mp4 wont play on 101.1.1 but does on 100.3.0 why? I have always been able to see my video play on android until recently. I suspect an upgrade has caused the issue. I have a tablet running an older version 100.3.0 and the video runs fine there as it always did on my phone. You get the "no video with supported format..." error message on the newer 101.1.1 version. Its annoying as the the video is an important part of my website.

Thanks for any help,

Rob

Hi I worked out the issue from an old thread. The mp4 uses the iframe tag With iFrame I read that videos referenced from outside the website are considered suspect and blocked. I changed to the Video tag and it is working again.. for the moment!

thanks for your help.

Rob

I have just tried that site in both versions 103 (a pre-Release build for testing) and 101 and it played just fine.

Do you have any add-ons installed in Firefox for Android?

What level of enhanced tracking protection do you have set?

No add-ons and enhanced tracking turned off.

Still not playing.

NB I am now also having the same issue with my Windows 11 PC not playing the MP4. This started about 4-5 days back. It had always worked there. There is no connection between my android and my PC. It is also now occurring on my work PC's.

Thanks,

Rob
