In the past 3 or 4 weeks, Fox News videos will no longer play in SM
2.40, W10.
Example: http://video.foxnews.com/v/5224817054001/?#sp=show-clips
I just get a black screen showing the video controls. When I press the
play button, it still doesn't do anything.
I may have changed something to cause this behavior, but not sure what.
I have ad block plus, and no scripts, but when I open a profile without
these, I still get the same results.
They play OK, when using The Edge.
Also, what video player is used for these videos?
TIA
Jim in Colorado Springs --
I was able to play the video with the following SeaMonkey settings:
* View All Images -- normally I have View Images Only From Requested Domain
* Enable Popups -- normally disabled
* Enable Flash -- normally disabled
* Disable AdBlock Plus -- normally enabled
* Disable Secret Agent -- normally enabled
* Set user agent to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0)
Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.40, NOT Firefox/49.0 -- normally does not
include ", NOT Firefox/49.0"
* Enable HTML5 Media -- normally disabled
I do not know if all those changes were necessary. I was able to do all
of them very quickly via PrefBar (including some PrefBar "buttons" that
I created myself).
I think you may be on to something.
I do not know what PrefBar means though. I looked in about:config, just
for the HTML5 Media setting, and couldn't find one.
And not being real knowledgeable about about:config, I wouldn't want to
void the warranty :-)
