Then this isn't a compatibility issue then, which makes this a WONTFIX - we don't track feature requests for external sites here.

It is not the only other site's problem, but also a protocol implementation's problem. Android youtube app uses "http live streaming protocol to playback". Without the protocol's implementation. Youtube Live can not be playback. Firefox OS does not support "http live streaming protocol". So, even when Youtube does not block on this, Firefox OS can not playback the Youtube Live video.

(In reply to Sotaro Ikeda [:sotaro] from comment #5) > I confirmed that chrome beta on android support youtube live. Okay. So that confirms that this is now a compatibility issue. When you use YouTube live on Chrome beta for Android, what protocol is being used? I'm bouncing this over to mobile as this is a general compatibility concern, not really an apps concern (right now, at least).

IIRC, youtube uses HTTP Live streaming protocol for android. Need to confirm about it.
I reconfirm that chrome and chrome beta on android supports youtube live. I misunderstood about it, because some live streamings are not provided for mobile.
I will ask YouTube to confirm if they use the HTTP Live Streaming Protocol for this.

So that confirms that this is now a compatibility issue. Yes, but not necessarily an evangelism issue. If Firefox doesn't support the streaming protocol (c4) we need to fix that first. Do we know how YouTube determines that Firefox is not supported? (UA detection or feature detection) > I'm bouncing this over to mobile as this is a general compatibility concern, > not really an apps concern (right now, at least). I think you're correct but given that the apps team already has a working relationship with YouTube, I think it's best to have them handle any request for YouTube.
cc Chris Double and Chris Pearce Can either of you provide any more information about the HTTP Live streaming protocol and support in Firefox for Android and Firefox OS?

Okay. So if we confirm that HLS is not supported in our gecko platform, then this becomes a platform bug in the core video/audio component.
I know HLS is not supported in gecko. There is a implementation of MPEG-DASH. It is incompatible to HLS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Adaptive_Streaming_over_HTTP

Firefox for android and B2G uses MediaExtractor::Create() to create parser when using stagefright for video playback. It does not detect if the video is HLS. http://androidxref.com/4.3_r2.1/xref/frameworks/av/media/libstagefright/MediaExtractor.cpp#53 In andrid, HLS is detected at the following. http://androidxref.com/4.0.4/xref/frameworks/base/media/libmediaplayerservice/MediaPlayerService.cpp#583 In andrid, HLS data source is created at the following. http://androidxref.com/4.0.4/xref/frameworks/base/media/libmediaplayerservice/nuplayer/NuPlayer.cpp#97
Summary: Youtube Live is not supported on B2G → Youtube Live is not supported
Depends on: 900093
Depends on: 900095
I created following bugs for each platform. On desktop, flash plugin is used for the live stream playback. - Bug 900093 - HLS support on B2G - Bug 900095 - HLS support on android
My understanding is that Media Source Extensions will be used to support the live streaming type functionality in the browser. Bug 778617 is where that is being tracked. Bug 881512 is the tracking bug for getting enough implemented for YouTube's demo player.
Also see bug 577084.
Does someone know youtube use MSE for live streaming? If it is supported in the distant future, firefox mobile and B2G lacks support of this service.
Sounds like bug 577084 is tracking this then.
