Akami prevents html5 videos from playing #2656

Closed jcosentino closed 9 years ago

Disabling Akami allows the video to load.

Video works for me with Akamai rule enabled as long as I'm using Chrome. However, it fails on Firefox.

This seems to be a rather easy one to fix. Firefox complains about CORS failing for bitdash-a.akamaihd.net. However https://www.dash-player.com/ seems to work rather fine.

@numismatika , I believe I'm missing something. Can you suggest how to fix that?

numismatika commented 9 years ago

Try creating a new custom rule file with the following content

<ruleset name="bitmovin GmbH">

    <target host="www.dash-player.com"/>

    <rule from="^http:"
        to="https:" />

</ruleset>

Oh... I got it. I didn't notice the extra "s" in the link you included in your comment.
