Youtube 360º videos

Unread post by SLotman » 2018-10-01, 12:41

I don't know if this is a new issue, or an old one. I just tried to watch a 360º video on Youtube, and it doesn't work on Palemoon - at first it shows the video 'stretched', not even showing the controls to 'pan around'.

I then tried this user agent string from Opera, and it worked for a couple of seconds... then I couldn't do anything not even pausing / resuming the video worked anymore. After tabbing out and back in, I was able to close the tab, and that was it.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.132 Safari/537.36 OPR/50.0.2762.67

I also tried the UAS from the latest firefox, the video rendered correctly, but no controls on screen.

This is the video I was trying to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99_VQRURay8

Is this a known issue? I tried searching before posting, but nothing related showed up.

Can you guys rotate the view?

Here it shows like this - which is wrong:

It should look like this: (this is how Opera / Firefox shows it)

Note that the controller on the top left doesn't even appear in the first image.

Yes, and the control on the top left is displayed for me.

Weird. For me even in safe mode it shows the problem:

I think I found the problem: I had "plugins.rewrite_youtube_embeds;true" in my config. Set it to false, now video is working as it should.

For me YT360 videos works regardless of the "plugins.rewrite_youtube_embeds" state (default is true).
