Online radio fails to play in "http://www.iheart.com/" on windows. If media logs are enabled and an audio is played following logs shows that there is some problem with Media layer. Things seem to be fine at Webview side.

1. "https://radio.abc.net.au/stations/news/live?play=true" is working fine with 9 and 8uDev. 2. "http://www.cbsnews.com/live/" - This page tries to play a ".ts" file which is not supported. 3. "http://www.slacker.com/station/abc-news" - This page renders fine in Webview but needs Flash to run the media. JDK-8175286 relates to flash support in JavaFx. 4 "http://www.iheart.com/" - On Mac, JavaFX Webview is able to play music from iheart.com like safari and working fine.

Could some of this be due to missing MSE/Dash support?

http://www.iheart.com/ -- doesn't play on 9 or 8u
31-08-2016
http://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/listen-live -- plays fine with JDK 9; fails with 8u60, 8u102, and latest 8u-dev. http://www.slacker.com/station/abc-news -- on 9, 8u60, 8u102, and 8u-dev it stays at the "Tuning" step and never gets to the point where it loads audio. This might be a WebView bug, and if so, would need to be handled separately.

The issue with resizing is an application bug. The root node should be a layout pane if you want resizing to work automatically. If you change the Group to a StackPane then it will work as expected. You will not need your own ScrollPane nor will you need to set the vgrow property of the VBox.

According to bug submitter, The webview comes with it's own scrollpane. By removing the one that's added, everything works as expected.

Another response =============== You'll notice while running the application that if you try and resize the window, the content doesn't follow the border. I've tried a whole bunch of different things to try and make the scene follow the stage with no luck. Do you know how to tie the scene to the stage so when you resize the window, the scene follows?

We will need a small test application to reproduce the issue.
