1244964 - HLS.js aborts playback of NASA TV stream after 11 seconds: "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt."

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

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

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

HLS.js has trouble playing the following NASA TV stream:

http://dailymotion.github.io/hls.js/demo/?src=%20http%3A%2F%2Fnasatv-lh.akamaihd.net%2Fi%2FNASA_101%40319270%2Fmaster.m3u8&enableStreaming=true&autoRecoverError=false&enableWorker=true&levelCapping=-1

* Firefox 47 (on OS X and Windows) plays for either 6 or 11 seconds and then aborts: "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt." The console reports: [error] > sourceBuffer error:[object Event]

* Safari on OS X plays plays only about 1 fps and then the video freezes or Safari beachballs after 11 seconds.
* IE11 on Windows plays correctly.
* Chrome on Windows plays correctly.
* Chrome on OS X plays correctly now, but when I started testing a few minutes ago, the default 720p video was blank until I switched to the 1080p stream.

Is this bug related to bug 1239178, another Firefox-only stall issue with HLS.js?

This is a hls.js issue. Do we need to track this?

Guillaume is aware of the safari issue

He nasatv stream plays very well here. I've been watching it continuously for the past few days.

OK. If this is a (Firefox only?) HLS.js issue, I will close this bug.
