Dash.js: Dash.js v3.0 player freezes when trying to seek to the last available timecode positions

[galileogalilei]

Environment

• [x] The MPD passes the DASH-IF Conformance Tool on https://conformance.dashif.org/
• [x] The stream has correct Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers (CORS)
• [x] There are no network errors such as 404s in the browser console when trying to play the stream
• [x] The issue observed is not mentioned on https://github.com/Dash-Industry-Forum/dash.js/wiki/FAQ
• [x] The issue occurs in the latest reference client on http://reference.dashif.org/dash.js/ and not just on my page
• Link to playable MPD file:

dash-file1.txt

• Dash.js version: v3.0.0
• Browser name/version: Google Chrome 75.0.3770.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• OS name/version: Windows 10 Enterprise Edition

Steps to reproduce

1. Please provide clear steps to reproduce your problem:
2. load manifest file in the dash reference player: http://reference.dashif.org/dash.js/v3.0.0/samples/dash-if-reference-player/index.html
3. use default configuration for the player
4. the player starts playing the file
5. seek to a position to the end of the file
6. pause player
7. seek to a position to the beginning of the file
8. seek to position 59.55
   

   Observed behaviour

• player is freezing in there(with readyState = 1, paused = false), the last event thrown is: waiting. after that, no error, no segment request/loading/, no javascript unhandled exception etc.
• clicking pause/play button has no effect on the player freezing state(a play promise abort error is thrown in the logs); the only way to unfreeze the player is to seek to a new position.

@galileogalilei, one question before start taking a look. Did you get to reproduce this issue with any of our test streams? Thanks!

[galileogalilei]

Thank you for your prompt reply!

Yes, managed to reproduce it also with the default test stream: https://dash.akamaized.net/akamai/bbb_30fps/bbb_30fps.mpd

The steps to reproduce were pretty much the same:

• load manifest with default settings, video start paying, pause the video then seek at different positions, to the end and then back to the beginning of the video and then seek(programatically this time cause you need precision to seek right at the edge of the video) to the last available frames of the last segment, e.g. seek(634.55) in this case.
• I would say the issue only happens when trying to seek to the last available frames of the video, in this case >= 634.54 of 634.566.
• In my testing video(mp4, codecs: avc1.42c01e, res: 720 x 576 @ 25 fps, ratio:16:9), seek() >= 59.55 of 60.00. but in this particular case, before seeking to 59.55 and player freeze, player.duration() shows 60.031999 seconds instead of the initial 60.00s (as stated in the manifest as the item duration). This is probably due to the fact that audio representation seems to be a bit longer than the video one(if you check audio duration from the manifest is exactly 60.031999 while the video representation is 60.00) and after trying to play to the last frame at least once the player.duration then changes to this value. Even if this does not seem to be ok(audio has a length less than one full frame more than the video representation), I don't think it has anything to do with the issue, taking into account is it also occuring with the test stream which did not have this particularity.

• Also, buffer length seems to always be empty when the player freeze in the waiting state(so probably seek(to last frames) needs to be executed before the buffer had any chance to fill-in ranges).

Let me know if you need other details!

Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I am going to test it in the new version I am preparing, dash.js v3.0.1. It has some timing related improvements and includes a new mechanism to auto-recover from playback stall situations. Plan is to freeze this new version this week so it will be released by Wednesday next week. I will let you know once I have a version that you can start testing with.

[danielkhan91]

Are there going to be any fix for this in dash.js v3.0.1? I have tested all released versions and saw that this is not reproducible in dash.js v2.5.0, but somehow broke in dash.js v2.6.0 and every version after.

[epiclabsDASH]

Yes, it will. I am closing the branch with the latest changes of 3.0.1. Stay tuned

[danielkhan91]

Note: This is still not working for the nightly build either. Tested with /*! v3.0.0-9291d30, 2019-08-09T22:54:48Z */

@galileogalilei can youcheck if the issue is still present with latest version?
appendWinwoend is now used in dash.js as explained in PR #3153, and it may resolve your original issue.
Let us know.

[bbert]

I do not manage to reproduce, even when disabling use of appendWindowEnd property.
Please reopen it if you manage to reproduce.

Hi,

with 3.0.3 versión I have the same problem when seek to random positions with a Live isml.

Environment

• The stream has correct Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers (CORS)
• There are no network errors such as 404s in the browser console when trying to play the stream
• Dash.js version: v3.0.3
• Browser name/version: Google Chrome 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• OS name/version: Windows 10 Enterprise Edition
• The manifest used:
  Manifest.txt

Steps to reproduce

• load manifest file in the dash reference player
• using that settings:
  streaming.scheduleWhilePaused = true
  streaming.fastSwitchEnabled = true
• the player starts playing the file
• seek to a position randonly

Observed behaviour

• After some seeks, player is freezing
• clicking pause/play button has no effect on the player freezing state
• In console the next message is shown:
  core\Debug.js:168 [67381][FragmentController] No audio bytes to push or stream is inactive.
