Well, I set both of those to "true" and the link you provided played just fine as well as any video that I could find so far.
So now the question is: why does it play for you, but not for me when both options are set to "true"?
Yes, that is the question.
Both options default to "false" in latest Fedora Firefox 40, which means you can't watch any video on Youtube with a higher resolution than max. 480p. At least I can't. Higher resolutions as 720 or 1080p are only accessible to me when both options are "true". Otherwise, I simply can't choose them. They are not offered.
With both options set to "false" my system plays this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_zcEgx1IgQ in 720p.
Maybe point me to a video that doesn't play for you with them sent to true?
I already did. It works for you, but not for me, and I wonder why.
I was talking about a real video. Not a CD with a static picture. I find those to be different.
FWIW, I'm not sure of the value of setting media.mediasource.webm.enabled to true since I've not encountered any Matroska formatted videos.
As already written: *not a single* HD video on Youtube offers me to go above 480p when these two options default to "false".
What am I missing?
Don't know what would make my system work and yours not unless you have an extension or plugin installed which is getting in the way.
