Trying to play any of the current videos on http://play.brightcove.com/ start a loading animation, then the video element throws up an error message saying "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt". Trying to play the very same video works fine in Firefox for Android.
There's a demo of this problem here: http://hallvord.com/temp/moz/bug/976930.htm There's a <video> element with multiple <source> elements inside, and a script that sets video.src to point to one of the URLs from the <source> elements (presumably after checking which format(s) are supported). This causes the problem.
Gaia doesn't play videos, Gecko does. Moving to Core > Audio/Video for investigation.
Component: Gaia::Browser → Video/Audio
Product: Firefox OS → Core
What FxOS version was this tested on?
