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?
Do you have HTML5 support?
<https://www.youtube.com/html5>
What is checked there?
Using SM, The page asks the question "What does this browser support?"
The following boxes are ticked :
HTMLVideoElement
Media Source Extensions
WebM VP8
MSE & WebM VP9
The following boxes have an exclamation mark in them :
H.264
MSE & H.264
Do I have HTML5 support? From the above, I'm unclear.
Can you play this youtube video "HTML5 Video as Fast as Possible"?

I have SeaMonkey 2.48 on Windows 8.0 Pro. The above video plays using
"MSE & WebM VP9".
Does the youtube HTML5 page say that "The HTML5 player is currently used
when possible"?
