Before bug 1340160, the linked video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzVGqJH3-ww) would consistently crash around the minute mark. No it no longer crashes, but playback is still momentarily interrupted. Additionally, on some occasions the video quality after the restart is noticeably worse.

Sounds like maybe the decoder is crashing?

There seems serious leakage of shared memory used by OOP decoding IPC. Investigating now.
Flags: needinfo?(jolin)
Priority: -- → P1
[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Since OOP is enabled on 53, we should track it on 53 as well.
Turns out it's not leak. After bug 1319987 Java callbacks onOutput() and onInputExhausted() both resolve DecodePromise. This will make format reader feeds input samples much faster than decoder can consume them and tens of video input samples could be queued in Codec.InputProcessor.mInputSamples. Will find some way to throttle to avoid the input flood.

A stream ID change always come after a new init segment has been encountered. As such, there will always be a change of SPS/PPS when the stream ID change. Plus this change makes no sense. The title states to not drain/flush but the next line says that you need to flush after drain.

Is this in relation to the max_num_ref_frames SPS parameter, and if so it can vary... Additionally, if you're not calling InputExhausted, the decoder won't be fed a new data after the first input, so how could mInputSamples size ever become greater than 2 then?

It is not related to max_num_of_ref_frames. Once the decoder starts consuming these pending buffers, the size of queue decreases and `InputExhausted` will be called.

Some live streams on YouTube sends init segment but `H264Converter` doesn't recognise SPS change. Perhaps the logic in `CheckSPSChange` is flawed? Currently it compares `extra_data` in MediaRawData, two *identical* extra_data could be considered non-change. In the next line I intended to explain why drain/flush is harmful to Android decoder in this case: - no flush after drain causes stop - flush after drain causes missing frames Looks like I did a bad job and made it more confusing. T_T Will remove that line.

T_T > Will remove that line. CheckSPSChange is only there to catter for plain MP4 that have a change of content in between (or AVC3 content). You could actually fully get rid of it for MSE because the MFR has already done the job.

Track 53+ as youtube playback is important to uesrs and this is user-visible issue.

I guess that bug 1350209 means that we're safe on Beta anyway now, no matter whether it is actually affected by this or not (and on 52 it's not enabled anyway).
