The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support.
Hello,
While trying to watch "big" mp4 files, I get the error:
The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support.
Smaller files seem to work fine. The problem seem to start around 3-4 GB.
Things I tried:
- Safe mode
- Refresh firefox
- Completely wipe and reinstall, the problem remains.
Since I was due for an OS upgrade, I upgraded to High Sierra. Fresh install (wiped the disk), fresh Firefox install, and the problem remains.
Chrome will load it up after 2-3 seconds. Safari gives the same error.
The file also works in all the players I tried: VLC 1.x, VLC 2.x, VLC 3.x, MPV, MplayerX.
So to recap: Fresh High Sierra install, fresh Firefox install (without sync - no addons), unable to read MP4 files bigger than 3-4 GB.
Help?

Yes I posted after restoring the profile, but after testing.
I encode my own videos so I cannot share them. The problem is with AAC. Firefox doesn't appear to like AAC in big files. Changing to MP3 solved the issue, although quality suffers.

Hi, please try this : Profile : Make a new one and test ...:
As your Profile is cluttered with old add-ons/Extensions ++
No, as mentioned later I reinstalled without sync or addons when I reinstalled the OS.

Since we have no idea where your getting this stream or what services it is no one can see or test the problem out.

It is how we use the information supplied to come to conclusions as to what questions to ask or what could be conflicting.
So reply back as I do not have a answer myself but was letting you know why I asked that.
