Adding blocking+ per triage - facebook needs to be solid, as it's a partner app.

It appears that this issue has been occurring since the first 1.2 build from 6/21. From 6/21 to 7/01, the video would be cut off in both landscape and portrait. From 7/02 and on, the issue described in comment 0 occurs; the video is only cut off in landscape.
- Broken (as described in comment 0) -

Jason is correct: as of this week, we serve video files to Firefox clients in a bare browser window.

Because 1.2 is going to be finished, should we mark this bug from koi+ to 1.3+? Thanks.

Well, apparently the dupe shows this reproducing on 1.1 HD, which makes this really, really bad. We need to block on this & get this fixed asap.
Wayne - Can you triage & bump the priority here? This is a blocker for a partner app.

This happens on the launched Leo v1.1 software as well, could it be something to do with what's mentioned in comment 8?

Wait, really? The testing in comment 0 originally indicated this didn't reproduce on 1.1. Can someone double check this? Does this reproduce on 1.1?

Confirmed the symptom on my device. It seems that a pop up window's height is not updated correctly. I am going to investigate more.

Sounds like that confirms the problem is caused by a facebook app change. We should fix this via outreach.
If we want to look into the gecko bug separately here, then let's open a new bug to investigate the gecko bug here.

Bug reproduced on Peak v1.3
Do we have any updates?
Comment 19•11 years ago

As I said before, we changed the behavior of our site to let the browser/os display videos in a bare browser window. There is no Facebook JS, CSS or HTML in that window. Just a video file.
The problem is with the way the browser handles video files.

Then you need to revert the change. This is breaking Facebook on all shipping devices right now.

Just to recap: Currently there is no FB UI involved in the playback. On 1.0 to 1.3 this cuts off the video, which seems to be a bug in the OS. Before the recent update, FB provided a wrapper to play back the video. Is that correct?
jsmith: is there a bug logged on why videos are played back cut off if this is present in 1.3?
colby: As we can't fix the issue on shipping devices, would it be possible to get back the old behavior for FxOS?

@Harald yes and no.
We do have an inline player that supports some browsers. Before January as the result of a bug, some Firefox mobile users (FxOS & Android) received (broken) inline videos when viewing a user's timeline. We received a couple bugzilla reports about the problem which prompted some refactoring to sure up our browser checks on inline videos.
I can't really revert because theres nothing working to revert to :(
I'm looking into supporting Firefox with the inline player. The problem I've had there is that the similator's video player seems to be different from the one that runs on device, and we can't get FxOS devices on our internal network so for the most part I'm flying blind.
Is Firefox for Android's video handling roughly equivalent to FxOS? That would make testing a whole lot easier.

If you already have FxOS detection code in there you could trigger Web Activities for viewing videos which will open the native Video player app.
I don't think this happens on Firefox for Android, but can't tell as I couldn't find videos in my feed. Youtube works fine.

Don't think so - can you file a separate bug for this?

Videos were scaled correctly on Nexus 4 with 1.5.
Video playback in general is not great as videos open in chromeless mode without much UI. I wonder if thats more of a platform bug and how the OS handles opening a video.
