Hi

The only social media I use is Twitter. In the past I've used Choqok as a desktop client but it doesn't play video links you have to click a link to open in a browser. In itself that's not really an issue but it's not always obvious there is a video it could just be a photo and you can see those in Choqok so there's no need to click a link. The result is you either waste time clicking liks tha reveal nothing new, or miss a video.

Cawbird does, or rather did, play videos in a popout window but following a distro change/upgrade now doesn't as a rule. I'll post examples of links that do play and don't play in Cawbird and an error message for the latter. It seems to be a GST api problem but I'm not smart enough to fix it, can anyone help?

This is an actual post on the Twitter website with a video that _does_ play in Firefox

Error message if I try to play in Cawbird:

gstvideodecoder.c(1138): gst_video_decoder_sink_event_default (): /GstPlayBin:video/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin2/GstDecodeBin:decodebin2/avdec_mpeg4:avdec_mpeg4-3: no valid frames found

Address if I chose 'open in browser' from Cawbird - which also doesn't work

This one DOES play in Cawbird and this is the address if I chose 'open in browser' and that works too

Those last two addresses are very similar in format except one is actually a link to an mp4 and the other to a container. Is that relevant?
