Bug 203194 – [GStreamer] Several issues while trying to play a video on NextCloud

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Sergio Villar Senin]

I'm experiencing several issues when trying to play a video hosted on a nextcloud installation:

* the playback is choppy, it starts, then I got several cuts and finally it becomes stalled
* the download bar grows a bit and then stops
* the progress indicator behaviour is weird, as it moves faster than the download bar

Note that the video plays fine if I download it.

PS: the aforementioned video is hosted in a private installation, I can give further details privately.

Most likely an issue in the GStreamer webkithttpsrc element.

Could be simplified to GST_STATE(src) >= GST_STATE_PAUSED

Odd indentation here :)

With current ToT here playback doesn't even start... The pipeline seems stuck in an ASYNC state change.

Have you tried patch for bug 205275 ?

Yes and the video plays now. I was just saying the original issue reported is now different from what I observe without patches.

I observed several of this things while working on this bug that I tried to fix but as the patch was getting big, I thought I could push what I had and tackle the "low bandwidth pause" back here.

The video is working fine after the WebKitWebSrc threading rework.
