=============================================================

Crash when I test Bug 981369 .

Steps To Reproduce
0. You mey need to start Firefox with new profile
      This crash happens when click "PLAY AUDIO" at first time.
1. Visit http://jamesfoster.appspot.com/static/ff_mp3_popping.html
2. Click "PLAY AUDIO".

Actual Results:
 Browser crashes several seconds later

That regression window doesn't make sense, it's just ffxbld auto updates - philor is there anything about those blocklist updates that would impact this lib's functioning?
Flags: needinfo?(philringnalda)
Nope, the hsts update would only have an effect if it changed a host in there the page uses, and the page is just some data URIs; the blocklist update just disabled some extensions. I don't actually remember December 7th, but Saturday morning is an extremely unlikely time for releng to have changed anything on the build slaves. Makes no sense to me.
Flags: needinfo?(philringnalda)
yes, It is slightly difficult to reproduce the crash.
At least, 
I can reproduce the crash on the following m-i tinderbox build.

Randell, Looks like you landed this can you have a look at this?
Flags: needinfo?(rjesup)
I realize this was pinned on that checkin, but.... 

There's simply no way any of that code is invoked in that test page.  The test page is all standard dom media elements (audio), which includes MediaDecoders and playback.  The patch pointed to has no code that gets run unless you use getUserMedia or PeerConnection.

Perhaps there's a compiler/linker bug (unlikely).  Perhaps there's a timing or page layout issue (whether some pointer has a 0 or 1 in a spot.  Perhaps there's some wild write that gets triggered here - but again, the testcase doesn't ever invoke the code that changed in that push.

Note that the crash is in a thread totally outside our normal code; it's in gstreamer stuff.  Looking at the other threads, it appears the MediaDecoderStateMachine called mReader->ReadMetadata() from DecodeMetaData(), and that gstreamer code likely proxied it off to the thread that crashed.

Is this crash report from a standard nightly or inbound build?  gstreamer version?  Exact OS?   VMWare or native?  For the regression checks, mozconfig? Opt or debug?  on the regression checks, were the crashes in the same place? (please run under gdb (with gstreamer/liboil/etc symbols installed) and dump "where full" and "info threads" and attach it.)

There were a few checkins in the couple of days leading into the pushlog above that did touch content/media, including one that mentions loadedmetadata not firing (though that was an Omx change).

Chris, any thoughts?

  It crashes only in this Audio file.
  So, it is not a big deal for me.
At this point this is not a severe enough crash (and also limited to Linux) to be tracking for release blocking, but if a low risk fix is available please nominate for uplift when ready.
I don't have a clue.

I can't repro this in my VM. Edwin can you repro it on your machine?
Flags: needinfo?(cpearce)
Looking at the stack, it's probably related to the Fluendo MP3 codecs; you probably have the wrong plugin to reproduce it. Trying it now.
I've had crashes with similar stacks, let me know if you want the version of the packages I have locally.

I haven't been able to reproduce this, so that would be great.

Would you mind inverting the name/logic for this, i.e. make it enable-blacklist with a default of true?  Not that we're super-consistent with prefs, but it'd be nice if we were.

As noted in bug 1133634, some YouTube videos stop working (audio works, but there's no video) as a result of this, too. We probably need more information there before we backport this.

Agreed. As this is a long standing issue, I don't know that we need to uplift this to 37 rather than letting this have the time to shake out issues and fix additional bugs before shipping in 38.

I reproduced the initial issue, but no reliable, only twice out of around 25 tries on a single Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit machine.
I couldn't reproduce using 31.6.0 ESR.
The crash-stats shows no new crash reports after 2015-03-06.

Alice, do you still see the crash? If not, I believe we can mark this as verified. Thank you!

i'm not sure if this is going to be considered relevant enough to warrant any action, but this change:

https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr31/rev/c5cb8fff6daf

causes issues with older versions of gstreamer 0.10. specifically, on RHEL 6/derivatives (CentOS, etc.) where the gstreamer version is 0.10.29. 

when firefox 31.6 is built with gstreamer enabled, the browser can crash when loading media content using gstreamer plugins:

GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_plugin_feature_get_name: assertion `GST_IS_PLUGIN_FEATURE (feature)' failed
Segmentation fault

apologies if the following is not explained very well, or if i have got any of this wrong:

the crash occurs in GStreamerReader.cpp:

   223   const gchar *name =
   224     gst_plugin_feature_get_name(GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE(gst_element_get_factory(aElement)));
   225 
   226   if (!strcmp(name, "uridecodebin")) {
   227     g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(aElement), "autoplug-sort",
   228                      G_CALLBACK(GStreamerReader::ElementFilterCb), aUserData);
   229   }
   230 }

gst_plugin_feature_get_name fails, and so the strcmp fails, and the browser crashes.

i think the failure occurs when aElement is a playbin2inputselector element.

i did a bit of quick comparison with gstreamer 0.10.36, which is the version installed on debian 7, where things seem to work.

somewhere between gstreamer 0.10.29 and gstreamer 0.10.36, the input selector was removed from gst-plugins-base, which i think is why the newer 0.10 versions won't see this problem.

this change could be in version 0.10.32, based on the changelog:

2010-12-31 12:14:22 +0000 ...
...
playbin2: use input-selector from core instead of internal copy

getting GStreamerReader.cpp to check if a name has been returned seems to work around the problem, e.g.:

  if (name) {
    if (!strcmp(name, "uridecodebin")) {
      g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(aElement), "autoplug-sort",
                       G_CALLBACK(GStreamerReader::ElementFilterCb), aUserData);
    }
  }

which stops the browser from crashing, but these error messages are still displayed in the console output:

GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_plugin_feature_get_name: assertion `GST_IS_PLUGIN_FEATURE (feature)' failed

the 'autoplug-sort' does also cause a warning:

GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:2275: signal `autoplug-sort' is invalid for instance

i haven't had a chance to look at why that may be.

anyhow, just thought this may be worth reporting.

thanks,

richard
Depends on: 1153133
I can confirm that richard rigby fix is needed to be able to use Firefox with older gstreamer versions (Ubuntu 10.04 in our case). Without this patch Firefox will just crash when playing an MP3 file (e.g. from http://hpr.dogphilosophy.net/test/) in our setup, with this patch installed the MP3 file / stream will be played correctly.

Just need a different MP3 decoder installed. There are: avdec_mp3 (in gstreamer1.0-libav), mad (in gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly), and mpg123 (in gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad).

Please have a look at the aforementioned bug 1153754. People on OpenSUSE say they already have Gstreamer installed and updated. You can find a list of packages at bug 1153754, comment 6. I can't tell what's missing compared to my Linux Mint setup at bug 1153754, comment 8.
