no mp3-sound on some websites

Unread post by Bito_MUC » 2018-03-18, 11:18

Hi Palemoon-Specialists,

my Pale Moon browser (v. 27.8.1, 32 Bit, running on Win 7 pro., 64 Bit) has a problem with playing the "embedded" MP3 files on this web site:
https://escience-center.uni-tuebingen.d ... .675/8.984 (you also can call that website via http://www.sprachalltag.de)

When I click one of the several "play sound"-symbols on the map presented there, PM does not react but remains totally silent (no sound at all). This is also the case when PM is running in safe mode without extensions.

On the other hand, I can hear the sound when I call the "embedded" mp3 directly (by copying the according URL into the address bar). In my opinion this shows that my Palemoon does not have a problem with playing MP3s in general but only when calling the file from the website.

In contrary,, when I call the website mentioned above with Firefox 52.7.2 ESR instead of Pale Moon, there is no problem and the mp3s are played when I click the according symbols.

Until now, on other websites, my Palemoon could run all media (audio and video) without any problem.

Does someone have an idea which screw I can turn to make my Pale Moon behave like Firefox 52.7.2 ESR on this website, so that I can hear the sound?

Thank you in advance from Germany

Website is using "\" (wrong delimeter) in place of "/" in the mp3 file url. This character gets encoded to "%5C" and the server returns a 404 response for the resulting url. Firefox is probaly forgiving about use of backslash instead of slash character.

thank you very much for your quick reply. I have informed the webmaster of the according website and hope he can fix the error soon.
(Or is it possible to make PM somehow more "tolerant" against such syntax errors?)

What I get from the first link and also clicking anything on the map is "Untrusted connection".

I get the same too, so that site should check their certificates too.
