I installed pmplayer and restarted pm, but still does not play bc. Do I need to change other setting?

Read the instructions on how to use the extension, from its homepage that's linked to from its entry in your addons.

Got it playing, and sized. I'm assuming there are no speed or quality settings since I don't see a settings button.

That depends on the video host in question, not the extension since all it does is display whatever the site provides in an embed.

Odysee is now not playing; should this be approached the same way as Bitchute?

It may be them being broken. I know that is a possibility, since getting a video with youtube-dl did not work for me 2 days ago.

Web designers have gotten lazy (or dumb) and that's something that Pale Moon has to fix??

While I'm waiting for Bitchute and Odysee vids to play again in the browser, does anyone have any recommendations for a different high security browser that will play properly?

I don't know if this fits your definition of a "high security browser" but my secondary browser is Vivaldi. I can't say whether it plays Bitchute or Odysee videos as I don't use those sites, but I bet it would. FTR, I hate the fact I have to have a chromium based browser on my system, but that's just the reality for me as even Firefox doesn't work well on my job's website.

I know! Any code can be fixed, provided there is time. I meant sometimes the user is screwed, and there is nothing for that user to do, for a period of time.

I installed Brave, and it plays all formats, and is a bit faster and scrolls more smoothly on my older laptop. It's a bit too polished though, and I have to think that if they have that much backing to polish it, it might have a backdoor sellout to the big guys.

Odysee is working fine for me on Mint 20.1, Pale Moon 29.4.2.1 with uBlockO and Adblock Latitude.

Yes it is.
It's also off-topic here, since this thread is about BitChute.

People, it's one thread for each distinct issue with that one site.
Please open separate threads for problems with other sites (if one doesn't already exist, search first) - even if that other site is a video site.

Disabling inline scripts no longer works, at least for me. Infinite loading.

Maybe tomorrow everything will run fine, but I don't know that.

I like old Plyr v3.3.9.
It seems to me that it works faster.

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==
// @name        bitchute
// @namespace   btc1
// @include     https://www.bitchute.com/*
// @run-at document-start
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==
if(window.location.hostname == 'www.bitchute.com') {
   document.addEventListener("beforescriptexecute",
    function(e) {
      if(e.target.src == 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/plyr/3.6.9/plyr.polyfilled.min.js') {
        var s = document.createElement('script');
        s.type = 'text/javascript';
        s.src = 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/plyr/3.3.9/plyr.polyfilled.min.js';
        s.async = false;
        e.target.parentNode.insertBefore(s, e.target.nextSibling);
        e.preventDefault();
        e.stopPropagation();

        var lnk = document.getElementsByTagName("link");
        for(var i=0; i<lnk.length; i++) {
          if(lnk[i].href=='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/plyr/3.6.9/plyr.min.css')
            lnk[i].href='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/plyr/3.3.9/plyr.css';
        };

      };
    }
   , true);
};

Most people's bitchute are still not playing without an extra player, correct?
