-current no longer able to stream video

epitaxial · 01-15-2021, 03:02 PM

Somewhere along the line something in slackware64-current broke the ability to stream video from sling.com. It used to work with Firefox and Chrome but recently it doesn't work in Chrome at all and works briefly in Firefox ESR. It looks like ffmpeg may be the culprit from these Firefox errors. Just to be sure streaming works fine on my work laptop with Ubuntu and Debian.

Code:

WARNING: Decoder=7f194b064c00 Decode error: NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_DECODE_ERR (0x806e0004) - virtual mozilla::MediaResult mozilla::FFmpegAudioDecoder<58>::DoDecode(mozilla::MediaRawData*, uint8_t*, int, bool*, mozilla::MediaDataDecoder::DecodedData&): FFmpeg audio error:-1094995529: file /tmp/firefox-78.6.1/dom/media/MediaDecoderStateMachine.cpp, line 3470

I can confirm the same error and issue running sling.com
I'm on latest Firefox (84.0.2) and latest -current

I'm using 84.0.2, and no problems with pluto.tv or netflix. Did drm management get turned off in your firefox? I don't have sling.com, so I can't check. Twitch works.

Nope drm is enabled and sling.com is the only site not working.

I'm running an up to date Slackware64-current with KDE-plasma and FF 78.6.1. Video works fine with Netflix, Disney +, and Youtube.

Just wanted to report that the -current iso dated 1/18/2021 now plays video from sling.com.
