From 99cb1c48eac0a8553945e308d22fc7fa7da83825 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Taylor Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2021 11:11:18 -0700 Subject: av-merge: Fix malformed mp4 fragments wrongly considered deleted MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit See comment within. They would be constantly rerequested and av-merge would think it didn't have them, so it wouldn't request subsequent segments Signed-off-by: Jesús --- youtube/static/js/av-merge.js | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 32 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'youtube/static/js/av-merge.js') diff --git a/youtube/static/js/av-merge.js b/youtube/static/js/av-merge.js index fb8b50c..8915ba6 100644 --- a/youtube/static/js/av-merge.js +++ b/youtube/static/js/av-merge.js @@ -316,7 +316,38 @@ Stream.prototype.segmentInBuffer = function(segmentIdx) { var entry = this.sidx.entries[segmentIdx]; // allow for 0.01 second error var timeStart = entry.tickStart/this.sidx.timeScale + 0.01; - var timeEnd = (entry.tickEnd+1)/this.sidx.timeScale - 0.01; + + /* Some of YouTube's mp4 fragments are malformed, with half-frame + playback gaps.
