Can't play a specific live stream on youtube
Thank you mod for deleting my message, very helpful, instead of trying to solve an issue. Very helpful, thank you, good job there. A+++++
I'll try again though.
THere's one particular youtube stream, but I guess I can't post a link? I was trying to watch London Chess CLassics tournament which is going live right now but I can't. I get "An error occured" Please try again later. This only happens when trying to watch this particular tournament, other youtube live videos play fine. I can watch the tournament on chrome, but I hate chrome. I want it to work in Firefox.
Is is possible? I'd post a link but the message will get deleted as spam or something. So if someone is kind enough to help, please search youtube for london chess live and see if it plays for you.

Can't play youtube live video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiDhj1Vq-uQ
Doesn't work on Firefox, works on Chrome. I have been unable to watch this tournament on Firefox (several days, various streams, same result - error. try again later)
I posted this in general forum, but my message went into abyss without any note, I don't know whats going on.

See here http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3035907 for a possible workaround, and the encouragement that a related bug should be fixed when Firefox 58 is released.

Re: Can't play a specific live stream on youtube
This link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiDhj1Vq-uQ plays fine for me because it's not currently a live stream coming across as VP9 WebM. Normal videos coded in VP9 play fine. It's just the live streams.
The bug in question is: 1362440 - [MSE] WebM segments with Tags elements not properly handled.
Now this: NASA Live - Earth From Space (HDVR) ♥ ISS LIVE FEED #AstronomyDay2017 | Subscribe now! - YouTube which is live, does toss up an error for me in 57. Setting media.webm.enabled to false and reloading the page, it will play. In 58 beta, it plays fine with that set to true.

Might also be OS related.

Re: Can't play a specific live stream on youtube
The issue is as noted in the Bug referenced above.
I know not what a "Youtube live feed" is, but is seems some "live feeds" may at times not be live, so if a particular "live feed" works for you (on FF 57, or even SeaMonkey 2.49 [likewise affected]) then it might not be "live" at the particular point in time you looked. Also possible that Youtube will make changes on their end. Otherwise work-around as noted in the bug, or seemingly FF will have a "fix" in 58.
@RobertJ, check about:config, filter on 'webm'. Confirm that you have "...webm.enabled", disabled (false).
Reset it to default (true), & confirm that NASA no longer works.

Re: Can't play a specific live stream on youtube
.
therube, there are four about:config settings for webm and they are all the default.
media.encoder.webm.enabled ---------------> true
media.mediasource.webm.audio.enabled ------> true
media.mediasource.webm.enabled -----------> false
media.webm.enabled ----------------------> true
Also, the NASA live feed works jut fine as noted above with these DEFAULT settings.
