Pausing/Reversing A YouTube Video Crashes Chrome

Reported by ozzi...@gmail.com, Dec 25 2016 
IMPORTANT: Your crash has already been automatically reported to our crash system. Please file this bug only if you can provide more information about it.


Chrome Version: 55.0.2883.87
Operating System: Windows NT 10.0.14393

URL (if applicable) where crash occurred:

Can you reproduce this crash?

No, it's not reproducible in any reliable way, but it happens almost exclusively when I pause YouTube videos often.

What steps will reproduce this crash? (If it's not reproducible, what were you doing just before the crash?)

Pausing a YouTube video several times a minute by clicking on the video itself, and sometimes reversing using the mouse pointer by dragging the progress line. I did not use the SPACE-key or the K-key to pause it, so it is unclear if it's really the pausing causing the crash or if it's the mouse-clicking itself.

DO NOT CHANGE BELOW THIS LINE****

Can this happen on every youtube video? Could you please list some videos where you've seen this?

Yes, so far from my experience it can happen on any video if I move the progress line forward or backwards enough times, or pause and resume it often. 
It happens more often on longer videos (20 - 60 mins) but has happened on shorter videos as well. Just a minute ago, it happened again. The browser froze and reloaded after about 30 seconds.

Thanks, that's good to know. Another question: do you often have a lot of other youtube videos open (either playing or paused) when this happens?

Comment 6 by ozzi...@gmail.com, Jan 9 2017 

I'm sorry for the delayed response. I wanted to confirm the question you asked  before I got back to you. I do sometimes have a few tabs of paused YouTube videos open but mostly it's only one tab of YouTube. The problem can occur on any of these situations. 
Recently I was viewing an embedded YouTube video on reddit, and it made the browser crash as well, when fast-forwarding. This time however it only froze for a few seconds, making the browser unresponsive, but it reloaded again. 
I'm happy to help with more questions. Thank you.
