Youtube videos complaining about lack of support

[coltson]

Hello, I have been trying to run youtube videos on palemoon and I keep receiving a message similar to this:

At the moment, your web browser does not recognize the available video formats. Click here to see the frequently asked questions about videos in html5 format

What can be done (if anything) to solve this issue? I am running palemoon 27.9.4SSE. And I cannot move to a 28.x palemoon

Are you still running this on Ubuntu 10.04?

Posting the output of Help > Troubleshooting Information might help, but there's no guarantee that we'll be able to find a solution for an out-of-date Pale Moon running on an out-of-date OS.

Other than upgrading to a supported distro and Pale Moon 28 there’s not likely to be anything you can do. Are the FFmpeg packages installed on your system?

since he is running SSE edition, 28 is no-go for SSE-only system?

FWIW, yesterday I upgraded to 64 bit linux Mint 19.1 (Tessa) Xfce and I use 64 bit linux Pale Moon (28.2.2). I have no problems viewing YouTube videos. No prompts from YouTube at all. Since I prefer the new YouTube interface where I can access YT's "Dark Theme", I changed my user agent since the default Pale Moon user agent for YT will not show the new YT interface. For YT, I use the user agent below in "about:config" (without the quote marks). In the Search field, I type the following:

Code: Select all

general.useragent.override.youtube.com

And then change the default YouTube user agent for YouTube to the one below:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0 (Pale Moon)

Yes, as I said previously, moving out is not simple.

Are the FFmpeg packages installed on your system?

Not the packages, but I do have ffmpeg here.

In the Search field, I type the following:

Code: Select all
general.useragent.override.youtube.com


And then change the default YouTube user agent for YouTube to the one below:

Unfortunatelly, it did not work.
