Youtube Videos no longer load ( except using "workaround" )
recently i'm having a problem on youtube , days ago i could still watch old videos , but in those days i'm getting error of browser doesn't recognize video formats also on those old videos ( that basically could watch before ), having this problem from 2/3 days , randomly i can still see a video , but it's starting to happen much , nothing is changed on my pc , no virus , no everything , any way to fix it ? i've tested also a firefix refresh , disabling the acceleration driver and deleting cache and cokies , nthing wotked
as a workaround i noticed choosing a random videos listed on the right from youtube , the video load , but if i refresh the page , the error come again , here a screenshot of a video that load before the refreshed , and after the refresh no : https://i.imgur.com/wE9UDjf.jpg
this workaround doesn't work on videos embed on forum for examples , and i prefer get youtube wirking fine as before
i have windows vista 32 bit service pack 1 ( cannot upgrade this ) and firefox 43 ( never liked new versions ) sorry for bad english
thank you in advance for answers

Vista & 43.
Could be troublesome, & more so as time goes on.
Both are too old for me to remember, but...
Maybe check about:config for MSE, mp4, video, media, related prefs & maybe mess around with them seeing if you can get things working?
HTML 5 videos won't play

Re: Youtube Videos no longer load ( except using "workaround
The issue is Lanselot has the ancient SP1 and not the SP2 so getting a Platform Update Supplement for Windows Vista that is compatible with SP1 and not requiring SP2 (that came out not long after SP1) is a issue. This Supplement has the media foundation for the codecs to fully support the HTML5 players like used at https://www.youtube.com/html5/

Re: Youtube Videos no longer load ( except using "workaround
i know about codecs , but on youtube i was always able to watch older videos whitout them , now the videos only load with the workaround i described , seems like a bug , would be nice know a way for solve it if possible
don't know which boolean change on about config too , dont want create more problems , but the setup of my pc and firefox didn't change from the time that older videos loaded fine , so i doubt could be because of a boolean too
thank you for answers

Re: Youtube Videos no longer load ( except using "workaround
If I remember correctly (don't use youtube) youtube is migrating to all HTML 5 and will require the codecs. At some point you will be out of luck.Lanselot wrote:i know about codecs , but on youtube i was always able to watch older videos whitout them ,

Re: Youtube Videos no longer load ( except using "workaround
Oops, sorry, "&spf=navigate" didn't make sense(json is normal), it is a part of loading process. Maybe I meant that Loading-the-page-body and Moving-to-another-video-on-the-loaded-page is very different.
BTW, the only case I can reproduce the problem is having
media.fragmented-mp4.enabled=false
media.mediasource.enabled=false
(Firefox 43.0/Windows10)
With this settings, direct link(or bookmark, history) to the video shows "Your browser does not currently recognize...", but videos from right-column play normally(with vp8.0,vorbis) and reloading it makes "Your browser...". There seems no way to play normally.
This settings causes only vp8 supported. (see https://www.youtube.com/html5)
You could make sure media.mediasource.enabled=true and vp9 supported.
(I'm not sure but youtube might require h.264 or vp9 support for loading-the-page-body)
This may totally pointless because I'm on Windows10.

Re: Youtube Videos no longer load ( except using "workaround
Can someone possibly help me with this?
This is the message I get more and more in FF:
"Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.
Click here to visit our FAQ about HTML5 video"
BUT.... when I Fire up Chrome, the videos play, no problem!

Re: Youtube Videos no longer load ( except using "workaround
Your user agent looks like you are on XP? Even in Chrome consider yourself lucky if it keeps working.
Slight chance one of these links might help: http://wp.xin.at/archives/4059 or https://msfn.org/board/topic/175591-ena ... out-flash/
Also, if you have Flash installed make sure it is up to date and enabled on that site, it will be auto blocked if it is out of date.
