There seems to be a kind of war going on between the proponents of Adobe
Flash, something open source called Webm, and the HTML5 player.
Increasingly videos from this or that source will not play in either SM
or FF.
For instance, recent videos posted to Youtube increasingly will not play
in SM 2.46. Instead, an error message says "Your browser does not
currently recognize and of the video formats available. Click here to
visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video."
The same problem occurs in FF 52.3.0.
Going to the offered Youtube FAQ, the information there is confusing and
inadequate - it does not tell me exactly what I have to do or what I
need in order to play video that apparently wants the HTML player . . .
whatever exactly that is!
Chrome 49.0.2623.112 *will* run the *same* videos that the others won't.
What is going on here!? Very difficult to get any clear explanation
about this.
Can anyone explain?
Agreeing with Frank on the XP thing. If you're on XP, best bet is to
*try* K-Lite Basic. Otherwise, <shrug>. 2017 tech doesn't work on a 15+
year old OS.
Chrome 49 isn't FF 52.3.0. Who knows what tricks they used back in
v49.0. You're running insecure apps my friend. If you insist on running
a depreciated OS, at least do the POS2009 hack for XP to keep yourself
safe for a few more years.
