Has anyone else noticed that the videos on the Toronto Star site no longer work with Linux? I've tried Firefox, Seamonkey and Chromium browsers. The videos do work in Windows.
Running Arch Linux + Firefox 37.0.2 to watch video at this link:
https://www.thestar.com/life/sourced/2015/04/08/carls-jrs-queen-west-locatio...
I needed to temporarily disable the HTTPS-Everywhere plugin... after restarting and using 'http' links the videos played OK.
Chrome 42.0.2311.90 with no plugins played the videos OK.
It was HTTPS Everyware that caused the problem. I disabled thestar.com in it, so I'm past that problem. That only leaves the videos that won't play for other reasons. ;-)
Now that problem is out of the way, another has turned up. With many videos, I am getting an error message: "The video you are trying to watch is currently unavailable. Please try again later. Error Code:VE_PD_NOTFOUND"
When I search on that error code, it appears it's related to Flash, which is no longer being updated for Linux. It also seems to happen on recent videos, not older ones. Any ideas, other than viewing those videos in Windows?
Here is a link to one video that fails: http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2015/04/23/killer-sent-photos-of-dead-wom...
BTW, this is in Firefox on openSUSE 13.1. --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
