Thanks for the report, I was able to reproduce the issue. Audio stream remains in loading state.

Note: Not reproducible on Firefox Nightly.

Tested with: Browser / Version: Firefox Focus 9.0 (Build #332401210 🦎 65.0.20190125143011) Operating System: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Android 8.0.0) - Resolution 1440 x 2560 pixels (~534 ppi pixel density)

Moving to Needsdiagnosis for further investigation.

While this is working on RDM. This is failing on the device itself on Firefox Fenix 71.0a1

        {
          key: 'onError',
          value: function () {
            i.default.emit(u.FLASH, {
              type: 'alert',
              message: 'There was an error playing ‘' + this.getTitle() + '’.'
            }),
            i.default.emit(c.playerEvents.SET, {
              status: 'stopped',
              target: {
              }
            })
          }
        },

I have a hunch this is a racing issue.

Let's move to needscontact.

Not working in Fenix nightly for me, but working in Fennec. The console shows:

Invalid URI. Load of media resource  failed.

This is the request: https://playback.rrr.org.au/od-p1v1/_definst_/mp4:201909/201909071800_7560_128.mp4/playlist.m3u8

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=124304,CODECS="mp4a.40.2"
chunklist_w1949474131.m3u8

This leads to a file like:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:10
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:10.0,
media_w1263697829_0.aac
#EXTINF:10.0,
media_w1263697829_1.aac
#EXTINF:10.0,

And if I try to play the .acc files directly in Fenix, it works fine. So it seems likely that there is something screwing up in the scripts, and trying to download a link that's either stalling, or not the file it should be playing (given the "load of media failed" message above).

Sure enough, Fennec has a <source> element in the document, while Fenix does not:

<source src="https://ondemand.rrr.org.au/getclip?bw=h&amp;l=0&amp;m=r&amp;p=1&amp;s=20190907180000">

And if I make a very reduced test-case, it works in Fennec, but not Fenix:

<audio controls="true">
  <source src="https://ondemand.rrr.org.au/getclip?bw=h&l=0&m=r&p=1&s=20190907180000"/>
</audio>

So this must be a Fenix/GeckoView error. I've filed bz1591251 to figure this out.
