From: Lena@lena.kiev.ua To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, yury@gorodok.net Cc: Subject: Re: misc/177404: youtube videos in firefox not working Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2013 11:07:49 +0300 HTML5 is not available for videos with resolution 240p only. Examples: Resolution 240p, doesn't play - complains of Flash version (if dom.ipc.plugins.enabled is set to true - default): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjnxFjsVVM8 Resolution 480p, plays with HTML5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdeLXyolaLc Setting dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false tells Firefox not to use plugin-container (execution of plugins in separate processes), then youtube plays with Flash. But that decreases stability: if a plugin crashes, Firefox crashes too. Also, a report on http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=214710#post214710 : > some non-Youtube videos will not play if > [dom.ipc.plugins.enabled] is set to false Perhaps youtube cannot determine Flash version if plugin-container is used? Do Linuxes have this problem? If no, why FreeBSD does? How to discern with what (Flash or HTML5) a video is played: right-click the video, the last line in the pop-up menu displays Flash version if the video is played with Flash.
