Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect, P2)

Description

[Andrew McCreight [:mccr8]]

This bug was filed from the Socorro interface and is 
report bp-40320b6e-9064-43e0-b84f-073c60171005.
=============================================================

OSX 10.13 specific crash signature. I'm assuming that CoreVideo is video playback related. 101 crashes across all versions.

one comment: "I simply plugged in my external display using a DisplayPort cable."

Exclusively 10.13, and the crashing stack is entirely CoreVideo/libSystem. Makes me wonder if maybe this is really an Apple bug?

One of the comments says "I simply plugged in my external display using a DisplayPort cable" - I wonder if this is another manifestation of plugging/unplugging devices from the ports.

I'm wondering if it is a sandboxing issue, see bug 1403855.

I can't reproduce with an external monitor on Mac OS X 10.13. Seems to be happening across a wide range of GPUs.

Should I file an Apple bug on this one?

No Firefox or Thunderbird crashes, for all versions, since 11-01 https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/signature/?signature=CoreVideo%400x2d6d&date=%3E%3D2017-08-10T13%3A39%3A12.000Z&date=%3C2017-11-10T11%3A39%3A12.000Z&_columns=date&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform_version&_sort=-date&_sort=-email&page=1

If the signature changed to something with a comparable crash rate I don't see what it would be https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/search/?platform_version=~10.13&platform=Mac%20OS%20X&date=%3E%3D2017-11-03T17%3A41%3A40.000Z&date=%3C2017-11-10T16%3A41%3A40.000Z&_sort=-date&_facets=signature&_facets=platform_version&_facets=build_id&_columns=date&_columns=signature&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=platform_version#facet-signature

That said, miket had a few of these crashes, none in the last week but is now seeing a few CVCGDisplayLink::getDisplayTimes

Perhaps coincidence, but that signature has seen a noticeable increase in Firefox crash rate around Nov 1-2.  See the graph https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/signature/?signature=CVCGDisplayLink%3A%3AgetDisplayTimes&date=%3E%3D2017-10-10T13%3A52%3A03.000Z&date=%3C2017-11-10T11%3A52%3A03.000Z&_columns=date&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform&_columns=reason&_columns=address&_columns=install_time&_sort=-date&page=1#graphs

I got one just a few mins ago (after returning from heating up my lunch): https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/a7a1b9f3-be0a-41fb-9759-8d0b30171113

Closing because no crash reported since 12 weeks.
