Youtube, Dailymotion video playback Firefox problem

Question

product: GK208M [GeForce GT 730M] vendor: NVIDIA Corporation, Nvidia driver metapackage from nvidia-driver-470, Ubuntu 22.10, Kubuntu

I've installed the codecs from "sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras"

And I've changed the Firefox setting “gfx.webrender.all” to true

I used to get errors playing Youtube/Dailymotion video all the time before doing the above changes, now playback is a bit better now and only get the odd but predictable error. The other problem is where I try to rewind the back to a previous time, the video freezes but I can still hear the audio playing in real time. And only way to fix this is to pause the video for about 6 seconds and only then will it plays normally again.

Thanks

any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I just found out the problem! So I just needed to make an exception for cookies for Youtube in Firefox. Interesting I had to do that for Linux but not Windows.
