1533511 - GV 67 can't play YouTube video in FFTV+GV

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

Simon is testing GV in FFTV. He says that GV 65 can play YouTube videos, but GV 67 can't so this bug is a regression in GV 66 or 67.

This also looks to me like a side effect of bug 1533252

Comment 2

[Nils Ohlmeier [:drno]]

To verify if this is caused by MediaCapabilities we would need to run with media.media-capabilities.enabled set to false.

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

Simon, can you please test YouTube playback on FFTV with the about:config pref media.media-capabilities.enabled = false?

this is different to bug 1533252, YT doesn't work at all here. MediaCapabilities was already enabled in 65, there's been no change to it in 67.

Do you still need me to check this? It's not as trivial to do this unless I have a local gecko build I think

Simon says FFTV+GV supports about:config so he can test after all.

John can you please take a look at the log Randell uploaded into the github issue here https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-tv/files/2963125/foo.txt and check if these crashes are something which we need to investigate, or were these the same out of memory crashes you saw when getMediaCapabilities() created too many decoders?

[John Lin [:jhlin][:jolin]]

The error is out of graphic buffer memory that very likely caused by concurrent video decoder creation (bug 1533252).

And the "media processes keep dying" situation observed by :jesup is probably bug 1499224:

15310:03-13 12:08:03.084  5860  5860 I GeckoMediaManager: Media service has been unbound. Stopping.

I am resolving it as fixed for now. Please reopen if still reproducible.

I can play YT TV videos in FFTV + GV nightly 68.0.20190405095028
