Regardless, I was using it before this started. However, I've noticed something curious, when watching the connection withWireshark. There's a few packets (TLS v1.2), ending with an ack from my computer to port 443 (SSL), then all traffic stops for about a minute, then more packets and again stopping on that ack. The cycle repeats at approx 1 minute intervals, while the dot goes around the circle. Try reboot the router.

A router wouldn't worry about ACKs, regardless it has been rebooted a few days back. Also, that same router is used when those videos work fine on Windows.

Create a new virtual machine running Linux, try it.

Someone suggested tell you to check if flashplayer is installed.

Nothing has changed here in that regard.

Another person on the Spanish mail list comments a very strange but similar problem he has with youtube, this time using Windows, with chrome or Firefox. IE still works. Fails when he uses the network of the site he is at, accessing his client network with his given login. Any variation and it works again, like taking the laptop to another place, or using his login on another computer.

However, I did happen to have a 42.2 VM, which I had created before installing it as my main OS. That VM played those videos. I then cloned that VM and verified it played the video. Next, I updated the cloned VM to the latest updates and SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE, the videos now fail. I went back to the original VM and those videos played OK. So, this problem was caused by some update that appeared with the past 2 weeks or so. I verified this by taking a VM where the videos worked, but then failed after the updates. Incidentally, I first came across this problem on my desktop system and also experienced it on my notebook. Both the 42.2 and Windows 10 Virtualbox VMs are on my desktop system. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Find out what file does avc1.4d400d?

Found two sites:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16363167/html5-video-tag-codecs-attribut...

So, was there an update recently that would affect that? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

On the Spanish mail list someone commented a more or less similar problem (Windows). But he can download the video using wget (which you can get using the cliget addon to firefox). I guess that you can instead of wget give the link to VLC and download while watching on the fly. Or you can try using "youtube-dl", a CLI command to which you give the page URL and it parses the page to download the video. This is the one I use (packman). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Why should any of that be necessary? It worked fine, until a recent update. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, I know, but: you find out if those tools can get the videos, two, you get a backup method. And you can add the info to the bugzilla.

According to the bug report, they've concluded it has something to do with ffmpeg and cuda. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It was caused by ffmpeg creating a cuda specific h264 codec and the browsers preferring it but it won't work on video hardware that doesn't support it. I had to switch to openSUSE's official ffmpeg to see the bug in firefox. I rebuilt ffmpeg without cuda and the problem was solved. The update is in update test atm and will appear soon. The reason most other users didn't see the bug is that they use Packman ffmpeg.

How curious! Thank you for the feedback. :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
