Vine videos do not play on Firefox.

Post by StealthX »

https://vine.co/v/bFQx23mmUBp and all other vine video links display as a still image. Even in safe mode.

The 4 Flash slide shows here > https://store.justadventure.com/The-Rav ... p_261.html all play for me. Each one has 4 frames that load from upper left across the slide show player when you click each box under the slide show player... There are no Videos on that page according to the page info... And of course the entire page runs with scripts.

This is the link to the vid from the page source http://www.youtube.com/embed/VWyVZiNnse ... owsearch=0

Can you play it... the page code points to youtube but the coding is dodgy...

I don't know what vine plays as but they don't play for anyone I know who uses Firefox and they play fine in every other browser. Instagram videos work fine, youtube videos work fine. Btw The real eee your link works fine for me, it loads the youtube video after a quick flash of what you see for the entire time.

Hopefully this is SFW I just searched Vine on twitter and since the video doesn't play for me I don't know what it is, but does this play for you https://vine.co/v/hb2jilbYaYH Jayhawk

Hmmm you know. Vine videos were working for me (in FF22) and then recently they quit and just show a single image (while I was still on FF22). Hmm..

Same for me, they worked fine up until about a week or so ago (Maybe longer.), and they still don't work on FF23.

Well, it looks like Firefox's HTML5 player is the reason (or part of it). If I set media.windows-media-foundation.enabled to false then they will play. Well, at least the one at https://vine.co/v/hb2jilbYaYH will play.

I found this thread: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/961627

Apparently they changed the codec or something with their videos and the HTML5 player can't decode it or figure out what to do. However, if I access the video directly: https://v.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/02C3A427 ... 9XpNJGcd5g

Then it will play in Firefox using it's built-in player (with the above setting at "true"). Hmmm..

The justadventure site doesn't use Vine video... it's a video embedded using an iFrame, and from the looks of it, they've farmed out the embed code to either YouTube and/or Vimeo and one of those guys must have changed their code so it's no longer compatible. It's sloppy, fragile programming.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.
