I can also reproduce this bug on an HTTP streaming video, so the problem is not in RTSP component, and I suspect it's Gaia::Browser's issue.

Gregor,
Can you have Ben, Dale, or someone else familiar with the Gaia Browser code look into this?

Thats not browser related code. Thats probably a gfx issue in our video playback widget.

Given it happens with other videos and other protocols, I would guess either the player itself, just how we code in and out of full screen, or graphics. Doubt it's video.

What makes you say it's not browser related code? From the video it looks to me like the white space at the bottom is the same size as the dynamic toolbar so that would be my first guess.

I'm not sure if this is related but I notice that when I overscroll the page at rtsp://203.35.158.135/TRL/trl-upload/Highbit/mpeg4_aac_114k.3gp I can see a white background showing through rather than the background scaling. Is there something special about the layers of these built-in HTML5 media player pages that makes the overscroll work differently?
It's also possible to get the .3gp page into a state where the Rocketbar is collapsed but there's a white background still showing where the expanded Rocketbar was, I think I remember seeing a separate bug filed for that.
Playing with YouTube videos it seems that exiting fullscreen is a bit janky in general, it's difficult to tell whether this is bad CSS or graphics struggling to keep up or both.

The white background is the background color of browser's mozborwser iframe[1] in system app. If I changed to red, I could see the red background displayed when exiting fullscreen or overscroll during the page is loading.
For me, it's a kind of timing issue when the size of app and rocketbar are changing at the same time.

Maybe this might help ?
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/compare/v2.0...v2.1
To note, we also have support for full screen with the software home button in v2.1. So we should probably test the fix/issue with a software home button as well.
It turns out that we still get the white over the software home button.
Well, this is weird. I tried on a test page : http://people.mozilla.org/~nhirata/fullscreen_test.html
and I did not get any white flashing. ( tap on the word a squirrel and then tap the screen to return from fullscreen)
In the logcat, it shows the same scroll and resizing as it does in the video.
I think it has to do with something odd in the full screen movie css layout and timing with the browser chrome scroll and resize.

I still believe this is a timing issue between app and rocket bar which I mentioned in comment 14. The white background is the default background of mozbrowser iframe in system app for the launched app.
Comment 26•10 years ago

Has anyone looked at the sequence of events that happens when a video is full-screened? Like what signals get fired and what styles get applied and when? It sounds premature to call this a gfx issue, there are likely several places it could be (apologies if there's been investigation that isn't cited on this bug).

Ben and I have been looking at this for a reasonable amount of time... We're still uncertain what this is, but I'm certainly leaning towards this being a Gecko/Gonk bug.
As far as we can tell, nothing actually changes in the system DOM when you fullscreen/unfullscreen, but there is clearly more than one frame being painted when you exit fullscreen (which implies that either something is changing in the DOM in response to the fullscreen change, or that there's some other issue).
Looking at the widget code, gonk/nsWindow.cpp::MakeFullScreen calls ::Resize, which sets its bounds and calls ::Invalidate, which just sets a 'please draw' flag, signals any listeners and spins the event loop. Then, at some later time, this flag is checked during the event loop and I suppose then that the redraw actually happens.
This is my flawed interpretation of events, but I don't know much about this code... It does seem though that this is a very asynchronous process, and that it's prone to these kind of drawing glitches.
n?alive to see if perhaps there's some fullscreen handling code in Gaia that we don't know about and haven't been able to find, and n?mwu to see if there's any comment about this from a Gonk/widget perspective. If either of you feel there's someone better to ask about answering this, please do pass it on :)

gaia system has nothing to do when entering fullscreen mode but only showing the permission dialog if necessary. When the DOM element leaves fullscreen mode we don't do anything in JS.
But one thing to note is that we have CSS to control the style when there is fullscreen elements
example:
#screen.software-button-enabled:not(.fullscreen-layout-app):not(.locked):-moz-full-screen-ancestor #fullscreen-software-home-button,
#screen.software-button-enabled.locked.secure-app:not(.fullscreen-layout-app):-moz-full-screen-ancestor #fullscreen-software-home-button {
visibility: visible;
}
Not sure if this is the problem; I agree with Chris that this is not gaia issue because we can't control the redraw of the system app. My 2$ would be we should wait the repaint of the system app when leaving fullscreen mode in gecko/gonk; but I am not sure how to achieve that.

Note that you'll also see weird behaviour when exiting fullscreen on a YouTube video where it seems to show the fullscreen element in the non-fullscreen size before repainting with the correct content, it isn't limited to the built in media pages. May just be a general graphics/layers issue with fullscreen?

Kats, is it worth taking another look at this one from the graphics perspective now?

