I say _think_ because I have used html5 since the days when you had to use the beta, or whatever it was called - in those days, clips with adverts did not play (no flash here). Now, I just click on a video and it works. Well, I'm sure there will still be some which do not, but everything seems to work - firefox-36.0 (and 35.0) with gstreamer-1.4.5, qupzilla with qt and legacy gstreamer. I do not know how to check which youtube format I am watching.
For audio, I always build all the plugins - with most of the deps. I'm currently testing by watching what claims to be HD (720p) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBzV2MxrQMo - the first suggestion I clicked on. I have both of those settings as false, and media.gstreamer.enabled as true. Also .webm and .youtubeonly are true. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
