1335282 - [Widevine] Amazon videos causing "The Widevine CDM plugin has crashed on Mac

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Audio/Video: GMP, defect, P1)

Description

[Haik Aftandilian [:haik]]

Filing this bug on behalf of Craig who commented about the problem on bug 1286480 comment 28+: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1286480#c28

Copied from bug 1286480:

I seem to be having an extremely similar issue. Single upgrading to 50.1 Widevine always crashes on Amazon and Netflix. I just upgraded to 51 hoping it would fix the issue and I'm still getting constant crashes. I'm not sure what else to try. It is only Widevine that is crashing, other browsing behaves as normal.

1) No external monitor is attached. This is just direct from my MacBook Pro

2) This is a Console output surrounding a forced crash (attempting to play a Netflix title)

Comment 1

[Haik Aftandilian [:haik]]

Craig, thanks for providing that info. A couple more requests:

1) Which model Mac Book Pro?

2) Would you be willing to test Firefox Beta build 52 or Firefox Developer Edition build 53?

Some other notes:

From the crash report in your about:support (https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/430f9387-e690-44e2-84fb-495d82170125), we see this crash is in mozilla::gmp::GMPChild::ProcessingError which is pretty generic. The crash report links to a few other bugs, but none of them look related.

Comment 2

[Craig]

Hi Haik,
I really appreciate the help here.

1) MacBook Pro (Retina, 15 inch, Late 2013) on Sierra 10.12.3
2.3GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB / Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB 

2) Definitely. I'll pull down 52.0b2 now to test.

Note:
I forced another crash with the current 51 release: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/79f60749-bfa8-4d22-8311-99ee42170131 in case it has any more info

Comment 3

[Craig]

Haik,
I attempted to run a Netflix title on 52.0b2 and 53.0a2 and both crashed.

52.0b2 https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-101db308-45ee-474e-9941-215fb2170131
53.0a2 https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-1a4550cc-82f7-4793-b176-c78452170131

There have been some fixes in our Widevine support for streaming issues found on Amazon.com during the last month and it might be worth giving this another test (with Nightly build 54) to see if they addressed your problem.

Hello Haik,
Nightly 54 appears to have resolved the issue. I tested it with Netflix and Widevine CDM is no longer crashing. Thanks to all involved for the fixes and I'm looking forward to these changes making their way into the public release.

Cheers,
Craig

This appears to be a duplicate of a bug that was fixed in build 54 given that it's no longer reproducible. Closing as "Works for me" because we don't know which bug.
