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.

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

it was back this morning, probably because of an update.

I tabooed the lib, but is there a way to taboo only the opensuse version, not the packman one when it come?

if you are updating using yast, I don't know. but using zypper you can. zypper addlock --repo <package> zypper al --help and if you look at /etc/zypp/locks, you see things like repo: Tumbleweed.OSS repo: Tumbleweed.dairix_darktable repo: Tumbleweed.graphics repo: Tumbleweed.packman type: package match_type: glob case_sensitive: on solvable_name: darktable* I have locked(out) darktable* (all darktable packages) from four repos I have 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

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

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.

And, BTW, I did try running Firefox as a new user (firefox -P) -- no difference.

BC

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.

may be, but I try to avoid google when I can. Google is a great search engine, but I'ts better not have all his eggs in the same basket :-)

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.

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.
