The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video: Playback' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

The severity field is not set for this bug.
:jimm, could you have a look please?

Reopening per note in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1772085#c20 - playback issues are not caused by the mp4parse error (which is non-fatal), so there will be some other cause.

braiamp, do you see the playback failure without the HTTP proxy in place? Also curious if you see the same issue in current Firefox nightly. Also, running Firefox from a command prompt with some logging enabled (export MOZ_LOG=PlatformDecoderModule:5, then run firefox from the same prompt) may help shed some light on the cause of this.

Hello.

I've just upgraded Ubuntu from 22.04 to 22.10 some days ago. I'm experimenting some troubles by watching any online video stream and any mp4 videos saved on my PC. Basically they don't flow. To make them flow I should press the play button again and again and again and everytime I press it,only a small portion of the video go on. In addition,no audio output device work on my PC. After having exposed the problem in several places,I've found the reason because a nice reddit user gave to me a suggestion. He says that the cause of the problem is pipewire-media-session and that I should change it with wireplumber. This is what I tried to do. I've got the proof and the counter-proof that his suggestion is good. The commands that I should issue to fix the problems are the following :

$ systemctl --user unmask pulseaudio

$ systemctl --user --now disable pipewire-media-session.service

$ systemctl --user --now disable pipewire pipewire-pulse

$ systemctl --user --now enable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket

sudo apt remove pipewire-audio-client-libraries pipewire

I suppose that those commands enable pulseaudio and remove pipewire. Infact the problems that I've explained above, go away. Instead,when I try to enable pipewire + wireplumber issuing the following commands the problems come back :

$ sudo apt install libldacbt-{abr,enc}2

$ sudo apt install libspa-0.2-bluetooth pipewire-audio-client-libraries pipewire-media-session- wireplumber

$ systemctl --user --now enable wireplumber.service

$ sudo cp /usr/share/doc/pipewire/examples/alsa.conf.d/99-pipewire-default.conf /etc/alsa/conf.d/

$ sudo apt remove pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

Its now clear that some elements of pipewire does not work correctly on Ubuntu 22.10,in some situation. I could still use PulseAudio,but I want to understand how to fix the problems pipewire is affected by. Someone can help me ? I've already asked on the ubuntu forums more times,but no one has been helpful. I've opened two bug tickets,no one replied. It seems that the ubuntu team does not care about this bug.

I've booted ubuntu budgie as virtual machine within bhyve and sound worked. So,my hardware is compatible with pipewire. At this point pipewire could not work in ubuntu 22.10 because some bug. (take in consideration that it works with ubuntu 22.04).

Thanks for the additional information. It sounds like this is an Ubuntu 22.10 upgrade issue or otherwise related to the pipewire version/configuration shipping in 22.10, so there's probably nothing that can be done to fix this from the Firefox side. The latest pipewire package for 22.10 (0.3.58-2ubuntu1, released 2022-10-11) mentions fixes related to audio crackling and real time thread priorities, which could be related - please make sure you're testing against the latest available version if you weren't already.

Redirect a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user to the triage owner.
:jimm, since the bug doesn't have a severity set, could you please set the severity or close the bug?
