Re: youtube error msg & html5



It looks like you have missing some codecs or libs. Try installing these:
sudo apt-get install libavcodec57 libavcodec-extra57 va-driver-all vdpau-va-driver

Did you tried or have installed adobe flash player plugin?
Also, tell me about your hardware.

It's Firefox ESR 52.3.0  (64 bit)

As to you tube, when I go to youtube (youtube.com) and click on any of the videos available a new page opens w. only a black video graphic.  No way to start it so I have found that if I refresh the pate a new page starts w. the various video graphics at the bottom of that same black video graphic but w. the message about the browser not suporting any of the video formats and with the message about html5.  I can't start the graphic using the start button in the graphic, nothing happens.

I just picked one video from the youtube.com site and this is the url.  It really doesn't matter which one I select...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IqDsPXfzjk

I don't get it. Have been having this same problem about the first graphic not working for about a week but was able to get it sorking when the refresh page hit and I could hit the start graphic button in the video frame.  It no longer works....

Thanks.

Thanks.   I've searched for the answer but nothing makes any sense.... and many of the answers are very old....  The youtube screen points me to a page about firefox and html5 but I can't find out how to fix the problem......

What browser and version, and what YouTube URL?

Kind regards,
