For Firefox:
1. Go to https://youtube.com/html5
- If you have all the boxes in blue, you have the functions active, you don' t need to do anything, else follow the steps below.
2. Open about:config in Firefox
3. Change the value from false to true for:
- media.mediasource.enabled
- media.mediasource.webm.enabled
4. Create media.mediasource.ignore_codecs value: Right-click -> New -> New Boolean value -> media.mediasource.ignore_codecs -> save the value and select true.
5. Change the value from false to true for:
- media.fragmented-mp4.exposed
- media.fragmented-mp4.ffmpeg.enabled
- media.fragmented-mp4.gmp.enabled

For Opera (chromium based):
Download chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra: http://pkgs.org/search/?query=chromium- ... mpeg-extra
Replace libffmpeg.so.33 (33 is an example, find this file in opera/lib dir) with libffmpeg.so from downloaded package and rename it like removed one (here: libffmpeg.so.33)
Sometimes it may not work - "renderer crashes when trying to play .H264 video. We are working to fix it as soon as possible."
