This seems to be a CORS header problem with the website.

[Error] Origin http://www.rtve.es is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
[Error] Failed to load resource: Origin http://www.rtve.es is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. (tdphd_lv3_aosv4_gl1.f4m, line 0)

I see similar on Firefox (and no playback either)

Sorry, comment above was because I'm in the wrong country.

We appear to be missing a GStreamer plugin here. I will investigate.

[Charlie Turner]

Uh, we shouldn't be trying to play Adobe HDS streams, don't support it in GStreamer https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728497. The site advertises an HLS fallback that we should try. Looking into why this is happening.

[Charlie Turner]

We're not. It's a tad hard to progress this at the moment. I'll be in Spain next week and will have a look then if no one else beats me to it.

Sergio, when the play button reappears, I assume you can click it and the video starts playing?

I suspect the play button reappearing is a symptom of https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141469. I'm in Spain now, but have a very good network connection, and the video here plays just find, without any stalled event causing the video to stop.

Not sure I'd need to check it out

Right. I've just tried using a very good network connection and the video is played seamslessly.

Here an HLS stream is loaded and is playing fine. Shall we close this bug? Can you still reproduce it?

[Philippe Normand]

Please re-open if you manage to reproduce this issue again!
