[axel]

Attachment: stream.zip

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:103.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/103.0

Steps to reproduce:

I am running a video stream for a long time (1-3 hours). The stream is using x-mixed-replace and contains jpeg frames of around 10k bytes size each.

A small dump of the stream is attached.

Actual results:

The video is being displayed perfectly fine. But after some time Firefox crashes. The crash report is: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/3f6ec74c-3861-4947-88cd-ceebd0220819

Expected results:

The stream should just keep running

Oom small crash.

It doesn't look like we have any media-related threads running in the crash report -- this might not be a media-related crash?

Generic content process OOM small crash. The process that was using all the memory wasn't the process that eventually crashed unfortunately. Not actionable at this point.
