This site was having issues with their ISP removing the actual video files. Was a video playing when you did the 'copy location'?
To clarify my comment 1, the 'video location' that is copied is obtained from the 'currentSrc' attribute. This is set to the successfully loaded media resource. Since none successfully loads, there is nothing to copy.
no there was no video available but to find that out i wanted to copy the video location and open it in a new window. i think the location should also be available if the video could not be loaded successfully.
Unfortunately this is difficult. For example, what is the location in this video usage if no video loads: <video> <source src="foo.mp4" type="..."/> <source src="bar.ogg" type="..."/> </video> Possibly 'copy location' could try 'currentSrc', then 'src' on the video element, then give up, ignoring the src on the 'source' elements.
Bug 496832 improves this -- it's a little better at trying to get the media location (like comment 4 suggests), and if it can't the menu entry is disabled.
