Thanks for the report, I was indeed able to reproduce the issue. The video is not playing on Fenix

Tested with: Browser / Version: Firefox Nightly Mobile 68.0a1 (2019-05-12), Chrome Mobile 74.0.3729.136, Firefox Fenix 1.0.1919 Operating System: Huawei P10 (Android 8.0) - 1080 x 1920 pixels (~432 ppi pixel density)

The issue is also reproducible on Firefox Nightly.

This is the web page displayed in Firefox Fenix:

And this is the web page displayed in Chrome:

type attribute is empty on the source elements.

If the type attribute isn't specified, the media's type is retrieved from the server and checked to see if the user agent can handle it; if it can't be rendered, the next is checked. If the type attribute is specified, it's compared against the types the user agent can present, and if it's not recognized, the server doesn't even get queried; instead, the next element is checked at once. — https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/source

if I take the first video link.

And this is working on both desktop and mobile.

So maybe this is blocked before by something else.

When I type on the video I get a message in the console.

13:54:49.948 bytedance://enable_swipe vendors.rZn67bvH.js:115:405

This is coming from the player script. http://s1.pstatp.com/growth/video_mobile_detail/js/xigua_video.cgO0vS2S.js

So I guess Firefox doesn't try to check if the video file is working.

Specified “type” attribute of “” is not supported. Load of media resource http://v3-default.ixigua.com/a534add19df3f4a7e4cc31459e32e5e…Ni0uMzEwLjI2LTojbyM6YS1vIzpgLXAjOmB2aVxiZitgXmJmK15xbDojLi5e failed.

@jyavenard is this supposed to work in Firefox Android?

ah probably finally found.

Firefox left, Chrome right

an empty type='' in source breaks the video element.
