same as you on firefox, but run on chromium

I think INA video are downloadable, so you may  download it first if necessary (I did so for family archives)

Meh! Seems like even that won't work. I right-clicked where the video should be, went to This Frame -> View Frame Source, and dug out the video URL (https://www.ina.fr/video/LXF99002015), then tried to load that in another tab. I still get a message, on the INA site, about having to update my browser. I don't see anywhere on that page to download the file. So maybe there's some kind of additional HTML codec support added somewhere between Firefox 52 and 58, and not backported to the ESR version. Something I read earlier today suggested FF60ESR was being readied for Leap 42.3. Not sure when though. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

there is a special interface somewhere with search capability, but it was some month ago, I don't remember the details

there are also some other ways:

I use esr

52.7.3 (64 bits)

but may be it was not this version when I dl the video :-(

Honestly I think I'll leave it for the meantime. This is the first instance I've come across and it's not life-ruining. Leap 15 and/or FF60 will be along soon. Upgrading to one or both might magically resolve it. In the meantime if I really need to watch anything that won't play I can stick my other PC on. But I know I've watched videos on the INA site in the past so maybe they've recoded everything. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

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.

Probably the same. It ends 'veuillez mettre à jour votre navigateur'.

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.

??? Don't know what you mean.

...

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.

By right-clicking on the video, there is info about jwplayer and a link to jwplayer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

All my media and codec-related stuff is from Packman already.

It's not really too important. Seems there's a complex load of codecs and sub-codecs within the broad definition of HTML5 and I've hit one of the tricky ones. I didn't want to be believe the lazy message from the web developer could be (somewhat) correct but maybe FF52ESR just doesn't cut it.
