I don't generally have problems playing videos around the Internet but I've stumbled across one that causes issues on my Leap 42.3 machine. See for example this page (the large video at the top): https://retro.tcl.fr/les-travaux-du-metro-de-la-croix-rousse/
FWIW I see no video there.
I only see a black background with a badly coded (only partially visible) and annoyingly blasé message at the top saying 'in order to view the video, update your browser.'
If I temporarily enable javascript I see a message in French that may or may not mean what you say.
I'm on the standard Firefox 52.8.0ESR release from the Leap update repo. If I try with the latest Opera I see the video keyframe but playback still fails. However, on another box running a different Linux distro and with Firefox 58.0.2 (Quantum) the video plays fine.
I'm on the standard 52.7.3 from Leap 42.3 update. I have no idea why you claim something different.
The info on the video leads me to jwplayer.com,
The letters 'jw' do not appear on the page, so I've no idea what you're talking about.
where all the demo videos play fine on my openSUSE machine, so since it seems to be HTML5-based I don't know what specific codec this troublesome video is using. Does anybody running FF52ESR on Leap have it working?
