[opensuse] no more mp4 (html5) reading on leap 42.3 browsers
I'm not sure if it's related with others threads (about chromium), but since a very short time I'm unable to read mp4 on my leap 43.2 browsers (browsers only) for example this video I just uploaded to my gallery, built with kdenlive and my usual scripts http://dodin.org/piwigo/picture.php?/142551-003_flames/category/7520 I can't read it neither with Firefox nor Chromium I can read Youtube with Firefox, at least this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObBKKv13F2E&list=RDObBKKv13F2E&start_radio=1 but the same do not read on Chromium. Also I noticed that I couldn't anymore read Facebook videos with chromium nor Firefox, for example https://www.facebook.com/WelfarmFR/videos/271545503609293/ any idea? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I can't read it neither with Firefox nor Chromium
I can read Youtube with Firefox, at least this one:

What versions of everything from what repositories are you running? (including the multimedia libraries) and are any of them indicated as having updates available?

next test... Facebook. There is a trick I learned recently to get a copy of facebook videos: open the video, right clic and ask for URL. Paste it in facebook url bar edit the paste to replace the "www" with "m" https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4519859651092&id=1728836476&_rdr open in normal operation, you have a page where firefox can read the video. Now it don't read but ask to save (and do save it). After this one can read the mp4. so looks like it's a mime type problem, not recognized by any browser, but recognized by the (42.3) system is there such setup and where? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Most likely you got a libavcodec58 installed on your system from the official repositories. Since it's official it does not contain h.264 support but Firefox does not know and loads it because it prefers newer versions of libavcodec when loading them dynamically. http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1102671 Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I suffered from the same problem and indeed, removing libavcodec58 and libavformat58 fixed the problem. Now firefox can play mp4 again.

You may recall that I raised this issue in opensuse-offtopic last month (June) (one of my posts is dated 21 June). The way I was advised to stop the video auto playing was to edit this entry in about_config- media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground and change it to read "false" (it originally reads as 'true'). I did this and the videos no longer play auomatically. However, the other part of my angst about this "new way of how to annoy readers" was that the videos would 'slide' their way into the bottom R-H of the screen -- and there was no way to get rid of the darn thing except to "Close" it; and I couldn't find any Add-on which would stop the videos 'sliding' into the bottm R-H of screen. Well, there IS a solution for this nuisance invented by some nerd developer: Firefox v 61.0.1. I don't know what was changed in FF v61.0.1 but those videos no longer find their way into the bottom R-H of screen! FF 61.0.1 is installed in (latest) Tumbleweed but not available for Leap 15 so I had to download it and install it manually in Leap 15.

The way I read it, "false" means do not block, ie, play immediately.
However, the other part of my angst about this "new way of how to annoy readers" was that the videos would 'slide' their way into the bottom R-H of the screen -- and there was no way to get rid of the darn thing except to "Close" it; and I couldn't find any Add-on which would stop the videos 'sliding' into the bottm R-H of screen.
Right. Several pages play that dirty trick. It is horrible on my smartphone because the pig occupies an awful part of the tiny display. Sometimes it is an add that pops up a video (that fortunately does not play) but its black window floats at the bottom impeding me reading the page.

Plays fine here. FF 60.1.0esr on Leap 42.3
odd (for me :-(). Most probably some plugin (?) update as it is the same with new account and firefox nightly (and chromium)
On my 15.0 it loads and plays automatically. I hate that. I also hate video loading before I hit "play", because sometimes I'm on a metered Internet connection. Even more hateful when it happens on a mobile phone.
You may recall that I raised this issue in opensuse-offtopic last month (June) (one of my posts is dated 21 June).
The way I was advised to stop the video auto playing was to edit this entry in about_config-
media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground
and change it to read "false" (it originally reads as 'true'). I did this and the videos no longer play auomatically.
The way I read it, "false" means do not block, ie, play immediately.
well, apparently others agreed and were confused. it has bee changed sometime recently to: media.autoplay.enabled -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

