TC 11 Pale Moon browser not playing videos

<< < (2/2)

Thanks for the feedback. Trying out the Vivaldi browser which so far seems to do what I need!

Ok, went back and fiddled around with Pale Moon some more, and found out the video "problem" was a settings issue. In Pale Moon Tools/Preferences/Content/Video panel, unchecked the "Use MSE asynchronously" option and checked the "Enable MSE for WebM video" option. Now web videos (at least what I've looked at so far) play. I don't recall having to do this before, which makes me feel slightly less dumb for not figuring that out before :/

Well, but Pale Moon still doesn't play embedded MP3 files (e.g. the ones with the player icon on the web page). Hmm...

Belated FYI, it looks like Juanito was right about the TC version of Pale Moon requiring older codecs etc. I didn't get a reply from the maintainer on updating, so resorted to downloading libavcodec, libavutil, libvpx, and X264 extensions from TC 10.x repository. The 11.x repository had some other extensions that were needed. This restored the functionality of Pale Moon. Not something I'd recommend as a general solution since there are probably incompatibilities with more recent versions of the 10.x extensions, but works OK for me.
