Problem

Deezer tracks do not play from openwhyd.org anymore.

Example: click on the play icon from https://openwhyd.org/c/53034e7f200c8a632700022a => the music should start within 2 seconds, but it does not…

Here’s what is displayed in the JavaScript console:

=> Hypothesis: Deezer’s SDK / API may have changed.

Re! I managed to get more informations about that error… it seems it’d be some kind of CORS issues… Those logs come from firefox that just seem to let it go through at some point, although chrome for exemple doesn’t…

SecurityError: Permission denied to access property "href" on cross-origin object

And basically, chrome never seems to reach that step… : DZ.override_https() from channel file true and just goes

youtube iframe stop:
DEEZER STOP

While firefox seems to asynchronously do the job… there you’ll notice that if you add two deezer tracks in a row in a playlist, and play the first one, but start a second one… they’ll play at the same time (over each other)…

Does that means anything to you? Do you think i’m on the right track?

UPDATE : There are also mentions being sent of Flash not being accessible/installed (although it defo is on my machine)

UPDATE 2 :

Refused to display 'https://connect.deezer.com/oauth/auth.php?app_id=190482&format=channel&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/html/channel.html&response_type=token' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'.
