[Can't play twitter video]

So i've been playing with this a little.

This is the code for the .m3u8 file, just more links to the media files at various resolutions. :

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=320000,RESOLUTION=240x240,CODECS="mp4a.40.2,avc1.42001f"
/ext_tw_video/738400980417417216/pu/pl/240x240/5VA_NQSrpN7qLYKq.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=832000,RESOLUTION=480x480,CODECS="mp4a.40.2,avc1.42001f"
/ext_tw_video/738400980417417216/pu/pl/480x480/6gbGuTG8o3T-_8M2.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=1280000,RESOLUTION=720x720,CODECS="mp4a.40.2,avc1.4d001e"
/ext_tw_video/738400980417417216/pu/pl/720x720/tz-c9IwqRlmD4_QE.m3u8

And here's what i've found out.

If you add https://video.twimg.com to the start of each URL then the video's will stream in any media player.

So, that means somehow Maxthon isn't transferring or is blocking the top-level domain from whereever it needs to be to make it work. The m3u lists are designed so they can use relative URL's, so this shouldn't be an issue unless MX is doing something weird or wrong. Not sure if that's an (old) blink issue or something else.

Either way doesn't look to be a user fixable issue. unless  @No.1MaxthonFan can prove me wrong and that same video works for him.

 

Happy it works for some of you guys but for many others it doesn't!. I have this issue on four machines. One under W7 and three under W10. No idea what is causing the problem but everything works fine when using Firefox. See the other post: http://forum.maxthon.com/index.php?/bug-tracker/general-support/videos-r67/#comment-237

Thanks for helping us confirm this problem.  We will fix it ASAP. sorry for this inconvenience. and so thanks your feedback.

Many of us have the same problem and reported on the Forum. Apparently there is no solution available at the moment. The only way I found to get it working is to use another navigator. Firefox works perfectly.

it's probably not a setting, it does not work on portable version either. 

 

I confirm and tend to believe it's Application related. It works perfectly with other navigators such as Firefox!

Hi - I have the same problem since a while and getting more and more site with embedded videos or link to GIF (e.g. as mentioned in other posts, connected to Twitter) not working. As well often, the same message, my browser doesn't support playing video, etc... What makes me frustrated is that, everything works like a charm when using Firefox!

Here is a link to a page showing one of the problems ( Ce navigateur ne prend pas en charge la lecture vidéo)
