RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1429847

People

(Reporter: wtds.trabalho, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:71.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/71.0

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open Spotify Web Player
  • alternate between programs
  • Run high CPU usage program, like software build
  • Audio pauses many times

Nor occurred in Google Chrome...

The same after certain time if Browser are minimized

Actual results:

Audio begins to pause frequently, when browser minimized or when use other apps...

Expected results:

I suggest high CPU prioritization for audio and video tabs or processes.

Thanks...

*Sorry. I used multiple "-" to separate text... and markdown make "*Not *occurred in Google Chrome" big.
Was not intentionally.

And I can't edit... inclusive the English errors.

Thanks...

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

This is a performance issue that has been solved in Bug 1429847. The situation has improved for me on normal playback during a build. However, when your machine is completely saturated there is nothing that can be done.

I'll DUP it, feel free to reopen if you don't agree.

Note that we had to temporarily revert this, but it's coming back in bug 1575883.

Also note that even with the audio thread at high priority, network I/O, script, and decoding are not running at the same high priority. This could lead to problems too. Can you check with Nightly after bug 1575883 has landed how much of an improvement you see?
