Details

Last couple of days I've noticed Youtube showing the wrong initial duration for videos. For example, the first time I visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgkuasnJaVg it shows the duration as some random value between 1:20 and 5:50. When playback gets to the end of the 0:57 movie it jumps to the end. Subsequent replays or reloads show the correct duration. If I shift-reload I get a bogus duration again.
Sorry, this is not an MSE bug. I can only reproduce on linux, where media.mediasource.enabled is false, so this is non-DASH html5 mp4 video. I can't reproduce on mac or windows even with mediasource disabled, so it seems to be linux-specific.
