Strange network behaviour for some videos

[SudevKiyadaTR]

Hi there!

Been using the lib since past 3-4 months. We have observed a particularly strange behaviour with some of the videos in Svelte.

The page doesn't load up the video correctly while firing the URL on new tab. It receives multiple 304s but never loads up the video. The video loads up fine upon subsequent hard refreshes.

While this doesn't happen every time, I was able to narrow it down to some videos leading to this behaviour.

I would expect something like that for larger videos, but that was not the case during my inspection. Attaching one of such videos where I am facing the said issue.

Update:
If it helps, I was able to get it to load up fine by bumping up the timeout set in videoDecoder.js to close the decoder.

Hi @SudevKiyadaTR! I haven't seen this issue myself, but do you have minimal reproduction case of the code you're using? I am very curious about why this might be happening as well.

Hey @dkaoster, created a sandbox here with a preview link here.

hi @SudevKiyadaTR I'm not able to see the 304s as you've mentioned. You're saying that it only shows up for certain videos and only with the svelte component? Does this error show up in the pure js version as well?
