Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect, P1)

Description

[GH to BZ]

[GitHub issue by tonychung on 2012-09-28T23:03:14Z, https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/issues/5476]
Redirecting a youtube video to the Video App, will get stopped by the screen that contains thumbnails of video media.   And there's no way to proceed with playing the video.  Instead, it should bypass this media screen, and go straight to the youtube content.

## Environment :
* Otoro daily: 9-28-2012
* gaia commit: dbe752c2bc61835a92469cb0e35ad5d938a754d5
* gecko commit: 5e9ba780a2f3db83364a87a7b976eafe4ae834b2


## Repro :
1. go to Everything.me or youtube.com
2. search for the youtube app, and play any of the available videos shown
3. An activity is triggered and should launch the Video App
4. Verify the screen with current media content will appear, and block any path from proceeding with the youtube content

## Expected :
* playing a youtube app will launch the video app and start playing the content within the Video player

## Actual :
* Media content landing page blocks the video from proceeding.

Is this youtube?
Is this e.me?
Is this the Video app?

Blocking since common case is broken - watch youtube videos.

Viewing a youtube video specifically - which results in launching the video in the video app.

Yes I understand that. Sorry my comment was not clear - I was ruminating on the source of the problem.

eg: does e.me or the shell pull the video direct URL out? or just passes the page URL to Video app via the activity?

[[:fabrice] Fabrice Desré]

The video app gets the url of the video to play (directly usable in a <video> element) from gecko through an activity.

It's a permissions issue.

It looks like something has changed on the youtube side

I have created 2 bugs, this was caused by a change to the youtube API that required a new parameter. Thats one of the bugs and it has a fix attached.

When I fixed that one the video refused to play as it couldnt be decoded, that may be an issue with my hardware but filed a bug in case

[Dale Harvey (:daleharvey)]

Tracking bugs resolved, tested and it works now

Verified on 10/29 build that user can follow the steps above - clicking a video on youtube and having it play with the video app.
