Vidible.tv videos at huffingtonpost.com play but appear all black (audio and still images okay) in Epiphany, Surf-2, MiniBrowser. No problem in Firefox.

Can you point to a certain URL or URLs we can test instead of searching the paper ourselves?
Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2018-05-07 18:17:07 PDT 
Works in Epiphany Technology Preview.

I tried with WPE with its custom JHBuild and minibrowser and I don't get a blank screen but video playback seems accelerated so it is wrong too.

If it helps, behavior of Epiphany has now changed.
