From: H.S. on 31 Jul 2010 11:20 Hello. Anyone else having trouble playing videos on CCN website? I don't frequent it and am not sure if this happens with all the vidoes there. On Debian Testing amd64, in iceape with flashplayer, flashblock, noscript and adblock installed, I am not able to play the video linked on this news article: http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/07/30/afghanistan.wikileaks/index.html?hpt=T2 I have allowed cnn.com and turner.com in my noscripts controls, but the video page does not appear to load at all. All other vidoes appear to work. BBC and youtube works, for example. Meahwhile, I am searching if I can find that same interview with Assange somewhere else, but no luck yet.

Does it play if you disable Iceape add-ons (flashblock, noscript and adblock)?

I did that, too, and then I clicked on the flashblock placeholder icon for the video; it loaded and played normally. Note that I have my user agent string set to "Firefox/3.6.7"; I have found that some websites send you IE-specific, broken HTML if the user agent is, for example, "Iceweasel" instead of "Firefox". (I did not test if this is the case for CNN, though.) > All other vidoes appear to work.

Executive summary: Assange cordially invites the 22nd United States Secretary of Defense to kiss him where the sun does not shine. -- Regards, | Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yes, that is due to flashblock, I have to click that too to let flashplayer do its job. Didn't work on cnn for me. > Note that I have my user agent string set to "Firefox/3.6.7"; I have > found that some websites send you IE-specific, broken HTML if the user > agent is, for example, "Iceweasel" instead of "Firefox". (I did not test > if this is the case for CNN, though.) Well, that might be the problem then, since I created a brand new test profile, disable the extensions and tried the video without any luck. So I doubt it is the extensions' problem. Probably is the identification string issue. I will check as soon as I can. > > Executive summary: Assange cordially invites the 22nd United States > Secretary of Defense to kiss him where the sun does not shine. Ah! Right.
