895092 - Media clips in an ended state

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Webmaker Graveyard :: Popcorn Maker, defect)

Description

[Scott [:thecount] Downe]

There are cases where a media clip can enter an ended state.

This is ended in terms of the video has ended. Not to be confused with the track event ending.

Most media services handle an ended state by pausing and showing the big play button, if played again from this state, it plays from the beginning.

Obviously, this can be problematic to a sequence. We never want this.

We fixed this in popcorn bug 894057 so NEW clips cannot hit this, but old clips still can.

Steps to setup old clips:

1. ensure you are on a commit before bug 894057. I used popcorn's bb226a9a541e5d1f0b5343ffadf0c67bcef431b6
2. add this to the media gallery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xRqXYsksFg
3. ensure in the media gallery its duration is 44 and not 43. This confirms that we have a clip with incorrect duration.
5. add it to the timeline.
4. Save the project. At this point you can update popcorn. Doesn't really matter, the clip is saved in the broken state.

With this clip added:

1. change the global media's time to 48 (or something greater than the clip)
2. seek outside of the clip, at the end.
3. hit play.
4. seek into the ended time, but don't let go yet.
5. let go, and before it finishes the clip, seek into the clip's valid (not ended time)

Expected: clip and main timeline should be playing.
Actual: only the timeline is playing. Clip is shown, but paused.
