Problem playing jw player embedded video

Unread post by mozart78 » 2015-03-26, 19:02

Hello, I have a problem playing some video on a site that uses jw player with Atom version of PM on XP. I can't play any video on this specific site at all. The site is in bulgarian so I'm posting a direct link to a random video:

http://gospodari.com/%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%B9 ... 59489.html

If you have adobe flash enabled the video window is missing when you try to play it. If you have flash player disabled, the file download dialog appears, when you try to play the video.

On Windows XP it runs only with Chrome... On Windows 7 and 8 there isn't problems. On Linux I also have problems but Trava find the culprit:

media.gstreamer.enabled set to true solves the problem. In Atom version there isn't such boolean so I created it but with no success.

I think that may be very difficult problem to solve but I'll be happy to help me. Thank you :)

You likely can't play these videos on XP because you don't have the video playback capabilities in XP for them (Pale Moon uses the Windows Media Foundation which is not available for XP). WMF is used because of H.264 licensing issues.
