1186744 - http://videomega.tv/ player displays "...Firefox has performance issues..." overlay on videos.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Mauricio Navarro Miranda]

Attachment: Screenshot-1.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
Build ID: 20150721004010

Steps to reproduce:

Go to some video of 'verseriesynovelas'

Example: verseriesynovelas. tv/2015/06/dragon-ball-z-la-resurreccion-de-freezer-online.html




Actual results:

There is a thing on some (all) of their videos that says:
>>Use Google Chrome or IE Browsers because Firefox have performance issues and will prevent you from having a perfect user experience

I think they are using some external source or external flash player, because website is mainly in Spanish. I think Firefox does not have that issues, but with flash one never know


Expected results:

1. Firefox shouldn't have performance issues displaying flash videos.
2. Websites shouldn't say that things :(

may be can we work together with website (or video flash player provider) to get those "performance issues" fixed, and that message fixed too?

It's refreshing that video site for pirated cams of films is concerned about UX...

Jokes aside, this video player comes from http://videomega.tv/. We should reach out to them to see what's up.

This appears to be controller by the server, if you're Firefox you get the following. Spoofing as IE doesn't have the content overlay.

videojs("container").overlay({
  content: "<strong>Use Google Chrome or IE browsers because Firefox have performance issues and will prevent you from having a perfect user experience</strong>",
  overlays: [{
    start: 0,
    end: 10,
    align: "bottom-right"
  }]
});

In their homepage, if you scroll down, you can see "Gallery Use "Google Chrome" to see our videos"...

This site no longer works. Server is up but returns no content, regardless of browser.

If the site comes back and the issue still exists, please reopen this bug.

The home page is currently broken, but I expect it to be a temporary thing because other URLs work (e.g. http://videomega.tv/?ref=AJWOLaJQKbbKQJaLOWJA).
