I saw this first on Flame device in run:

I see that the frame shown in the attachment screenshot always appears before the video loads.
I will try to see if this is happening on Hamachi.

Comment 2

[Zac C (:zac)]

timeout=files_number * 5

That wait seems too short to me. I think it should be more like (in pseudo-code):
default_timeout + (files_number * 5)

Or something to that effect.

Zac I opened bug 1020298, because I tried with bigger timeout 10 and 15 seconds and the videos still didn't load. 
The test still failed intermittently with the timeout changed, and as a Firefox OS user I wouldn't want to wait more than 5 seconds really.
