Comment 1

[Kevin Brosnan [Ex-Mozilla]]

I'm offered Flash on that site which Chrome does not support. So the site is sending different content based on user agents. Moving to tech evangelism.

Comment 2

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

When I try to load on Firefox, at a point it displays an infinite wheel.

I get in the console
Trying to look which requests are related to the player:

also some similar functions seems to be loaded twice in player.min.js and player_api.min.js Or maybe it's the devtools showing twice the same code with different names. Strange.

In the HTML we get 

	    <script type="text/javascript">
		    (function() {
			    var isMobile = navigator.userAgent.match(/(iPad|iPhone|Android|android|WPDesktop)/i) != null;
			    var content = '';

			    if (isMobile) {
				    content = '<iframe src="http://cloud.tvigle.ru/video/5289366/?playerId=4&partnerId=7&autoStart=0&id=5289366" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="no" scrolling="no" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>';
			    }
			    else {
				    content = '\x3cobject class\x3d"TviglePlayer"\x3e\x3cparam name\x3d"id" value\x3d"5289366"\x3e\x3cparam name\x3d"autoStart" value\x3d"0"\x3e\x3cparam name\x3d"partnerId" value\x3d"7"\x3e\x3cparam name\x3d"forceFlashObject" value\x3d"true"\x3e\x3cparam name\x3d"playerId" value\x3d"4"\x3e\x3cparam name\x3d"width" value\x3d"100%"\x3e\x3cparam name\x3d"height" value\x3d"100%"\x3e\x3cparam name\x3d"useAPI" value\x3d"true"\x3e\x3cparam name\x3d"autoChangeVideo" value\x3d"false"\x3e\x3c/object\x3e\x3cscript language\x3d"JavaScript" type\x3d"text/javascript" data-hang\x3d"false" src\x3d"//cloud.tvigle.ru/static/player/player_builder.min.js"\x3e\x3c/script\x3e'
			    }

			    document.write(content);
		    })();
	    </script>

So we get the iframe at the URI.

doing window.location = 'http://cloud.tvigle.ru/video/5289366/?playerId=4&partnerId=7&autoStart=0&id=5289366'
helps isolate the context for testing.

After The MessageGateway

So the issue is before.

Hallvord, do you see where it's blocking?

Comment 3

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

Android|android plus an /i switch for the isMobile regexp - really? :-p Noting also that the regexp will fail in Firefox OS browser.

Apart from that, no - haven't found the real problem yet. Spoofing Android on desktop (and disabling Flash) it doesn't load but it does show a static frame from the video (a bit like the canplay event isn't firing) and there's some overlay element that prevents actually clicking the play button so one can't start it manually. Removing the overlay lets you start the video from the UI. But on Android thing seem different since we don't even get the static frame, just a spinner..

There's another IFRAME lurking on that URL, loading this:

And the actual video markup is like this:
http://jsfiddle.net/1Lkn3vkx/
- it plays OK on Android if you long-press and choose "play" in the menu.

Oddly enough, today it's suddenly working for me.. Can you still reproduce?

Comment 6

[Alex Male]

It's correct. Works for me too. Was probably changed on the webpage. So we can close here. Thanks!
