Hey @AleksanderSadov , I see that your playlist is live. I've been running it for a while, but haven't run into the issue yet (Chrome on Mac).

I see that you're running on Linux and encountering the issue after a few seconds. Maybe that could provide a difference. Would you be able to encounter the issue again, then go to chrome://media-internals, find the relevant player, and see if there are any logs?

Thanks!

Hello, @gesinger

Same problem also exists on Windows 10 and Chrome 59.0.3071.115 and not only on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS. We have not tested it on Mac.

Here are the logs from chrome://media-internals after player crushes:

@gesinger We're seeing a very similar issue on ChromeOS since Chrome 59 but also in Chrome 60. Any thoughts or other information needed beyond what's in this issue?

ahmadawada11 · 2017-08-31T09:58:39Z

i have the same problem any solution?

gesinger · 2017-09-05T22:26:51Z

Sorry for the delay, one problem with MEDIA_ERR_DECODE errors are that they are usually stream specific. The Chrome media-internals logs can help, as those logs from the browser can sometimes have helpful information about what caused the error. Usually though, the issue is something to do with the stream or how it is segmented. The most helpful thing for us to debug these issues is to:

Provide the chrome://media-internals log
Provide a reproducible test case: if the stream is live, or is a long playlist, making a shorter playlist from the segments around when the error occurs can be helpful (so long as it reproduces the issue, it is much easier to determine what is happening and why the segments might cause the problem)
