User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20180323154952
Steps to reproduce:
- Use a server that does not support byte range requests for streaming (e.g. an MP4 video with web profile supported in Firefox, IE, Chrome)
- Play the video and wait ~30-60 seconds
- After that time video will stop playing (videojs throws exception "Code 2 - MEDIA_ERR_NETWORK)
Actual results:
Video playback is broken as video will interrupt after some time.
Expected results:
Video should have played fine until the end.
- In the past Firefox did a good job with servers not supporting byte range requests (video was playing fine, seekbar allowed to jump forward/backward within the "buffered" / already downloaded part)
- Internet Explorer works 100% fine, you can also jump in the seekbar to parts not yet shown as downloaded
- Chrome plays fine with constraint that one cannot jump forward backward when clicking on the seekbar of a html5 video player, but at least the video does not interrupt.
one more comment: this was working fine in previous firefox versions and has was getting a problem in the recent Firefox version.

You may want to try mozregression-gui to find regression range.

Sounds like a duplicate of bug 1450607 which already has a regression bug identified.
Do you happen to have link to repro this?
