Hi
In my firefox.sce.lst I have
gstreamer1.0-libav
libcanberra0

in order to listen and view youtube

Jason W:
First, thank you for your time and tesing.

I am running dCore-artful and have only the following imported SCEs installed and running icewm as the WM:  xorg-all, firerfox, icewm, and kernel-all-4.8.17-tinycore.

I have video and audio with youtube in firefox.  I don't have libcanberra0 or any gstreamer* package installed.  I am not using extra repos, fwiw. 

jls:
Hi
Jason you are right, for youtube the 2 packages are not needed.
But gstreamer1.0-libav is needed for example for the following site:

ciao

Jason W:
Ok, I noticed earlier that adding gstreamer1.0-libav adds some megabytes to a firefox.sce, but as there is nothing small or light about firefox it is better to be a little more size and have full functionality.  Especially when it is not obvious to the user which dependency is missing when an online video does not work. I will add gstreamer1.0-libav to the deps of firefox today.

Jason W:
gstreamer1.0-libav allows video playback at the site you mentioned and the html5 video test site mentioned below:

https://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html

But audio is not supported on either with an import of firefox with gstreamer1.0-libav, icewm, and xorg-all.  Video and audio does work with those sites with my desktop installation without flash player.   So still some deps missing to support html5 video and audio playback.  I will find them and add to firefox's deps as html5 video/audio support is a must.
