1002373 - No Videos on BBC Displaying [Flash Video Player]

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(External Software Affecting Firefox Graveyard :: Flash (Adobe), defect, P3)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140421221237

Steps to reproduce:

I was browsing bbc.co.uk and bbc.com on Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit. Among other pages, I attempted to watch the videos found here http://www.bbc.com/news/world/europe/ -- arbitrarily one could try this specific video: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-27177651


Actual results:

I was unable to get any videos to display anything aside from the preview images. Selecting more than a dozen videos and patiently attempting to watch them gave consistent results: a dark block where the video should have been, no audio and no video.

Switching to IE and Opera allowed me to watch the videos.


Expected results:

The videos should have played.

I'm closing a lot of bugs which are filed as Adobe Flash bugs which are either irrelevant, not actionable, or not serious enough to track in the Mozilla bug tracker. For the most part, Flash bugs should be filed in Adobe bugbase, and we'll only track a few highly-critical issues in the Mozilla tracker.
