"Disable for this video" feature #28

Sometimes, you want to disable the HTML5 player, perhaps because the original player has more features, and you want to see a specific thing. In that case, it would be good to have a "Disable for this video" feature to reload the page without replacing the video player. It would be best placed on the context menu or a player button.

This seems to be very useful on many cases:

cases where the user prefert the default player for the current url or site.
sites using YT player api to load videos and adds other features on top of it which is not supported and probably will not be supported by the addon.
Live streaming which is not supported by stable Firefox releases yet.
cases where the addon just does not works.

Currently, the add-on have a hidden option to disable some sites support extensions.html5-video-everywhere@lejenome.me.disable, it accepts a comma-seperated list of sites names e.g: youtube,vimeo.

It's now in the context menu for anyone else reading this, and thank you for that.

Can you please add support for re-enabling on a site? I disabled HTML5 support on DailyMotion out of curiosity and now I can't watch videos on DailyMotion since HTML5 player doesn't work on my Firefox for some reason.

Also, I tried uninstalling and re-installing this add-on several times, as well as restarting my computer and I still can't re-enable it on DailyMotion.

Did you try going to "about:config" and then deleting the site in question from "extensions.html5-video-everywhere@lejenome.me.disable"?

Thank you so much Hez0, I didn't even know there was an about:config page! It worked when I deleted ",dailymotion" and restarted Firefox. I will remember this page next time I come across extensions and plug-in related issues.
