Greetings all;
I can see that its installed and should be calling kaffeine to service a quite wide range of video formats.
YoutTube goes with flashplayer: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/supported-codecs-flash-player.html
Unfortunately, while kaffeine is installed and runs for other digital than tv broadcast, neither firefox is actually calling it. So while I can see videos, some on cnn, and some on nbc news in firefox's postcard sized video, nothing that I have been able to add, will call up kaffeine to play a youtube video. If I launch a copy and have it running, it seems to me that firefox should pass the data stream to the running copy of kaffeine.
write in your url: about:plugins and check the output
But its not happening, no reaction from kaffeine can be obtained from either version of firefox.
So I installed the gxine launcher plugin. Looks like an identical list of acceptable video formats to that of kaffeine.
Perhaps because kaffeine uses the same xine software?
Is there an about:config option to be set so this works? What else do I need to check?
Tools -> AddOns -> Plugins
Thats all there, looking good, but neither of the two new firefoxes will use it. I believe the only videos I can play are H264 stuff.
you can manage whatever you have installed
