Help with metadata: stopping+starting in Firefox
2 CommentsSorted by Oldest First
Hello,
The issue is in your js:
...
aud.textTracks.addEventListener('addtrack', function(addTrackEvent) {
var track = aud.textTracks[0];
...
Replace the second line with:
var track = addTrackEvent.track;
in this way you will get the actual track added to the dom element.
By pressing stop/play, a new text track is created and added to the end of the track list. This is really strange how it works with Chrome, but the reason to see the issue with Firefox is that on "addtrack" event, you add listener to the first track created, which is never changed after the second one is created.
The patch above is tested and seems to work as expected.
It's working. Thank you so much!
I found the event code on your site long ago, but it appears fixed there too.

I have a problem that when stopping play and starting it again, I lose the metadata events in Firefox. (I believe it was the same in Chrome a while ago, but it works in the latest version).
After 1 to 4 stops+starts, the metadata stops coming.
I stop the live audio stream using viblast(aud).stop(). There are metadata issues also when pausing it for a longer time, but I do not want to pause.
