The "two loading icons" may be on YouTube's side (to be filed under Tech Evangelism). The playback issue may be an issue of performance but could be filed under Core::Video/Audio

Just want to check with Dale, are we supposed to handle embedded YouTube videos in any special way?

The embeded file is webm file and FFOS uses S/W codec for that file.
The laggy problem comes from S/W codec.
So....It's codec limitation if the video clip has large resolution.

Yup there isnt anything special we do / are supposed to for embedded youtube videos, we correctly get the embedded youtube player

The problem here looks like http://polygamia.pl doesnt recognise us as mobile and sends us the full site, I cant even load the full site without crashing on the inari, but I imagine they request a high resolution video on the desktop site than their dedicated mobile site

Is there actually anything we can do to get videos like this to play, or is it simply that the web page is too resource intensive and can not be played on a smartphone with such low specifications? Perhaps this is a case of evangelism with the site owner to send a mobile-optimised version of their site.

There is nothing we can do to play videos that are beyond the capability of the hardware unfortunately.

Leo, Are you unable to use any embedded youtube or is it specific to this site? 

If the latter, is this a popular site in a target market that you are concerned about? If so we can reach out to them to ask for a better mobile experience but at the moment I am unable to even load the page on a Leo device.

Moving to tech evangelism, I don't believe there's any further action we can take here in engineering.

Note: That component move seemed to automatically remove the QE2 target milestone, is anyone able to set this back?

No, the milestone is specific to B2G components.

Embedded youtube is working okey.
The issue is specific to this site. This site is having a mobile version also.
If we access mobile version same video is playing well.

If we change the user agent to android, it is automatically redirected to the mobile site and videos are playing fine.
