Presentation duration is shown as 00:00:00

Loading http://media.axprod.net/TestVectors/v6-Clear/Manifest_1080p.mpd into the DASH-IF sample player (latest development branch) shows 00:00:00 as the duration, instead of the expected 12:14.

Tested with Firefox 43.

Oh, this seems to be nondeterministic! Tried again and now it works for me, too. Will try to see if I can manage a more reliable repro scenario. I actually noticed it with more content and more browsers, as well.

Reproduces reliably on IE (so far):

1. Open dash.js
2. Paste URL
3. Click load -> success, correct duration shown
4. F5 to refresh
5. Paste URL
6. Click load -> success but 00:00:00 duration shown

@sandersaares I produced in ie11 VM on browserstack. But I think the timecode being 0:0 is just a side effect of a bigger issue with that content or dash.js It never plays past 5 seconds when this is the case. My first startup played fine but after a refresh of the page it does not as you point out which is very very odd. I am having trouble debugging this since I do not have a win 10 (or 8.1) system with ie11 so I am bound to VM

@sandersaares seems to be resolved. Tested in a real windows 10 system and did exact steps I used to previously reproduce. Never failed to render the correct timecode.

Please reopen if you find something different with the latest code in dev.
