I spy a bunch of JS Errors in console when loading the page in Firefox for Android. 

Probably the big one related to (below) which throws other things off

W/GeckoConsole(13306): [JavaScript Error: "TypeError: st is undefined" {file: "http://secure-eu.imrworldwide.com/novms/js/2/ggcmb390.js" line: 1}]

Yes I see the same error.

aW and aZ are defined earlier as 
var Aw;
var Ax;


  function M(name, cora) {
    var st;
    if (cora == 1) st = aW;
     else st = aX;
    var r = - 1;
    var K = - 1;
    r = st.indexOf('<' + name + '>');
    if (r >= 0) {
      r += name.length + 2;
      K = st.indexOf('</' + name + '>', r);
    }
    if (r >= 0 && K > r) return st.substring(r, K);
    return null;
  };

cora == 0
so st = aX which is undefined.
name = 'censuscategory'

indexOf on something which is undefined can't work. So there is something happening before.

Maybe happening in 

      case 15:
        intCount = 0;
        dr = 0;
        if (f == 'preroll' || f == 'postroll' || f == 'midroll' || f == 'ad') {
          i = 1;
          aW = l;
        } else {
          i = 0;
          aX = l;
        }
        videoType = f;
        bV = i;
        o = i;
        bf(i);
        if (functionType == 15) {
          cU['CS'][i] = 1;
          playState = 1;
        }
        var H = unescape(M('length', bV));
        if (H != null && !isNaN(H)) H = Number(H);
         else H = 30;
        cU['VL'][bV] = H;
        var tit = M('title', bV);
        if (tit != null && tit != '') cU['Title'][bV] = tit;
         else cU['Title'][bV] = d;
        if (bV == 0) ba();
        L = 0;
        cU['SS'][bV] = L;
        dn(i, d, f, j, k);
        ds(i, d, f, j, k);
        break;

But I'm not even sure that is the reason. 
The ads play well, but then when it's time to play the main video, it doesn't start.

This doesn't work in Chrome for Android either.

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

(Haven't re-tested, but if this is still broken we could "move" it to webcompat.com)

Comment 5

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

looking again at that code it looks more like stats script than something powering the video.. I get stuff that looks like desktop content though. If the site has decided to not do a mobile version there's not much we can do about that..

On Firefox Android we receive a mobile version with android version mumber in the UA.

The script for the video player is at:

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

I can't even test this from Norway now, it says (in Chrome) that the video is not available in my country..

Comment 8

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

We need someone in Germany to test these. 
I tried in Japan and it doesn't work be on Chrome or Firefox.
