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.
Well, unless you buy me W10 and a computer it will actually run on, I
think I'm going to have to use XP and my old hardware for a while yet,
'cos some of us have less money than others . . . .. :-(
I know about POS2009, but don't see it as a viable option for a number
of reasons. However,thanks for the thought.
