1177681 - Trouble resuming webm video from homepage

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect)

Description

[Bogdan Maris, Desktop Test Engineering]

Attachment: Gif showing the issue

Affected builds:
- Firefox ESR 31.8
- Firefox 39.0 RC

Unaffected builds (did not manage to get the video on homepage):
- Latest Aurora
- Latest Nightly

STR:
1. Start Firefox
2. Click homepage icon (until this webm video appears: https://snippets.cdn.mozilla.net/media/files/578456a5-ebcc-4c44-87e3-447e59561ec5.webm)
3. Play the video
4. Pause the video
5. Play the video

Expected results: Video plays after.

Actual results: Video will not play if play button is clicked or click on video, video will resume if volume is toggled.

Notes:
- Hard to say if this is a regression since the video does not appear on all builds (reproduced down to FF 38.0), will try and make a testcase to properly determine if this is a regression or not.

Can you please confirm this is fixed?

Could also have been autoplay or the snippets embed, which doesn't exist any more.

I was unable to reproduce this even on the 'affected' builds from comment 0. I used the snippet from above in an iframe with autoplay but I did not run into issues.
