1553724 - RDD Process Failure is not a whitelisted media error string

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Build System :: General: Unsupported Platforms, defect)

Description

[Tom Ritter [:tjr] (OOTO until 4/30 at least)]

When RDD process fails we get the following log:

[JavaScript Warning: "Error: This error message will be blank when privacy.resistFingerprinting = true. If it is really necessary, please add it to the whitelist in MediaError::GetMessage: NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_FATAL_ERR (0x806e0005) - error creating Video decoder" {file: "https://bitmovin-a.akamaihd.net/bitmovin-player/stable/7.8/bitmovinplayer.js" line: 11}]

This comes from our Resist Fingerprinting protection for media error messages: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/952521e6164ddffa3f34bc8cfa5a81afc5b859c4/dom/html/MediaError.cpp#35

Maybe we should add this error to the whitelist.

According to the discussion in Bug 1354633 we explicitly decided not to allowlist the decode errors. The RDD process failing appears as a decode error (although it kind of is kind of is not.) So it seems like this is a WONTFIX
