blip.tv - no video plays

:: Steps To Reproduce

We get the mobile version and things appear to work fine until I try to actually play a video - I get just a black area instead of the expected video content. (I've waited for a while to try to make sure it's not just a slow network issue or something)..

:: Expected Result

video

:: Actual Result

no video

There's some clunky browser detection here:

	,embedByBrowser:function(){
		var target=$("#"+this.config.target);
		if(this.config.ios||this.config.ipad||this.config.android){
			this.embedMobile(target,this.config.android?"android":"ios");
		}
		else{
			if(this.config.isIE&&$("html").hasClass("lte7")){
				target.remove();
document.write('<div id="'+this.config.target+'">'+this.getLessIE8TagEmbedCode()+"</div>");
			}
			else{
				return this.embedFlash();
			}
		}
	}
	,initPlayer:function(callback){
		if(this.config.ios||this.config.ipad||this.config.android){
			this.initHTMLPlayer(callback);
		}
		else{
			this.initFlashPlayer(callback);
		}
	}
	,initHTMLPlayer:function(callback){
		var self=this,player=this.getPlayerObject();
		if(this.config.ios||this.config.android){
			window.controls=new BLIP.PlayerControls.HTML5PlayerControls({
				player:player,siteURL:this.config.siteURL
			}
			);
			BLIP.Object.prototype.fireEvent("player.embedded",{
				isHTML5:true,player:player,controls:window.controls
			}
			);
			if(typeof callback==="function"){
				callback();
			}
		}
	}

Response from Twitter: Thanks, forwarding along to our technology team. Future requests for help can be sent to http://support.blip.com  - thx again!

Will wait for a response.
No response, creating a ticket on the support site.
Response from support:
"The engineering team is aware of this issue and is working on a fix. We have a fix for the Android that should be going out shortly, and we also believe we have a fix for the OS, though we have not been able to verify it with an emulator."
We're happy to verify the fix for them if it goes live :)

Emulator is not always a reliable place to test video, I guess.
(I can confirm it's fixed on Android. Perhaps ping them and remind them we can verify the fix on Firefox OS?)
Great thanks Hallvord. I provided the link to the simulator previously but emailed back as you requested, good idea.
I think we have a fix for FFOS. I can view the video on Flame v1.3 nicely but Tarako is crashing.

This seems to have regressed. On Firefox OS we get nothing but the black box. On Android it gets a bit further, but it hangs in a "spinning" state without actually playing the video.

Ops, my test environment was odd - the UA string was empty
