Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: On migration, the destination host does not send the client its multi-media time (does not send MSG_MAIN_INIT). Consequence (from comment #0): If there is no audio playback, and the 2 hosts that are involved in migration have different uptime, the client that is connected during migration, holds the multi-media time of the source server. Then, video frames that are created after migration (and thus hold the destination mm-time), are dropped by the client. Fix: Make destination host send multi-media time after migration. Result: Video without audio now plays successfully.

Description Yonit Halperin 2013-04-30 15:31:21 EDT
Description of problem:
If there is no audio playback, and the 2 hosts that are involved in migration have different uptime, the client that is connected during migration, holds the multi-media time of the source server. Then, video frames that are created after migration (and thus hold the destination mm-time), are dropped by the client.

Disconnecting and reconnecting the client will eliminate the inconsistency.

How reproducible:
(1) VM without audio device (I'm not sure that just muting the sound will stop sending audio frames to the client).
(2) connect a client to the vm
(3) migrate between 2 hosts with significantly different mm-time
(4) play video.
    An alternative to (1) is to play a video without a soundtrack.

Additional info:
When there is a soundtrack, the client updates it mm-time by using the audio frames mm-time.
This bug is complementary to bug #951664
