Youtube Html5 and beep sound
Ok I was wandering what would happen if I would have full html5 features on youtube So I searched on internet and found out how to enable the features so I ended up enabling this on firefox
media.mediasource.enabled;true media.mediasource.mp4.enabled;true media.fragmented-mp4.exposed;true media.fragmented-mp4.use-blank-decoder;true
After I enabled this features I got the ability to watch 1080P videos and even 60 fps versions were available but the sound did not work anymore. Instead of the original video audio I was getting one long tone sound.
So is there a way to fix this issue or I should create a bug report?
Thank you for your time

Those prefs are disabled for a reason. MSE works on Windows and Mac, but not on Linux.

I think I got a fix for you!
After I updated my OS to Windows 10, and did these changes in about:config to get 1080p, some of the videos were making this sound, and some videos even had a completely green screen.
I did some digging and I found out that it was "media.fragmented-mp4.exposed" that was causing this problem.
So all I had to do was to turn everything to "true", and leaving "media.fragmented-mp4.exposed" on "false".
I was then able to view 1080p videos without any problems.
I hope this helps :)

I have been getting a blank green screen and a long annoying BEEEEEEEEP on any JW Player video. I can't believe it! I've been trying to figure out a fix for this for over a MONTH. Thank you. Your fix worked. I am using Linux, btw, and it works fine now, FINALLY, with "media.fragmented-mp4.exposed" on "false".
