can you share a couple of URL’s with page with vids so I can have a peek Andy?
Hi again,
I should have left a follow-up to my posting. Indeed, it works 1 in 10 times when you refresh.
When I reported that a refresh fixed the problem, that was in fact merely a case of it that refresh being one of the lucky 1 out of 10 times. This remains an ongoing issue for me. 9 out of 10 times, it’s just the gray box, in Firefox.
based on the 2 URL’s provided this looks like a conflict with Cloudflare Rocketloader Andy (don’t remember if you have CF RL mahlerthetitan), can you try disabling rocketloader to confirm?
You absolute star – yes, that sorted it! Thank you! 🙂
OK, does CF have a field where you can exclude things from being rocketloaded?
No, it’s either on or off. There is some API stuff, may be of interest…
https://api.cloudflare.com/#zone-settings-get-rocket-loader-setting
I’m happy to leave it off though – doesn’t make a huge difference for my sites anyway.
Cheers again!
Hi there – similar issue over here. A few users have reported grayed out videos on Firefox. (Although I noticed this issue on Chrome as well, just can’t reproduce it.)
One user said: Majority on Firefox Mobile, and intermittently on Desktop too. Here is a link: https://listverse.com/2021/04/04/top-ten-surprising-tv-deaths/
Can you take a look? Thanks!
so are you also using cloudflare rocketloader nlamaina ?
Yes, we are. However, we tested a page with cloudflare disabled, and that still did not solve it. Thoughts?
Not off the cuff no, but if you can share a URL where I could see this (not) happening I might get some ideas .. 🙂
The issue is happening in Firefox on all links (at least the many I checked – listed a few below). It does not happen on Safari, however. Maybe comparing Firefox vs. Safari would give some ideas?

https://listverse.com/2009/05/25/10-truly-great-jazz-performances/
and can you share the URL of the page where rocketloader is not active? 🙂
Yes. Page below has cloudflare disabled. (note: video embeds are used in list item 6 and 4. You’ll notice images at first, just scroll down and you’ll see them)

I still see rocketloader in the HTML source of that page nlamaina ;
