Hello,

I'm using abrowser 39.0 and the "Youtube all" add-on. Until recently everything was fine and I could watch videos on Youtube all day long. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible. One or two days ago Youtube videos started to only play sound and I can only see a black screen instead of the video content. I didn't change anything and suspect it has something to do with a new Youtube layout. Any ideas or suggestions? Does Youtube work on your machines?

Thanks a lot for your help.

I heard YouTube changed its video player recently. Sadly, it's still proprietary.

Does that mean that it also doesn't work on your machine?

It sounds like one of the normal page elements is covering the unofficial video player you're trying to use.

I haven't had any such problems with ViewTube.

Thanks a lot for your replies. I solved the problem by just disabling the "Youtube all" add-on. Don't ask me why that worked, though.

It must fallback on the HTML5 player. You can try solutions in https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/play-videos-without-using-flash too. I personally use the ViewTube GreaseMonkey script. It works great on many websites.