However, the other part of my angst about this "new way of how to annoy readers" was that the videos would 'slide' their way into the bottom R-H of the screen -- and there was no way to get rid of the darn thing except to "Close" it; and I couldn't find any Add-on which would stop the videos 'sliding' into the bottm R-H of screen. Right.
Several pages play that dirty trick. It is horrible on my smartphone because the pig occupies an awful part of the tiny display.
Sometimes it is an add that pops up a video (that fortunately does not play) but its black window floats at the bottom impeding me reading the page.
Well, there IS a solution for this nuisance invented by some nerd developer: Firefox v 61.0.1. I don't know what was changed in FF v61.0.1 but those videos no longer find their way into the bottom R-H of screen! Oh :-)
FF 61.0.1 is installed in (latest) Tumbleweed but not available for Leap 15 so I had to download it and install it manually in Leap 15. (It would be very nice if FF 61.0.1 was to become available for Leap 15.) I think there is an extra repo, testing or something. :-?
I will include here a response to what Patrick wrote in the msg following the one I am now responding to. To begin, I have to take back what I wrote re the solution to the videos 'sliding' to the bottom R-H of screen: installing Firefox 61.0.1 does NOT solve the annoyance :-(. My "Eureka!" was based on the result I am getting on my laptop where I have both Leap 15 and Tumbleweed installed and where I do all my testing before I apply whtever-changes to my Desktop. However, when I did same on the Desktop and checked FF's behaviour in (latest) Tumbleweed the video PITA still occurs :-(. So there is something existing on the laptop which stops the video annoyance but which is not present on the Desktop. Just off the top of my head, it is possible that it may have something to do with the nVidia driver (currently 390.77 for the FX1060 gpu I have) which is installed on Desktop but the laptop has a nvidia optimus gizmos and uses different driver. @Patrick. The item 'media.autoplay.enabled' is not a new one: it is also present in FF 60.1.0esr in Leap 15.0 and so it doesn't change anything re the video annoyance. So, Carlos et al, it's back to the drawing board re the video sliding to the bottom of the screen but at least it now no longer auto-plays.

I came across a discussion re the "sliding video player" annoyance and while one person provided a script to be added to one of the FF Add-ons (but this also meant having to add names to that script of each website where you struck this problem), the easiest way is to simply prevent javascript on the website by using NoScript. This is exactly what I found when using dailymail.co.uk -- setting this site as 'Untrusted' stopped the video sliding to the bottom r-h of screen. However, there are side-effects of activating this setting (eg, you lose the Comments at the end of any article) so it is up to you to see whether you want to use this setting in NoScript.

I use Google Chrome only on some sites where FF doesn't work, because a "commercial" browser has a greater chance. On some commercial sites. For instance: <http://play.cadenaser.com/> It is radio station. I hit "Escuchar ahora" (play now) on firefox and it does simply nothing. The button at the top. Today I notice that there is some kind of float at the bottom with a [>]/[||] (play/pause) button that does work after hitting it twice. In Chrome, I first get a popup asking for my location to choose which transmitter. Like the one for my city or another one. And when clicking the main button at the top it starts a _video_ commercial, and after it, the radio starts on the float player. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

There are quite a few rough edges to smooth over in FF60+. Gtk3 + HTML5, I suspect we will see a number of oopes everything from "Why don't the input dialogs fit in my forms anymore?" to "Why doesn't this video play?" to "Why does my page print with the header overwriting the first 1/3 of the page content?" Glad to be among the brave early adopters... For now, 52.9esr still works, the forms fit, no problems with video or print -- I'll stay that way a little longer. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Yes, because the commercial at the start will not play. If the button waits for the finish of the video before enabling itself, that would be it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Dunno. As long as there is a button below that I can hit that will start the radio, I'm fine. Better without the commercials, not my problem ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Yes, same here. Except that the button at the top doesn't work. Last time I tried was two weeks ago and I the overlay below, the one you clicked, was not visible.
