Pale Moon forum

Hi there.
I've been experiencing video playback issues on websites since more than 1 year ago.

First I noticed some videos with aac embedded audio would not play on somewebsites but usually I could work around selecting other video resolution (probably packing different audio).

More recently I restarted doing CME courses on Medscape and noticed video simply doesn't play...
Even with disabled adblocking, with MSE on/off.
Currently using portable Chrome for this.

I don't know what's wrong.
I've been using Shark007 codec pack for many years but stopped updating when I noticed some updates broke video playback on Palemoon (no idea why though).

Link please.

can't play any video (at least CME) on Medscape

this one should be as good as any:
https://www.medscape.org/viewarticle/914187_2

You must log-in to see CME activities and I don't recall if registration is excluxive for health practitioners (tough I guess web browser developers would be given access)

It would help us help you if you can provide a link to a problem video page that is not behind a log-in.

If you aren't able to do that, some forum member may happen to have a Medscape account, but this will be a matter of luck.

For some reason, opening the link from a google search (& assuming this is in fact one of the videos) allows the video to open & play (including in PM).

That one I can also play with no problem (I press play and it starts immediately with no issues).

I just found now (as I write) that if I wait long enough the problem videos will eventually start playing (took around 1 minute...)
Screen will be black int the beginning (audio only) but if I scroll it will then start showing the correct image.
was PM downloading the whole video before starting playback ?

The details from the video I linked are:


PM 28.7.1 x64
Win 7 x64 Home Premium (updated but very old setup)
Shark007 Codec Pack 7.3.4 (in case this is relevant for video playback on PM)

PS: Flashgot is still awesome (and I have yet to find a suitable replacement... I fear the day it breaks)
