It works for me. I'm on openSUSE 42.2.
Interestingly, it does not work for me (42.1). I get "We think this page has embedded the HTML5 player, as seen below:" and a picture appears in the box, but when clicking to play the video I get "Sorry, you need Flash to play this."
Why?
Because it's a flash video and requires Flash to play.
Eh, what? I've opted-in to the html5 player.
flash != html5
they are very different.
If he has flashplayer installed on his system and set to "always ask befor starting the plugin" the automatic or manual selection of html5 in FF will not work. If he wishes in this conditions to play html5 he will have to go to "big mac menue" on the left side of the bar, choose supplemental components, - plugins - set flash to "never start" and reload the page. Now it should work as expected.
I have "FlashBlock" addon enabled, which by default also blocks html5. I have to manually disable FB by clicking on the icon at the center of the video window. If i wait doing nothing, the page defaults to flash and the blocker blocks it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
