Audio of some videos play slow
Video just works fine but audio is a bit slow and sounds like alien talk.
Flash player is disabled. Youtube and Dailymotion works well.
Here's the example video:

Any clue ?
Thank you !

Is it what I call "the Home Alone 2 effect"?

That's the one, LOL.
Re: Audio of some videos play slow
had this issue the other day on twitter videos, i fixed it by going into pref.js and deleting this line
user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.99 Safari/537.36
no clue why an UA override would be responsible for that, but at least it works

Re: Audio of some videos play slow
The problem still exists. Some videos still play audio with alien voices.
One more video for referring:

Any more clue ?
Currently using Palemoon 27.8.3. and prefs.js doesnt contain such row.fillerup wrote:had this issue the other day on twitter videos, i fixed it by going into pref.js and deleting this line

Re: Audio of some videos play slow
I have seen videos for a live stream out of sync by as much as 50 secs. It was the finals of a local snooker tournie and I could tell it was 45-50 secs because the referee's score calls were 2 shots out all the way through. I cannot remember if forward or back but it is a common occurrence and may be related to delay caused by the scoreboard overlay.

Do not ever manually edit preferences files.

i'd like to think i know what i'm doing. or maybe you can explain why it's not a good idea instead of your condescending one liner that sounds like an adult talking down to a child?New Tobin Paradigm wrote:Do not ever manually edit preferences files.
did you search for that specific line or just general.useragent.override? as your profile might have a different override. if you're sure there is no active useragent override, then i can't provide additional help.mocambo wrote:The problem still exists.

worst case scenario you can clone your current profile and tinker with pref.js like i did by deleting off stuff until it works. before doing this, confirm that videos play fine on a fresh profile first

Re: Audio of some videos play slow
Actually, in this case, there is an officially documented way of doing it, namely the "user.js" file http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file Entries in this file override entries in "prefs.js". I keep a central copy, symlinked into multiple profile directories. I use it for basic stuff like turning turning ads autoplay off and updating useragents for sites that insist on "a current browser". I have multiple profiles, and it's really nice to be able to make a change in one central location, rather than having to do it umpteen times, once for each profile.
There's a right way
There's a wrong way
And then there's my way

At a first glance there was no such general.useragent.override you described. But as prefs.js actively changes every time browser restarted, in one moment similar row appeared there and i deleted it. Now all videos are with normal voices. Thanks !
