ELTxolo,
You are showing the preview page video which I said was no sweat. Video and Audio OK. That is OUTSIDE the course material. Once I have logged into the course to continue at say Lecture 6 in Ethical Hacking the problems start. Everybody can see the preview and in different browsers. I can also see course material for Lecture 6 in Ethical Hacking in Firefox. You cannot see the course matrial unless you are paid up for that course. So, on my computer, the problem lies with Seamonkey exclusively.
This is what I had in media.
Code: Select all
[root@localhost /]# urpmq --list-media active

Did this;
Configure media sources for install and update'.
Clicked Add, went on the Internet, downloaded various .hdlist.cx packages;

Then checked the codecs again. I did this before I started this post.
Code: Select all
What does this browser support?
Yes HTMLVideoElement Yes H.264 Yes WebM VP8
Yes Media Source Extensions Yes MSE & H.264 Yes MSE & WebM VP9
Yes The HTML5 player is currently used when possible.
Then I right clicked on the link at the bottom to open in a new tab. After that I copied the link location and pasted it. In both cases this is the repsonse I received.
Code: Select all
Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document you requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.
This is the kind of issue I suspected from the beginning. This is a REPEAT of the issue I had in 2.49.3. Then I got the error that the browser does not support the video codecs. Nothing would load at all. I still used SM for all other Internet videos. Later I found that Seamonkey loaded and played course material correctly. I never skip any Mageia updates. Period. In 2.49.3 I did not even pay attention to Tainted Media, but SM worked only later for Udemy. The only option for that (against the SM release policy) is that SM got updated and or set to rights incidentally by fluke.
Now I can see the video and course controls, but when the lecture has to load and play it stops.
Thank you kindly anyway. I will talk to Udemy´s support people, but like last time, I do not think they will e able to help me.
Footnote.
I am familiar with Mageia´s Control Centre and install procedures as well as with the basics in the command line, thank you. That is Linux. Apologies for possibly creating a false impression. What I meant was that I am not familiar with where to look or what and how to make amendments to a program like Seamonkey. That is app specific and where I need help.
Ciao.
