1840127 - AppleTV+ doesn't render show videos

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1724027

(GeckoView :: Media, defect)

Description

[Brian Kardell]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to https://tv.apple.com/ and login
2. Click any show to watch

Actual results:

The pre-show commercial plays fine, but the actual show will quickly display just artifacts or/until it is just a dark display. The sound plays fine.

Expected results:

It should have decoded and rendered the video as expected/as it does in desktop Firefox/other browser.

Appears to have been happening for at least the last few versions

Brian, we just fixed a similar Apple TV bug (bug 1724027) in Firefox 115, which is still in the Firefox Beta channel.

Can you please try testing in Firefox Beta or Nightly? They're separate apps, so you can install them without risk to your regular Firefox's user data.

I does also work in Wolvic, once we apply that patch to the branch we're using. Thanks!
