Re: unsupported video on amazon
Apologies, I should have thought of that.

Re: unsupported video on amazon
This appears to be an Amazon problem. Amazon puts up the message in the HTML like this: div tabindex=0 class=airy-video-unsupported-promptSorry, this video is unsupported on this browser./div If I use Safari and use some developer tools to make it lie and say it is some other browser, the video plays just fine. So Safari is perfectly capable of playing the video and it it is Amazon which is blocking Safari through their code, accidentally or otherwise. If you want to pretend to be another browser to make this work you need to enable the Developer menu in Preferences then Advanced. At the very end is a checkbox that says Show Develop menu in menu bar. With that turned on you can go to that menu in the toolbar in Safari, choose User Agent and then pick one of the non-Safari browser. You'll still be running Safari but you'll be telling Amazon you're on Firefox or whatever. Then Amazon will no longer hate your browser and let the video play. Forums are full of complaints about this going back to at least July so it doesn't sound like Amazon cares. This happens on iOS as well.

Re: unsupported video on amazon
Ok, super, thanks. I never even thought to use the develop menu. I use it all the time to force websites to use their mobile version by choosing the Safari IoS iPhone under the develop menu.
