youtube.com. Can you point me to a specific video this is failing for you.
Flags: needinfo?(dqeswn)
All of them actually... Anyway here's one I actually tried: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hicBgE6XndM
I've tried updating the gpu driver and now the videos start. So this can only mean some sort of incompatibility was added with the older version. I've been using that version since last year.

I've been using that version since last year. That's quite possible. Thank you for investigating. I am going to mark this invalid since it appears to have been due to an outdated driver.

Matt - can we blacklist the offending driver?

(In reply to Anthony Jones (:kentuckyfriedtakahe, :k17e) from comment #13) > Matt - can we blacklist the offending driver? I used that driver from december until yesterday and it was working just fine. Clearly it didn't change but firefox did. So why is the assumption that the driver is the one doing something wrong? Or better yet why is there no desire to figure out what exactly caused this, to prevent further driver incompatibilities?
That regression range includes bug 875247, which seems like a likely candidate. Switching to a different API could easily hit different driver bugs. If we're showing the throbber rather than just playing black video, then it sounds like the decoder actually failed, so we should be able to detect that and fall back to the old code. Can you still reproduce this? I can have a go at fixing this, but I don't have any way to test it. I'd also be interested to see your about:support when e10s is disabled, since it's not obvious why this would make a difference.

Hopefully the failure occured during initialization, not during decoder, so this should fix the problem.

I'm not sure if it's directed at me but I'd rather not go back to an older driver if I'm not forced to.
