Some problems with Youtube

Unread post by tor000 » 2017-08-21, 09:01

Hello:
When I watch a video at Youtube with Pale Moon, I've noticed that after finishing it, when I want to watch it again, pressing the play button, jumps Youtube player from the beginning of the video, to the end of the video, so I had to refresh the video.
Similar thing happens when I watch a video and wants to returns to some earlier part of the video that I want to watch again, and Youtube player jumps from it to the current part that was played.
What causes this?

It's likely caused by the fact that you've enabled the old format reader and webm. There are known issues with the old reader because it draws on an older version of the MSE spec.

There are known issues with MSE + WebM which are being worked on. For now it is highly recommended that you disable MSE + WebM and use MSE asyncronously (which uses a newer version of the MSE spec and is more compatible with the current web).
