Videos not working Topic is solved

[Goper]

I notice when I go to "some" sites that stream live videos like http://6abc.com/live/ it will not play. I had the same problem even with the portable version.
Windows 10
Pale Moon Version: 27.8.1 (64-bit)

Welcome

This doesn't look like a Pale Moon bug (posted in the wrong forum area), try following the steps in this Topic: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=17704

I clicked on the 6abc link and the live video started playing for me without any problems.

On this hard drive, I'm using 32 bit windows Pale Moon 27.8.1 running in 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate, SP1.

e.g. it works:
general.useragent.override.dobramine.com

Code: Select all

I have the same problem with slot machines, only on another site.

Can't play video since update

I just updated PM and now its not playing videos on youtube. It freezes and the circle comes up as if it is loading.
I had been having trouble with the old version of losing functionality on video watching and search pages.
I tried to re-install and use it again but this error is still there...

I clicked on your Sizzling link and the Sizzling game played for me.

Then I clicked on your second link and the the games of Fruit Zen, Enchanted played for me. The Disco Spin game didn't play because on this game I got a "Game Not Available" prompt. On the Chase the Cheese game, the prompt I received was "network error".

I'm using 64 bit linux Pale Moon 28.0.1 running in 64 bit linux Mint 19 (Tara) Xfce distro. The only two addons I have enabled are NoSquint and Adblock Latitude. And the graphics driver I'm using is an open source linux graphics driver, Nouveau. I've also got 16 GB of memory on this 2010 year model desktop tower computer. And the user agent for this site is the default one which comes with Pale Moon 28.1.0 so the site sees my user agent as:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.9) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/4.1 Firefox/52.9 PaleMoon/28.1.0

Now if you want some help, start listing what your computer is running like I just did above because "my crystal ball is on the fritz this morning so it can't tell me anything about your system" if you get my drift.

I can play YouTube videos whether I'm using 64 bit linux Pale Moon 28.1.0 running in 64 bit linux Mint 19 (Tara) Xfce distro or using 32 bit windows Pale Moon 28.0.1 running in 64 bit Windows 7 (Home Premium SP1 or Ultimate SP1).

On the Windows 7 hard drive, it is using an old Nvidia GeForce 220 graphics card with the 340 graphics driver which is the last graphics driver which will install and work in this machine. This machine has 16 GB of memory. The only two addons I use are NoSquint and Adblock Latitude.

On the Linux Mint hard drive, it is using the open source linux Nouveau graphics driver. With 16 GB of memory and also, the same NoSquint and Adblock Latitude addons.

But I don't use the default user agent for YouTube which comes with Pale Moon (28.1.0). I'm guessing you're using the default user agent for YouTube. Since YouTube went to a new interface which has a dark theme available, I had to change my user agent for YouTube to get access to the dark theme so when I'm using windows Pale Moon, YouTube sees my user agent as:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0 (Pale Moon)

And when I'm running linux Pale Moon, YouTube sees my user agent as:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0 (Pale Moon)

Now a word of caution. Since I do not use the default user agent for Pale Moon, with my user agents for both windows and linux Pale Moon, the user agents I use above "may" cause problems, but not for me so this is why I use these user agents for YouTube.

If you do not know what your default user agent is, just click on the link below and it will tell you what your browser user agent is.

Now, have you tried running your version of Pale Moon in Safe Mode and/or made a completely "clean" new profile with no addons or customizations added? Do you know what graphics driver you're using?

I have this issue (loading, playing 1 single frame, then stalling and showing "If playback doesn’t begin shortly try restarting your device" after a while) since I updated Flash this week, the same issue in Pale Moon and Basilisk and Firefox. And in Vivaldi (Chromium, PPAPI) it played once without audio, then not anymore.

So I would blame Adobe Flash.

P.S.: Videos work again.

I watched a video with some added retro effects, but they also contained a lot of decoding errors (typical green fills and block artifacts, and frame drops), so I wondered whether this was an artifical graphical effect or real network issues.

A while later, the retro effects are still there, but no more green flashes.

So, instead of Flash, I now have to be concerned about the YouTube/Google video server...
