Youtube video manager

Oops, your web browser is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a modern, fully supported browser.

It appears that it doesn't even matter what I select in the compatibility user agent mode. Does it even do anything? It never changed a thing for me.
What should I do to make this crap site work properly?

[Pallid Planetoid]

Try: general.useragent.override.youtube.com set to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0

I don't get this message using this UAO.

[Pallid Planetoid]

FWIW -- My Pale Moon Compatibility "User Agent Mode" is set to "Firefox Compatibility" in Options > Advanced > General.

[Octopuss]

That doesn't change anything

Is this the URL that you are using that gives you the warning banner? https://www.youtube.com/VideoManager

When I use this URL I get the following (do not see the "Oops, your web browser is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a modern, fully supported browser." banner warning anywhere):

[Pallid Planetoid]

Tried the same URL (https://www.youtube.com/VideoManager) and logged-in and still I do not see any "Oops, your web browser is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a modern, fully supported browser." banner warning anywhere on the page - still looks like screen-shot I previously posted. And I'm using the UAO that I previously posted that you are saying makes no difference.

I tried changing the UAO setting I suggested: general.useragent.override.youtube.com;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0 (which is what I use)

to the Pale Moon UAO setting: general.useragent.override.youtube.com;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0 PaleMoon/27.4.1

And I still do not get the warning banner you describe.

If the URL you are using is this: https://www.youtube.com/VideoManager then what is it that you are doing on the webpage when you get this warning banner?

That looks like a specific youtube channel that someone named videomanager I believe. It works fine for me too.

Another possiblity is If you log in to youtube and then on the left side click on "my channel" , on the page that opens toward the middle left top there is a link "Video Manager". When I click on that I don't get any errors or can't finds. Seems to work fine.

I think this might be a direct link to it: https://www.youtube.com/my_videos?o=U

[Octopuss]

No.
The URL is https://www.youtube.com/enhance?v=<video id>

Yes it's related to your own Youtube channel and whatever you might have uploaded.

[tenseys]

Edited: Okay here is a url with a video id and it shows "sorry the video cannot be edited"

https://www.youtube.com/enhance?v=2u710NWDYvY

I guess because it's not my video and I can't edit it?

With what specific url and under what circumstances exactly are you getting this browser message?

[tenseys]

Okay I think I see what you are talking about:

It occurs in this case when you upload a video into YouTube and then try to apply "enhancements" in the youtube creator studio/video manager to it. When you go the enhancements screen the above shows. It happens if you select audio screen too.

Not sure what exactly to try to see if I can make it work. I did try a user agent switcher and it made the message go away and replaced it with update your flash player but I stopped there since I don't know what I'm doing and don't want to mess up my settings etc.

[Pallid Planetoid]

Now that you're not getting the browser update banner warning but instead getting a flash player update warning you may actually need to update your flash player before doing what you want with videos.

What version of flash player are you using (under "Add-ons" > "Plugins")?

Well personally I don't need this to work since I don't use it. I was just trying to duplicate the OP's problem since we were having a hard time figuring out what exactly is the problem in terms of urls etc.

But anyway my Flash is 26.0.0.137. Edit: for kicks I updated it but same version shows.

[tenseys]

That's strange. I updated flash to 26.0.0.151 and I can see it in add/remove programs but PM/FF is reporting that I have the older one - .137. Maybe they only report the new version when a version is out of date and replaced?

Added: I did a computer restart and now updated flash is showing in FF/PM (.151) correctly.

[tenseys]

So how does one switch to a user agent that this youtube site function might like? What I tried before doesn't seem to be working.

[Pallid Planetoid]

Instead of an add-on, use about:config.... by doing the following:

1) Select the following: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
2) Right-click on the selected value (above) and select "Copy" from the context menu.
3) Type about:config into Pale Moon address bar and click "I promise to be careful".
4) In Search box type in useragent.
5) Scroll down until you find general.useragent.override.youtube.com
6) Right-click on that setting and select "Modify" from the context menu.
7) Paste (what you had copied above) to the string-value by using the CTRL+V keys together (the new, copied, string-value will have replaced previous string-value).
8) Click "Ok" button (to save it).

Now the general.useragent.override.youtube.com UAO pref will be set to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0 for Pale Moon.

Ok I did that but it had no effect on the video. Shows the same thing in the enhancement area (and audio) as image posted earlier.

[tenseys]

If you click on the link that states use a modern browser etc, it takes you to this page:

https://www.youtube.com/html5


Tried doing this in FF and it does work - you can use the video in enhancements and sound.

Are you using the HTML5 Media Tuner Pale Moon add-on? I have the "media mode" in this add-on for Youtube set to "HTML5 + MSE".

[Pallid Planetoid]

Also my Pale Moon browser video settings (Options > Content) are set to the following:

[tenseys]

Also my Pale Moon browser video settings (Options > Content) are set to the following: Video settings in PMv27.4.png

I installed and tried the media tuner set like you said and my settings in option content are just like that but no change with video. Still won't show/play and states update your browser etc.
