Not Working Anymore. #3

Open LordYesLord opened 7 years ago

LordYesLord commented 7 years ago

First of all this is my first time using this website, so excuse me if I do something wrong. Secondly I want to report a problem, until today 12/09.2017 this script worked just fine, now it doesn't load anymore. I'm using firefox, greasemonkey and youtube flash video player 54 and disabling the webm settings in about config. Until today that worked just fine, however now I get "your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here for html5 questions." Can this be fixed or youtube really wants to shove html5 down our throats? Thank you.

It seems they shut off even embedded flash videos... We are left wondering if other handhold exist

juneyourtech commented 7 years ago

Yeah, well, I'm getting the same symptoms. Stand-alone embeds do not show Flash either.

@LordYesLord The upated Flash userscript was here, but it's maybe good to know, that the older version worked, too.

As stated above, it cannot be fixed, unless someone more clever than I provides the necessary code to get Flash back in such a way, that it's publicly available from YouTube itself. Some other (deeper) methods might stretch the limits of permissibility.

The best I can say now, is, that it was good as long as it lasted.

@juneyourtech My apologizes for posting in the wrong place, and thank you for the reply. So for now no fix, bummer. Well like you said at least it was good while it lasted.

@LordYesLord That's all right. Just tonight I discovered, that the link to the older release was passed around in the reviews/comments to two of YouTube/Flash-enabling extensions at the Mozilla Add-ons site. I didn't know, that the userscript had gained any traction beyond just a handful of people. And it all lasted for a little more than one month.
