Issues with autoplay and videos on the Cannabist. #163

Closed freejoe76 closed 9 years ago

freejoe76 commented 9 years ago

When I click on this link for The Cannabist Show from DPTV homepage, the page loads and video plays for about 1 second before it reloads again as a Photo Night post and then it switches to 420 Tours video -- the next posts that follow The Cannabist Show.

Here's the URL, and a note http://dptv.denverpost.com/2015/03/11/the-cannabist-show-march-11-2015/

So I was having the problem at home, tried it multiple times. But now when I have this link open in the office, the video is playing properly. Wonder why there's this difference.

freejoe76 commented 9 years ago

Another note: We've been able to replicate this problem. Can you please take a look? It happens on the cannabist article page after you hit play and the ad is over:

freejoe76 commented 9 years ago

I was able to replicate this issue for the first three videos I played on DPTV, and then it stopped doing that.

AletaLabak commented 9 years ago

Yeah, just tried the link you had in your note, Joe, and it's playing fine in the office. Also did a ctrl-shift-r to refresh, and it's still playing fine. Couldn't replicate the issue.

freejoe76 commented 9 years ago

Okay, I changed the timing of the check-if-we-should-play-the-next-video functionality, let's see if that fixes things.

freejoe76 commented 9 years ago

Looks like this is fixed.

AletaLabak commented 9 years ago

I'm not sure if this is happening because I'm trying to view from home, but when I play the new episode I'm experiencing same problem that happened with the very first episode. Is that happening for you as well? http://dptv.denverpost.com/2015/03/27/cannabist-show-andrew-freedman-ean-seeb-interviews-marijuana-news/

freejoe76 commented 9 years ago

I'm looking into this. I made some additional fixes yesterday to address this, but.... I didn't replicate the issue in Chrome, but I did see what you describe happen in the Firefox player. I've reopened this issue. It looks like this happened on the first load of the video, but not subsequent loads.

freejoe76 commented 9 years ago

Ok, I did some research and made another change to the video script. Let me know if you see it again.

AletaLabak commented 9 years ago

I'm in office now, but.... When I try using this URL in Chrome and Firefox: http://dptv.denverpost.com/2015/03/27/cannabist-show-andrew-freedman-ean-seeb-interviews-marijuana-news/

It's still not playing for me at all in Chrome, it's just flashing through the URLs in queue. When I tried Firefox, it plays the ad, then it loads next post in queue, plays ad, then loads next post in queue, plays ad. This is the video that eventually plays: http://dptv.denverpost.com/2015/01/10/my-420-tours-provides-marijuana-education-experience-in-denver/

Strangely, that My 420 Tours video was the video mine landed on too the time it cycled through them all.

freejoe76 commented 9 years ago

This may be an ooyala issue. I just opened this ticket with them based on some new info I found:

uncaught exception: Bad chunk: {"srcId":"cb7224e6-d4b2-11e4-b137-00259069bf72","srcKey":"11e4","srcStart":1427482511590,"replyTo":{"href":"http://dptv.denverpost.com/2015/03/13/the-cannabist-show-former-denver-broncos-te-nate-jackson-and-industry-insider-taylor-west/#dev","origin":"http://dptv.denverpost.com","protocol":"http:","username":"","password":"","host":"dptv.denverpost.com","hostname":"dptv.denverpost.com","port":"","pathname":"/2015/03/13/the-cannabist-show-former-denver-broncos-te-nate-jackson-and-industry-insider-taylor-west/","search":"","hash":"#dev"},"messageContent":{"self":{"position":[0],"pageId":"0","isMe":true,"isLeaf":false,"adProxies":[{"adId":"5689","adSafeId":"cb7224e6-d4b2-11e4-b137-00259069bf72"}],"unifiedId":1427482511590},"expectedPageId":"0-10","unifiedId":1427482511590,"sentTime":1427482511601},"srcIsEmbedded":false}

I got it when our video player was moving from one video to the next using our in-house custom auto-play-next-video functionality. It would go to the next video, play the ad, then log that message to the console, then skip to the next video after that. http://dptv.denverpost.com/2015/03/11/the-cannabist-show-march-11-2015/#dev

Some additional info: Things are working A-OK on Cannabist WP version. http://www.thecannabist.co/2015/03/27/cannabist-show-andrew-freedman-ean-seeb-interviews-marijuana-news/32258/

Here's the coding I used for it:

freejoe76 commented 9 years ago

Yea, it has something to do with the auto-play-next-video javascript I wrote, which doesn't exist on the Cannabist site.

freejoe76 commented 9 years ago

Okay, I found another clue and put in another fix. Let's see if this works.

AletaLabak commented 9 years ago

Good/bad news: It played for me in Chrome! But I'm still having same problems in Firefox. No ad played in Chrome, FYI.

freejoe76 commented 9 years ago

Yea, I'm still digging.

AletaLabak commented 9 years ago

OK, I was mistaken that it was fixed in Chrome, anyway. I start with this URL, http://dptv.denverpost.com/2015/03/27/cannabist-show-andrew-freedman-ean-seeb-interviews-marijuana-news/

But this is the one that is actually playing: http://dptv.denverpost.com/2015/03/13/the-cannabist-show-former-denver-broncos-te-nate-jackson-and-industry-insider-taylor-west/

Okay I put in another couple fixes, can you clear your cache and try it again?

AletaLabak commented 9 years ago

Success! On both Chrome and Firefox. Thanks so much for your help, Joe!
