Bandcamp won't play in Abrowser?

Pressing the Bandcamp "play" button does nothing, even after I disable all addons (noscript, etc). Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for reading.
maybe you use an old version of totem.
totem and totem-mozilla are both newest version.
although, i have uninstalled and reinstalled them more than once (because I wanted video formats to open with VLC by default, and I couldn't find a better way of doing this). maybe this could have caused it somehow?
what is Bandcamp ?
Bandcamp is a website where artists can sell digital music files (or make them available for free download). A lot of music is available on a "name your price" basis. Downloads are always available in a choice of FLAC, Ogg, mp3, etc. And now it allows artists to elect whether to make their music Creative Commons instead of All Rights Reserved. Pretty exciting for free culture.
Just to make it realy easy for people to test whether Bandcamp works for them in Abrowser, here is a link http://fidelium.bandcamp.com/ . Try pressing the big "play" icon and see if it does anything.
(I'm not fidelium, it was just the first thing that came to mind as something nice I found that's available in CC and name-your-price.)
It doesn't work in Abrowser but it's working with Midori..
Same here. Working in Midori but not in Abrowser.
So it's a bug in Abrowser?
(Or is it something that was scrubbed from Abrowser for freedom-compatibility reasons, but that Midori hasn't spotted?!)
In Parabola's version of Iceweasel (iceweasel-libre), it's working fine.
Also I should mention that it has to be a browser feature, since I don't have any plugin for VLC installed (and I don't have Totem installed).
Looks it could be due to some HTML5 problems in Abrowser. If you go to this page
and click the button, you get this message:
"Sorry, but unfortunately, your browser does not support HTML5 audio in the format we need. Maybe someday it will, or we'll add more supported formats, or something else will happen."
Ah, hang on... "the format we need"... does that just mean that Abrowser deliberately won't stream mp3?
I just found this thread
http://trisquel.info/en/forum/how-enable-mp3-support-html5-abrowser
which sheds some light on the subject (before getting flame-y).
Still a bit confused though.
Waiting for the glorious Opus transition.
And so it does. Thank you!
Unfortunately, bandcamp seems to use partially proprietary javascript;
most javascript on the site is free, but there are some problematic files.
For instance:
https://s.bandcamp.com/tmpdata/cache/home_desktop_bundle_ecf3fbb0e68d7918b01e87f07749a800.js
That's unfortunate...I might complain to them.
Still, I'm confused. Does Abrowser concern itself with proprietary javascript, even without any LibreJS or NoScript added on?
It's fixed with today's update :)
very good notice indeed. Thanks.
Dosen't work with Abrowser 24...
