Hi Stroller, |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
more detailed: |
| 32 |
I created a new profile and added some not related addons. |
| 33 |
Then I checked some settings under about:config and surfed |
| 34 |
to check-page for html5 by Google/Youtube: Everything is fine. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Then I tried to watch/hear a video on YouTube: |
| 37 |
WATCH: OK |
| 38 |
HEAR : FAILED |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
dmesg shows nothing |
| 41 |
the commandline, from where I started firefox shows nothing related |
| 42 |
too. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
A right click onto the running video shows setting for the HTML5 |
| 45 |
player of firefox. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Then I installed the addon "Flash for YouTube" (similiar) and started |
| 48 |
the same Video: Viola! |
| 49 |
WATCH: OK |
| 50 |
HEAR : OK |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
A right click onto the running video display "Adobe Flash Player". |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Other video sites: |
| 55 |
VIMEO: Same situation |
| 56 |
BBC: blocked because I am not in the UK |
| 57 |
Pornhub, Redtube: Not tested (for obvious reasons) |
| 58 |
Dailymotion: Went crazy...total confusion of the site |
| 59 |
Vocaroo: not tested (privacy concerns) |
| 60 |
Bandcamp: The site does not react nicely (playback does not start at |
| 61 |
all) |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Since the HTML5-player starts, when I disable Flash and the flash |
| 64 |
format is not playable with a HTML5-player at all (I get a video |
| 65 |
running ... only the sound is missing) I am quite sure, that it |
| 66 |
is HTML5. The test page by Google/Youtube also states that my |
| 67 |
Firefox is "HTML5 ready/capable". |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Oh, how I like music videos without sound.... ;) |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
Best regards, |
| 72 |
Meino |
