Oddities with Youtube.

(1/8) > >>

Digi:
I have a strange problem with youtube on the one of my systems. This is the same for FF 38.8.0 and FF 45.9.0.
On youtube I can see load bar (line) at the bottom of video frame (with loading progress), small frames on load bar whem I try move forward. But on the video frame, the "waiting ring" turns constantly and there is no image.

On page https://www.youtube.com/html5 next items available with FF 3.8.0:
  HTMLVideoElement, H.264 and WebM VP8.
with FF 45.9.0 all items available.
It's just like on my other system, where everything works fine.

All necessary components from the repository, including ffmpeg, have been updated. What could be the problem?

Dariusz Piatkowski:
Hmm...a bit strange that you saw this in 38.8 as well (I did not), however, there are a number of 45.9 users out there that are experiencing this very same thing (including myself).

This appears to be due to the built-in support for VP8 & VP9.

Someone posted a work-around for this issue in another thread, but here is a  direct link => https://github.com/erkserkserks/h264ify-firefox.

This add-on will force youtube to stream H264 instead of the VPx stuff, works here.

Yes, I also tried it. To no avail.

Latest version needs ff48

...using version 1.0.5 here on my 45.9 install...works fine, albeit a tad choppy at times...however, it beats the VP9 stuff which completely hosed what appeared to have been a well working 45.9 beta release playback...
