1066770 - CNN Video Doesn't Cast

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Screencasting, defect, P5)

Description

[Robert (rrayborn, he/him)]

Cheng Wang and I had issues getting CNN videos to Chromecast (which is the example used in our blog post: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2014/09/05/road-test-sending-video-to-chromecast-and-roku-in-firefox-for-android-beta/ )

Beta would connect to the Chromecast, the video title would load and the screen would go black, but then nothing would happen.  This might be a CNN or a Chromecast issue; the Chromecast works fine for other videos.

Thanks
