eugene Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 sup dongmasters, is there any way to force youtubes posted on watmm to play through flashplayer instead of html5 player? firefox has some issues with html5 player and youtube recently (probably the reason they're lagging behind with proper 60fps playback). testing something.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ke-_nKHpDs [youtubehd]7Ke-_nKHpDs[/youtubehd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 oh ok i get it now. when you simply put a youtube link into a post it will resolve into html5. but when you use old school tags it gets you the flash player. anyway i wonder if it's possible to force the usage of flash only on the user's side.

Maybe with a userscript, do you have any idea what the html code for both flash and html5 embeds looks like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTML 5 is far less cpu intensive, does not require an (in)secure third-party plug in, and is far more configurable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 doesn't matter to me, it doesn't work well and i'm not gonna switch browsers, the current iteration of firefox is simply superior in every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugene Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 yeah i tested it on other pcs and it does work fine, it's some kind incompatibility with what i have that i can't figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any software for editing/converting video or some stand-alone video player, it might have installed a codec that interferes with the one the browser uses...

eugene Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 that's a really good idea, i do have at least 5 video players and all kinds of codecs (was messing around a lot with proper playback for tv), will definitely try it now.

eugene Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 ok i messed around with it a bit (deleted/installed and reinstalled players and codec) and nothing helps,so i officially can't be arsed anymore and i'm back to forcing flash playback as there's absolutely no difference in performance in my experience. when flash officially ceases to exist (probably in like 20 years given how proliferated it is) then i'll worry about it. also on the other hand IE and chrome do work fine with html5 with what i have, and i presume they use the same codecs and stuff, so it is a very much firefox issue.

eugene Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 well it's the opposite of a problem that i used to have where i needed to force flash, but anyway, did you switch to html5 here? https://www.youtube.com/html5 i guess websites can still force whatever player they want, see my first post for example: one vid is html5 and another is flash because of different embedding methods.
