Media player has weird buffering problem when replaying
Closed, DeclinedPublic
Actions

Description

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Close_central_unrounded_vowel.ogg

STR:

  1. Play the media once with the player. Everything is fine.
  2. WITHOUT refreshing, play it more times. Every time it begins, there is a short "buffering" period that interrupts the sound. It's quite annoying for short media such as this example.

It can be reproduced on both Chrome and Firefox. If I use their native players, i.e. play this directly:

no such problem.

Any fix on this? It still exists and is quite annoying.

Or at least some comments/confirmation?

I think I hear what you're describing, it's intermittent for me in Chrome/Mac. Probably due to the not-so-great old player frontend code. Seems to be fixed in the new video.js-based player frontend: http://ogvjs-testing.wmflabs.org/

Likely the fix will be to deploy the new player, which requires a little more development and testing, but is in the works.

Mass-Declining all open tasks about the Kaltura audio/video player, as that code is no longer used and has been deleted. See T306971 for more information.
