For some videos in IMDb if you skip to a time via the progress bar, you'll get 'Sorry, an error has occurred while attempting video playback. Please try again later' every single time.

STR
- in a fresh FF53 x64 profile in win10 x64, open either of these trailer video links:
http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi4030179609?playlistId=tt2390361
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2017020/videoplayer/vi2897651993
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2316801/videoplayer/vi2080616217
(these videos)
- as the video starts to play, click anywhere on the progress bar to skip to any time: after a few secs you'll get 'Sorry, an error has occurred while attempting video playback. Please try again later'.
- try to refresh the page (F5 or Ctrl+F5) and repeat: it occurs every single time.
- there's no error in Web Console while this occurs.
- On the other hand, if you just let the video play (i.e.) without skipping) instead, 
then playback completes ok.

Also, this, doesn't occur in Chrome 58, Edge 38 or IE 11.

Hi and thanks for the report!

Following the STR from comment 0, I was able to reproduce the issue on all Firefox channels, using Windows 10, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and MAC OS X.
On the Nightly channel, there are a couple of warnings displayed on the Web console (please see the attachment).

> thanks for the report!
You're welcome!

> On the Nightly channel, there are a couple of warnings displayed on the Web console (please see the attachment).

I was mistaken: these warnings on Web Console appear on FF 53 stable too:
> Media resource hxxp://video-http.media-imdb.com/... could not be decoded.
(It's just that they appear right after the "Sorry, an error has occurred" appears, 
not a few seconds earlier, i.e. when the big yellow circle in the video area still spins, so it missed my attention).
Got tons of errors like:

[17705] WARNING: Frame incorrectly marked as non-keyframe @ pts:81623000 dur:42000 dts:81623000: file /media/jwwang/DATA/codebase/mozilla-central/firefox/dom/media/fmp4/MP4Demuxer.cpp, line 467

and then the seek promise is rejected with:

Flags: needinfo?(jyavenard)
sounds similar to bug 1347538, but for MP4...

We attempt to seek, but there's no more keyframe after the seek point. So we reach EOS while seeking.

Flags: needinfo?(jyavenard)
Would it be possible that we can add some test or enhance our current tests?
Priority: -- → P1
Once again, the issue is about the MDSM not handling EOS when seeking. I can make a workaround (again) in the MP4 demuxer instead, but it will be just that a workaround...

The MDSM should properly handle EOS when seeking and not treat it as error.

Bug 1359058 - handle EOS during seeking.

That will prevent the error for being shown.. However seeking will still not work.

I don't see how we could check the stream to properly identify the keyframe without scanning the entire content first.

We could remove the check in MP4TrackDemuxer::Seek the looks for a keyframe... But then we would likely get a decoding error later anyway...

Though, on those particular videos, it works just fine...
Somehow, seeking in http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi4030179609?playlistId=tt2390361 works fine on Chrome. Chrome doesn't seem to scan the whole file to find a key frame since seek is very fast on Chrome.
yes.. somehow, even when those keyframe aren't ones... they decode well anyway...

need to check what's going on...
Those are very peculiar files...

For once, the muxing is correct, in that the keyframe flags are properly setup. So prior bug 1300296, seeking would have worked.

however, the H264 binary stream is wrong.
All frames' NAL have the type 1 (Coded slice of a non-IDR picture) and the nal_ref_idc of each NAL unit is set to 1. That's clearly wrong...

We would have to do a much deeper stream analysis to detect IDR frames (and I'm not sure it's even possible inner the NAL).

:cpeterson, do we know anyone inside IMDB to get them to correct their stream?

@jya, 

We'll hit this assertion due to the change in this patch.


MP4TrackDemuxer::GetNextSample() might flip the `smaple->mKeyframe` so that the chcek won't pass.

We can either (1) remove this assertion or (2) remove the logics in MP4TrackDemuxer::GetNextSample() which recheck a sync frame is an IDR frame or not and flips the `sample->mKeyframe` variable.

The 2nd solution also resolves the issue of bug 1366999. WDYT?
Flags: needinfo?(jyavenard)
See Also: → 1366999
The file that caused this failure had no IDR NAL at all but the first sample.
Checking that a sample is an actual IDR is required due to all the bad data provided in MSE and all the side issues they cause. so (2) is unacceptable.

Please open a new bug for the assertion.
Flags: needinfo?(jyavenard)
Above I'm referring to the IMDB files which had all frames marked a P-Frame.

Based on comment 35, the fact that it impacts a high-traffic site (IMDB), the small size of the patches, and considering we've already shipped this fix in Fx54 with no known regressions, I'm nominating this for ESR52 approval now too.
