In Fenix and Fennec the video on this site plays for ~10 seconds and then resets as it looks like it is buffering. Cannot reproduce on Chrome. Cannot reproduce on Firefox Desktop.

I can reproduce on geckoview_example so this is probably a core video issue.

Jean-Yves, would you mind taking a first pass triage of this.

Seems to be a site issue, they tore down the videos. Pressing play a second times works for me.

Re-assigning to :jhlin so he can have a look, no bandwidth to look at it right now.

:jya is right. It is a site issue. The page serves HLS content and it plays when 'request desktop site' is on. It also plays when directly loading the M3U resource [1] w/o running the livestream.com player script.

Bug 1575184 has similar symptom and the site there uses livestream.com too. Mark this one as duplicate.
