I'm running firefox for android 5.1. I get the 'video format or MIME type is not supported'.
When I try to play a video from dr.dk. I get the 'video format or MIME type is not supported'.
I have installed archived flash for android 4.x I have enabled 'stagefright.fore-enabled 'true'
When I try to enter the site as a 'desktop version', the video player tells me, that I need flash player 12 or newer.
Anyone knows how to solve this? The video player on dr.dk works fine in chrome, so firefox should be able to fix this, I guess.

Adobe has discontinued the old Flash Player for Android as last version was 11.1.115.81 back in September 2013.
Many sites now days are looking for more current branches of Flash Player. Linux users feel this sometimes with the Flash Player 11.2 that gets security updates.
Just because it seems to work in Chrome with its Flash Player does not mean it is something Mozilla can fix in the Android Firefox as the Android Flash Player is made by Adobe.

Chrome on Android does not support Adobe Flash. This is going to be difficult to troubleshoot as dr.dk blocks users outside Denmark from viewing video
"Vi er desværre begrænset til ikke at kunne afspille videoen uden for Danmark af rettighedshaverne. Befinder du dig i Danmark, kan problemet skyldes, at du sidder på en computer med en udenlandsk ip-adresse."
I'll try reporting it to the webcompat.com people to see if they can sort it out.
