User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0 Build ID: 20160922113459 Steps to reproduce: http://Jesusnjim.com/pix/pix.html see 2 videos that are grayed out with ff 49.0.1 on xp 32-bit (vlc is installed if it helps any) Actual results: videos are x'd out and do not play or show. Expected results: should have worked on ff. used to.
something has seriously broken ff due to the bugs I am seeing.
ogv is supported. see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Typing_example.ogv the reason why it's not shown in your page is that simply the file is not found. http://jesusnjim.com/pix/PICT0687.ogv http://jesusnjim.com/pix/PICT0679.ogv MPEG2 is not supported and won't be supported (bug 541286).

the log clearly says it's 404. file is not found.

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/embedded-content.html#the-video-element hasn't gone away either. hope this helps. that's the bug. reporting 404. the filenames are exact. it's having particular trouble with the .ogv format. (using the address bar directly). and it plays on my installed vlc like pixel garbage. should be pristine snow. so that's another bug elsewhere. the 404 is probably from the .ogv file which is these and correctly spelled and upperlower-cased, but ff refuses to load it.

that's your web server's issue. your web server is not configured to return the file for the URL.

I think it may have been due to case, a video converter I was using capitalized the filename instead of retaining its former case sensitivity and treated it as a word, in certain instances. bug in their product. since *nix is case sensitive, this caused a problem. I verified correct working for ogv, but webm does not work. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats according to this page, ff should support webm in both audio and video source tags. maybe the video converter is junk. but I have no way of checking. there is an overlay on the video I think. and it may have been the format that ffmpeg crashed on during the making - one of them.

Do not reopen a bug for different issue. it makes hard to track it. If you think it's a bug related to webm playback, please file a new bug.
