Dailymotion videos not playing anymore

Since recently I can no longer view dailymotion videos with K-Meleon 76 RC.
Is that normal, anyone else has this problem, what could be a solution ?
Thx a lot in advance,
Mala

Make sure that cookies are enabled and
dom.storage.enabled
is set to true in about:config.
With the above settings I can watch their clips in K-Meleon 76RC.
As a reward Dailymotion will bless you with a shitload of cookies and will write to the browser's persistent storage.

Thx, Yogi. Tried it but no success at all - I don't know why.

Maybe you can provide a link with a clip that doesn't work so one can test.

The
link you did provide works fine for me (K-Meleon 76RC/Win7).
See attached
screenshot.
It should work on Win10 as well except something got messed up at your end.

@Yogi Suggestion, perhaps post a screenshot of your "media" and "ipc" hits in about:config? (not from prefs.js, because it doesn't list the default settings)

I've tested with default settings, something I'd advise everyone to do if something doesn't work.
My prefs in "about:config" are tailored for my own needs and will break some sites.

Same with Win XP. Works.
Maybe codec missing?

It's HTML5.
At least that's what the
link provided by Mala gives.
If you look at the source of the site there is another link with the swf (flv) flavor:
http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/xjnryl
This one plays also fine in K-Meleon 76RC, assuming that you have the flash plugin.
Besides, this link neither requires cookies to be enabled nor does it require access to the browser's persistent storage.
