YouTube videos missing quality options in Firefox

#1 Post by _MegadetH_ »

Hello,
I'm trying last Slacko iso and in Firefox If i play videos on youtube it miss quality options.

I got this message: YouTube videos missing quality options on this browser

YouTube videos are available in many formats and resolutions. However, some browsers do not support newer video formats. This means these browsers may only have one or two video formats to choose from. We recommend upgrading your browser or operating system for the best viewing experience.

Below are some browser and operating system combinations that support YouTube's high-quality video formats:

Google Chrome (all operating systems)
Internet Explorer or Edge on Windows 8.1 or newer
Safari on Mac OS X 10.10 or newer
Firefox on Windows 7 or newer and on Mac OS X 10.10 or newer


How can I play hd videos?

The Firefox in Slacko is one that is compiled by the Slackware people and it may be that some features have been left out to try to make it smaller and lighter on resources.

You could try installing the official build of Firefox ESR from the mozilla website or maybe try Google Chrome or one of the other Chromium derivative browsers from the "Additional Software" section of this forum. See if any of those work better. Let us know if you need more detailed help.

Yep. Try one of the latest, "rt-clk >> sfs_load" browser pkgs in this sub-forum.
