The play button on HTML5 video doesn't work, however the play option in the context menu does

I have embedded a video using HTML5 using the mp4, webm, and ogg formats.
In Firefox the video poster displays as do the native controls. When the video is clicked on (either on the poster or the play button on the controls) the poster disappears to be replaced with the first frame of the video. However the video then fails to play.
If i right click over the video and select play it plays fine, similarly if i then click the pause button it pauses, the play button still does not work though.
The video plays in all other browsers that i have tested in without an issue.

Hi Obverse,
Thank you for contacting support. To better understand how the video is embedded, could you please post a link to the video or an example of where the HTML play button does not play a video?

  • What do I do if my camera and the lock button on my phone doesn't work?

    I cracked my phone and my dad tried to fix it but instead he broke my camera and tried to fix it but instead he also borke my lock button.

    Viber bottom doesn't work and also volume bottoms + and - doesn't work.
    You have hardware issues (buttons don't work) that can't be solved on a forum.  If still under warranty, return to Apple.  If not, search for iPhone repair in your area.

  • When trying to read emails on hotmail on firefox, the "back" button on my mouse doesn't work right. It works fine if I use internet explorer. This started about three days ago.

    Also doesn't work right when I try to click on the inbox. I sometimes just get a blank screen. Seems to work fine on every other site except Hotmail.

    Nothing changed after clearing cashe and cookies and restarting in safe mode.

  • Why doesn't Webm and HTML5 Video doesn't work on youtube with Firefox 4.0b8pre?

    I go to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and enable html5. I do not get any video tags or content of the sort.
    If I do a search: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gods+gonna+cut+you+down&aq=0&webm=1
    None of those videos will appear with the video tag. It will all be adobe flash even though I don't have flash installed. Youtube used to work great with firefox4.0.

    The problem is with your user agent. it is:
    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101111 Firefox-4.0/4.0b8pre
    While it should be:
    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101111 Firefox / 4.0b8pre
    I have the same problem, and while I do not know its cause, I have found a workaround- install user-agent-switcher.....
    Have you installed firefox-4 with the "daily" ppa too?

  • I cannot activate the play button on a video in firefox using the keyboard

    I am blind and use a screen-reader called JAWS For Windows to navigate the internet. Because I am blind I cannot use a mouse and rely on the keyboard to navigate and interact with web pages. I tend to play a lot of video for business reasons. I can, using internet explorer, navigate to and press the play button in websites such as Youtube. However this is not possible using firefox. I sometimes have occasion to use video download helper and in order to download I have to play the video first and unless there is someone around who can click the play button with a mouse I cannot do this. Any ideas? I have tried on two different computers, 1 is a netbook running IE8 with Windows 7 starter edition and the other is a desktop running Windows XP Home SP3. I would much prefer to be using firefox on a permanent basis as it also gives me access to a plugin which deals with Captcha Images.

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
    *"View > Toolbars"
    Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
    *View > Toolbars > Customize
    *Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
    *Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

  • Button on video doesn't work on iPad

    Hey there I have a button on top of a video but it doesn't work on an iPad which has the video controls enabled on it.
    It works on desktops though.
    Is there something I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I also experienced the same problem. It's a typical IOS behaviour.
    I quote:
    "The problem is that the HTML5 video element on iOS seems to hijack the click events in the areas (of the elements layered on top) that are contained in the bounding box of the video element. If the bounding box is made smaller with scale(0.01) or the bounding box is pushed off the screen with translateX(-2560px), no element areas are directly above the video element and the click events will get fired."
    See here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8325311/controls-overlay-for-video-on-iphone-ipad
    Or here http://www.frontendfan.com/overlay-on-top-of-html5-video-tag/
    Good luck!
    Kind regards,
    Lester.

  • What should I do if the iphoto keeps on saying that "Plz wait for import to complete" when i click the close button but it is not importing photos? How can I close the iPhoto? I try to switch my mac off but it doesn't work. Thanks.

    You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
    and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.
    OS X - Support
    Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
    turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
    the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
    use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
    run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

    Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared.  That doesn't work anymore.  How do you turn off the apps with ios7

    Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past.  With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app
