[Bug 1439532] Re: Firefox 37 does not enable MSE required for YouTube HTML5 player

 

As written above on another machine with 14.04 MSE works. I also have
the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed.

I double checked and have the libavcodec-extra-56 package installed. So
it should work. If Ubuntu decides to deactivate that feature
nevertheless it is a bug and you must at least provide a way to re
enable it. The MSE is an important feature of this Firefox release,
simply deactivating removes some functionality from Firefox that is used
by a lot of people.

Title:
  Firefox 37 does not enable MSE required for YouTube HTML5 player

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After today's update to Firefox 37, the HTML5 video play on YouTube
  should work with hight resolutions that 720p. On a 14.04 installation
  it does work, but on my 15.04 installation it does not. This feature
  is part of the official Mozilla change log, so it must be a packaging
  bug.

  You can verify the status of MSE on this YouTube page:
  www.youtube.com/html5 . Firefox 37 is supposed to support all, but the
  last feature (VP9 with MSE). But Firefox on vivid apparently only
  supports the top row, in sufficient to watch higher resolution video.
