889848 - Sometimes first clip becomes out of sync after adding additional clip

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Webmaker Graveyard :: Popcorn Maker, defect)

Description

[Matthew Schranz [:mjschranz]]

I'm not sure the best way to explain it, but here's some STRs.

1) Load up popcorn.webmaker.org
2) Add http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40v_bVdlkGQ as a clip.
3) Add to timeline.
4) Set currentTime to 2:02 (end of this video). I carefully clicked the scrubber to there.
5) It's important you don't ever actually initiate play yet.
6) Add that clip again.
7) Navigate currentTime to be within range of the first clip.
8) Press Space bar to play.

Expected: It plays and the video is in sync playing at the correct spot relative to overall currentTime.
Actual: It doesn't play at all. Clicking on the video area itself triggers play but doesn't sync it up.

Unsure if this is something that requires specific clips or not. It might be related to false duration reports from YouTube.

I think this is a dupe of bug 885813

Odd pauses like this at the end of the video are related to YouTube hitting an ended event before we expect it to.

The solution is to not pause when it hits an ended event. We shouldn't fight duration times with YouTube, I tried, it doesn't work. Instead let's make ended events OK.

Let's keep this open and when bug 885813 is varified, we can verify this, just to be sure.

Just tried this, working now.
