My Browser Builds (Part 2)


Recommended Posts


Hi

I have a problem playing direct video on "https://www.france.tv/france-2/direct.html" with "Newmoon-28.9.3a1.win32-git-20200516", but previous versions also had the problem.
The internet TV site has geographic restrictions for users outside of France, but I'm not concerned.

I specify that all the browsers on my pc are by default, in "portable-loader.exe" mode of Roytam1 and without any add on.
the problem exists on Newmoon 28.9.3a1, Newmoon 27.9.7 and seamonkey 2.49.5, while the other browsers work (Mypal 28.9.3, Serpent 52.9.0 and 55, iceape-upx, Borealis, Centaury, arcticfox 27.9.19 )

 

The problem of video playback occurs on the videos of the television site "https://www.france.tv" or the internal player remains in black position with a central circle turning endlessly and refuses to launch the video of live or a replay video. I tried to modify the compatibility Firefox, Geko and native without result. I tried on "serpent 52.9" with ublock origin 1.16.4.20 and the Ematrix 4.3.0 plug-in with all the permissions activated, but that continued to block the video player. The solution was to deactivate the Ematrix plug-in at the "add-ons manager" level and the video playback started again without problem with ublock origin by default on "serpent 52.9".

Question: why the video player on "https://www.france.tv" works with Maypal and arcticfox and not on "Newmoon 28.9.3 and 27.9.7" ...?

can't test because it doesn't serve overseas.

Exactly the same problem as Newmoon 28.9 with Firefox browser portable 45.9.23 which does not work on the player of "france2.tv" and which displays very quickly the pause sign (like newmoon 28) when you click with the mouse on the video player.:wacko:

How do you expect someone from outside the said region to help you then?!

You could at least arrange a french proxy for Roytam1 to connect through, if he is willing to help you.

First you say that you don't use any add-ons, then you say that you deactivated content blocking add-ons to get the site working?!

Did you try with a really clean browser, without any setting modifications and add-ons?

Also, on the non-working browsers check the Tools > Web Developer > Web Console for any errors that don't show up on a working browser.

Yes you are right, here is the error console that appears on Newmoon 28 without add-ons with a new profile. There is an error on newmoon ... I tried on Mypal the error does not exist.

... About the france.tv issue:

Troubleshooting from outside of France:

1. Geo-block circumvention

As one would expect, this is a media portal site which streams copyrighted audio-visual content, intended for a specific country/region (in this case France); I haven't bothered checking one of their LIVE streams (which are usually the ones most heavily protected against "illegal" access), but chose a VOD URL:

https://www.france.tv/france-2/eurovision-europe-shine-a-light/1468469-emission-du-samedi-16-mai-2020.html

They first check geo-location via

https://player.webservices.francetelevisions.fr/v1/geoloc

where they note the requesting client's timezone, plus they then check actual physical location via

https://geoftv-a.akamaihd.net/ws/edgescape.json

These APIs can't be fooled with an "X-Forwarded-For" request header hack, so to pretend to be in France you'll have to use a whitelisted French HTTPS/SOCKS proxy or a French VPN...

One good source of "open/misconfigured" French proxies suitable for such tests is

http://spys.one/free-proxy-list/FR/

I picked one with small latency and good speed (http://195.154.41.246:5836) and configured New Moon 28 to use it for all connections...

2. Actual testing

I used the latest NM28 offering (package: palemoon-28.9.3a1.win32-git-20200516-a8f7300b9-uxp-9cf4eca9a-xpmod, buildID=20200515224638) with a new, pristine, profile.

I verified the issue reported by @IXOYE with the French proxy in use; thankfully, the screenshot of the NM28 Error Console (btw, the poster was asked to provide Web Console logs, which would've been more verbose, better for troubleshooting) mentions "polyfill.io/v2" and this started ringing some bells...

It turned out the "france.tv player" issue had been already previously reported in the upstream support forum: 

https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24269

and the cause is that sites still using the old polyfill.io/v2 library (the current is v3) break in Pale Moon (hence NM), because v2 doesn't detect NM's features well and chokes (more: https://forum.palemoon.org/search.php?keywords=polyfill) ...

The workaround is to use a SSUAO for "cdn.polyfill.io" advertising latest Mozilla Firefox:

general.useragent.override.cdn.polyfill.io;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:75.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/75.0

This fixes the issue for me, at least on NM28 and a VOD:

YDEoqea.jpg

However, be warned that the SSUAO suggested above, while it does fix the france.tv issue, it may break other websites which also use polyfill.io, especially if they have upgraded to its version 3...

FWIW, NM28 is being served by france.tv player MPEG-DASH unencrypted (no DRM) streams, which are also geo-fenced at the manifest/CDN level :(; one MPD manifest I managed to sniff is of the template:

https://cloudreplayfrancetv.akamaized.net/7400cc4850ce5/229118575_france-domtom_TA.ism/manifest.mpd?hdnea=exp=1589845397~acl=%2f7400cc4850ce5%2f229118575_france-domtom_TA.ism*~hmac=79fe0976ca3c2982afbf17e1ba2e4d06255857c968f01229a33f37cb5c712cd9

If/when france.tv move to full encryption/DRM, requiring current Widevine support in the browser, then it'd be game-over for XP/Vista users, because latest widevine DLLs require Win7 as a bare minimum... :realmad:

If I deal with this problem it is because it must exist elsewhere. Here two capture of the live of "France.tv" with the console of Mypal which functions, and with Newmoon 28 which does not function ... The two navigators are without add-on and new profile.

Mypal that works

Newmoon not working

Roytam1 -

1) The latest Iceape file has a new date (iceape.win32-20200523 ) on the installer , although in the the Help / about  of the browser it still displays a date of May,16.

2) The New build of BOC/UXP for XP uploaded (bnavigator.win32-20200516-8150adea-uxp-9cf4eca9a-xpmod.7z ) is the same file from May,16.

Please check.

While Roytam is off doing other things... to get the correct files all you have to do is navigate to...

https://o.rths.ml/boc-uxp/

In the case of IceApe, it looks like the changes were just to code libraries.
