Hi Blake,

Is this bug related to OOP?  May we please ask John to take a look ?

Besides, 

From the screenshot, I am wondering if it has anything to do with shutdown decoder?
However, since it happened on both aurora54 and Nightly55, I suppose this bug should have nothing to do with shutdown decoder.

Can you please help us clarify the issue ? Thank you very much !

This should result from the crash in out-of-process, OOP. 
Sorina, 
Do you hit this problem often? what is the repro rate?

Hello, tested again with the devices from description and the repro rate is 3/4 and I've seen this problem on different sites like cnn.com, vimeo not just youtube. Let me know if is other info needed.

Hello,

 On Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 (5.1 - x86) the videos stop playing when accessing certain news site like cnn.com or nexs.google.com and doesn't resume playback. I think the issue might be related to this since on Nexus 6 (7.0) I get the same result when accessing a news article from news.google.com and I also received the error message mentioned by Sorina when testing with the Nexus on Aurora.

 This only seems to happen when accessing a news site from what I've seen so far, works fine when going on other pages (eg. Amazon, eBay, Facebook... ).

STR:
 1. Go to youtube.com (redirected to m.youtube.com) and play any video;
 2. Go to cnn.com or news.google.com (on news google open any news article);
 3. Wait for the page to load.

Expected result:
 Video playback should not pause while the page is loading or finishes loading.

Actual results:
 - The video playback pauses and does not resume on the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 (5.1 - x86);
 - The video playback pauses and resumes after several seconds on Nexus 6 (7.0).

Notes:
 The issue seems to not reproduce on news sites like foxnews, nbcnews, usatoday...
Since this issue is preventing me from testing how suspended video decoder elements perform after waiting for a longer period of time I shall mark it as a blocker for the main feature.
John, 
Would this be the same to bug 1345599?

 Looks like it. Patches in bug 1345599 should eliminate the out of memory situation that causes the crashes.
 I'll add proper error handling code in this bug to prevent crashing when shared memory fails.

I don't think `NullPointerException` is the appropriate exception here. Maybe `UnsupportedOperationException`?

    throw new UnsupportedOperationException(e);

Bug 1346235 - part 4: recycle unpopulated input samples.

`sample` can be null here (e.g. when you call `sendInput(null)` above)

Sorina,
Please help us test it again.
Thank you.

Hi all, 

Tested with:
- Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Android 5.0.1);
- Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 (Android 5.1 x86);
- Nexus 6 (Android 7.0);
- Lenovo A536 (Android 4.4.2).

This bug seems fixed, the videos are playing with no issues. As what Bogdan wrote in comment #5 and following the steps from description, the video is not paused and continue playing while another tab with news is loaded. So that issue is fixed too.