Comment 34•10 years ago

As far as I can tell from the discussion above there is nothing actually point to graphics code as the culprit. So far it seems like we have concluded that there are multiple repaints happening when coming out of fullscreen, and I agree with that. We need to determine why there are multiple repaints happening, which is not a graphics issue (because graphics just processes the repaints, but doesn't trigger them). It would probably help to capture the frame tree and display list for each repaint as you exit fullscreen to see exactly what changes are happening and why repaints are being triggered.

I can reproduce, using a build from b2g trunk, and loading this video directly in the browser:
http://media.tinyvid.tv/1pjr8ctdx0bpy.ogg
(going between full-screen & non-full-screen)
I'll follow up on comment 34 (poking at some frame trees and/or display lists) either over the weekend or early next week.
Comment 38•10 years ago

One data point: if I place a breakpoint in nsVideoFrame::BuildDisplayList, and (manually) continue in GDB each time that breakpoint is hit, then I can't reproduce this bug. (I do see us changing between a few intermediate renderings as we exit full-screen mode, as the breakpoint is hit, but none of them show the white bar at the bottom.)
That makes me suspect there's a layers/compositing race condition of some sort going on here, though I don't know the layers code well enough to be sure.
Comment 39•10 years ago
|

So basically it looks like what's happening is: when we leave full-screen, we shrink browser's viewport to be 30px smaller, presumably to save some room for the status bar & maybe the URL bar.
BUT, we do this shrinking *before* the status bar has actually appeared. So our shortened viewport is still snapped to the top of the page, which means there's some extra unpainted space at the bottom.
Two simple hacks that work around this partially (not entirely):
(1) Give the <body> an explicit tall height, so that it'll be taller than its viewport. This seems to work, but it means there'll be a vertical scrollbar, so unless we can make this tall-height a temporary thing, this isn't really a good solution.
(2) Give the <body> a background-color that's close to the dark-gray background image. This will be painted in visible areas beyond its background-image. (The "dark noise" background image fills up the shortened viewport, but the extra space gets painted with the background-color.) According to one color-analysis site I used*, the average color of the "noise" image is rgb(33,33,33), so that's what we should use.
Option (2) is what I'd recommend at this point. The video still noticably snaps downwards after the status bar appears (since it pushes the viewport downward), but the white area at the bottom will end up basically the same color as the dark noise image, so that "flash" won't be noticeable.
* I uploaded imagedoc-darknoise.png to http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/color_summarizer/?analyze, which says the min (darkest) color is rgb(31,31,31), and the max is rgb(35,35,35), and the average & median are both rgb(33,33,33).

Filed bug 1167999, with a patch, on doing option (2). I think this bug will be fixed by that bug, but I'm filing it separately in case there's anything else we need here.

(Following up on this: I'm now pretty sure the real race condition here is between (a) the status bar appearing (and occupying space at the top), vs. (b) the video document repainting at its new, slightly shorter viewport-size. We're hitting this bug because (b) is beating (a).)

Another data point: I can reproduce this on Firefox for Android, too. And there, we actually stay stuck in a scenario with the white bar displayed, until the user actually tries to scroll (and then the url bar shows up & pushes the viewport down so that the white bar goes away).
Anyway, I've just landed a patch (for bug 1167999) which fixes this for me Firefox OS, on trunk, and I requested approval-mozilla-b2g37 so that we can get the fix into Firefox OS 2.2.

Un-duping, since it seems bug 1167999 didn't entirely fix this, per bug 1167999 comment 20.
I've now confirmed that I *can* still reproduce this in latest Firefox OS 2.2 nightly (build ID 20150603002503) on Flame, and latest Firefox OS 3.0 dogfood nightly on Xperia Z3C, *if* I use the RTSP url in comment 0.
I can't reproduce with an ogg video from tinyvid.tv, after repeated attempts. I originally could, per comment 34. So I'm pretty sure bug 1167999 fixed that ogg-video use case, at least.
I suspect the difference has something to do with the fact that the RTSP url has a continuously-animating progress bar, which may indicate that the page never finishes loading (and so never snaps to a final size, or something?). If I tap the "x" in the URL bar to stop it loading, then I can't reproduce anymore.
So I think this may still be broken while a video is still streaming data (or thinks it is, according to that progress bar), but it's fixed once a video has finished loading all of its data.

It looks wierd to me. How can the child viewport get resized before we reflow the outer UI? It seems to me the resize of an inner document is usually driven by a post-reflow callback of its parent document.
But anyway, it looks that we do an extra reflow which should be avoided.
Let's see whether fixing bug 1177155 could help.
