Youtube Center Showing Black Screen in Video

Post by Thehandyman1957 » 2015-08-22, 06:02

Hello all, I have been working on the idea that some day I will have to use something besides Flash and went ahead and switched my settings to HTML5.

But after doing this I noticed the video would load but only sound would work. The video portion would be just black. If I hovered over the play line it would show all the different snips of the video but that's it.

It turns out that Youtube Center https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... src=search
is the culprit. The problem is that in order to have external and internal Youtube video's show in HTML5 I need Youtube center.
It has settings that allow you to change what video format loads in both internal and external Youtube video's without the need for cookies.
It also allows for many many other settings for Youtube playback.

Actually even if you have Youtube's cookies enabled, the external videos still want to play in flash. This add-on fixes that and I find that this is a much needed add-on and I was wondering if anybody could take a look at it and see if it can be fixed for Pale Moon? :?:

If you really need YTC, remove the extension and try the developer version "YouTubeCenter.user.js" instead, need Greasemonkey or Scriptish.

Or better try Magic Actions: http://www.chromeactions.com/
