Earlier quoted context omitted.

A WebSockets / realtime / push/pull exercise would be a good addition.

So like a simple, no-auth, realtime chat app using websockets to push data to each client? That sounds feasible in an hour.

A realtime chat without auth but with private messages or multiple rooms. Basically the user will pick a nickname, click next and then be able to chat on a general or create/join a room.

I turned off NoScript, and uBlock doesn't show any blocked requests (the only privacy add-ons I have.) Still no video. The player loads and shows an image, the video bar shows background video loading progress and even clicking to certain parts of the video shows different image clips. Just no video. So I've just given up.

That sucks. Email me? jon@calhoun.io I'll happily work with you to figure out the issue, even if it means giving you a link to download some videos in the meantime.

I discovered the problem after I managed to break video playback while configuring the newly installed browser.

Firefox has an "advanced" setting (about:config only) to prevent media automatically playing which was preventing playback - even with the video player's buttons. about:config | media.autoplay.enabled | true -> breaks the player.

However there's another anti-tracking option that prevents embedded videos even being displayed - Preferences | Privacy & Security | Tracking Protection | click [Change Block List...] -> 'Basic' works, 'Strict' doesn't .
