Folks, I've been successfully using the Firefox video object for a project I've been working on for a few years. The application is very seek intensive and it is important that the video play with as little hiccups as possible once it begins playing.
I updated to Firefox 14.0.1 (Mac) today and my video does not seek correctly and is very choppy. Here's what I'm seeing for "Not seeking correctly": - I've set my Tomcat instance to serve up all of the headers as detailed in "Configuring servers for Ogg media" (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Configuring_servers_for_Ogg_media) - I point my Firefox browser at the .ogv file hosted on my Tomcat instance - Firefox loads the video with controls and begins auto-playing the video, as expected - I click to seek the video past where Firefox has indicated it has loaded - EXPECTED: Firefox should seek to the time in the video the user clicked on - ACTUAL: Firefox begins playing from the farthest point in the video that it has loaded - MORE DETAIL: I expected to see another request go out to my server for a 206 Partial Content, but I didn't. Firefox happily continued playing from the end of its cache and began loading more of the video from the server. The choppiness is occurring throughout. ffmpeg2theora is reporting the bitrate of the video is 5888.682129, which I assume is KB/s. It's a 2.3 GB file, which I've shared on my webserver. Let me know if you'd like to DL the file and I'll post the link here. I was posting here to see if anyone else is seeing this seeking issue. I've tried hitting the same server & video from Chrome and it seeks appropriately and plays smoothly. Thanks for any insight you may have! _______________________________________________ dev-media mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-media
