Can't play ABC iView in Firefox on Mageia #4.1

more options

This was raised back on 14/01/14 and the person eventually said it had fixed itself by May 2014. I have never been able to watch ABC iView on Firefox on my Mageia #4.1 (Linux) system. I have only been trying to watch iView this year. It works fine in Google.

I get the similar error msg to the original poster (Also see my attached screen dump image):


"Ooops.. The video you are trying to watch is unavailable: http://iviewmetered-vh.akamaihd.net/z/playback/_definst_/class/PG.mp4/manifest.f4m?hdcore=true&hdnea=st=1400326544~exp=1400336543~acl=/*~hmac=bb6e062439bea1ea51245e574dcdd36b978181747d6bed9cc2c7c59b7f8ebfc9"


I restarted FF in Safe Mode but ABC iView still didn't work!

Well I eventually found where you you were meaning, but there is no "Settings" but there is "Preferences". Anyway, cleared all iView.ABC.net.au cookies, entered iView site, tried to watch an episode of a program - same result!
