BBC news stopped again #99

Closed JohnBlackburne closed 9 years ago

Not all but it seems to be most new ones, not just the ones you'd expect such as sports ones with rights restrictions. E.g.

Those all now work, though there's a new one that doesn't:

It seems to be very new ones; that was updated under an hour ago. It's slow news time now so if it is based on time then I may not see more until the morning. I don't know if they've started to apply DRM for an hour or two, due to rights concerns as it's fresh from live TV.

Now all seems ok. Sorry for the false alarm, it started a couple of days ago so had been going on for at least a day when I first reported but whatever it was I can't find any examples now.

Stopped working again? Using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hoyois/plugin-to-html5/master/BBC.js in the PLugin to HTML5 conversion scripts, updated on July 29, 2015.

hoyois commented 9 years ago

Still works for me...

alfureu commented 9 years ago

I can see only the "Download Flash plugin" message. Can you give me a link that works for you? Just as an example...

hoyois commented 9 years ago

Ah that explains it: there's no Flash on BBC unless you have Flash installed.

alfureu commented 9 years ago

Am I missing something here? Isn't the purpose of Flash2Html5 conversion script to request html5 instead of flash? To my knowledge, iPads are able to play BBC videos in HTML5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BHUzP13YXY

That's not what they do, no. Their purpose is to replace plugins by HTML5 videos. ClickToPlugin doesn't do anything on web pages that have no plugins.
