I want to report a bug
Subject: Bug Report: Video player crashes when scrolling long transcripts (Remotion startFrom TypeError)
Message:
Hi Adobe Podcast Team,
I'm writing to report a bug that makes working with long audio files currently very frustrating.
The Issue: I am working on a 6-hour project. When I scroll through the transcript, the video player suddenly crashes and displays a yellow exclamation mark. This issue is new; everything used to work perfectly fine with my exact same setup (Google Chrome, standard settings, no extensions, same internet connection).
Technical Details: I opened the Chrome Developer Console and found the exact issue. It seems your Remotion player is calculating a negative timestamp when scrolling through long transcripts:
TypeError: startFrom must be greater than equal to 0 instead got -1.at validateStartFromProps (index.mjs:2472:13)at OffthreadVideo (index.mjs:7145:5)[StudioVideoPlayer] ERROR: Remotion player error
Since this is a clear calculation error in the web app's code (index.mjs) during scrolling, I obviously cannot fix this on my end.
Could you please pass this log on to your development team so they can patch it?
Also, since this bug has been severely slowing down my workflow on a previously perfect tool, I’d be thrilled if you guys could throw a free month or two of premium my way as a little "bug bounty." 😉
Thanks in advance for looking into this!
Best regards,
Seb.
PS: podcasts worked fine always with same setup until now….
Win10/Chrome latest no extensions/fast internet
