1845048 - Picture-in-Picture (PiP) pop-out not offered for www.zdf.de videos

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Picture-in-Picture, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Firefox 117.0a1 20230723212527 on Windows 10

The videos are likely restricted to Germany.

Videos at https://www.zdf.de don't offer the pop-out to show the window outside the tab.

Example: https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/heute-journal

This still works as expected with Firefox 115.0.2

ZDF uses disablepictureinpicture="true" for the <video> element, which Firefox respects since bug 1832154. PiP can be enabled anyway via the address bar or with shift + right click.

:niklas, since you are the author of the regressor, bug 1832154, could you take a look? Also, could you set the severity field?

For more information, please visit BugBot documentation.

Yes, this is also controllable via the media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.respect-disablePictureInPicture pref.

I believe this is working as intended.

@aryx FYI, I wrote to ZDF and 3sat about this.

Wrote to them again, after I was about to file another ticket about this.
Asking if disablepictureinpicture="true" can be set to false or removed.
