Should you worry about it?Ībsolutely not, so long that you stay away from this video and any videos that are known to crash Discord. Like Macs, Linux computers will also remain unaffected by this video and you won’t end up losing your current Discord session. As expected, the crash issue doesn’t appear to affect Mac systems as both the desktop and web apps of Discord are able to play the video like any other video. What happens if I play this video on Linux and Mac?įor the sake of testing, we tried sharing and playing the “slap” video on the Discord app on our Mac and its web client. We even tried testing the Discord app and web client on our MacBook to check if it did anything, but nothing weird happens.
Linux and macOS machines using the Discord app to play this video won’t succumb to any kind of crashes. The Discord crash video only affects Discord desktop clients running on Windows PCs.Ĭomment from discussion AmyGirlVl’s comment from discussion "This video crashes discord for me on PC…". In fact, the file is so corrupted, it fails to load up even on the VLC, which is known to support a wide range of file formats, no matter how large.īut you need to make sure you stay clear of this video the next time you bump into it on Discord. The “slap” video isn’t any sort of virus or malware but just a corrupted file. Here’s a technical explanation in case you were looking for one. It’s able to switch between different resolutions which Discord fails to do. Since Discord’s Windows client is based on Chromium, this is as much Discord’s shortcoming as it is Chromium’s. But the video, however, doesn’t fail to load on Google Chrome or other Chromium-based browsers on Windows. Because the changes in color and resolution cannot be handled well by Discord’s player after you start playing the video, it dies taking the Discord app with it.
When Discord’s native mp4 player tries to read it, it fails to load the video as it has alternating resolutions and color spaces and it has to switch between different values during playback. This video fails to load up on Discord because it is made using the FFmpeg command line and stitching two videos of different resolutions and color spaces together into one file.
This is believed to be done using a hex editor using which the video was modified with confusing data and thus making Discord unable to play it. The reason why many Windows systems are crashing after you attempt to play this video is that the file in question is corrupted. Why does Discord crash every time you play that video?
