1174582 - Videos with negative time frames gets evicted.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

Some MP4 videos starts with a keyframe that has a negative presentation time stamp.

Those videos do not play well. The new MSE code following the spec evicts them automatically as they are not within Window Append Start (default:0) / Window Append End (default:+oo).

And the MP4Reader / MediaFormatReader kick the skip to next keyframe logic.

Attachment: P1. Relax append window restrictions.

Some videos have negative start time, as the default window size restriction
is [0, oo) those frames would be evicted (and as they are typically keyframes, rendering
the content unplayable from the start.

Could you please attach a video with "negative PTS" first key frame? Just curious with this kind of video and it probably has the same problem on normal playback.
Thank you.

I'm going to rpending those, because I don't want to wait any longer and it prevents some youtube videos to play.
