Dear Alex,

i npticed that your AddOn doesn‘t work anymore.

Youtube deploys any videos as AVC1, it doesn‘t matter if I enable „block AV1“ or not.

A few weeks ago it deployed the vid as h264 and my laptop was running cool and smooth.

Please fix this and thank you for your awesome work!

Kind regards,

K.

Hello Krawei,
The extension seems to work fine for me. As I understood from your post you've confused AVC1 with AV1.
In "Stats for nerds" av1 is shown as "av01" and h264 is shown as "avc1" and vp9 is shown as "vp09" or "vp9". AVC stands for Advanced Video Coding.
So it's all should be fine. One symbol difference, but it's significant.

My stats are showing AVC but my chromebook is heating up like it used to when it's not running h264. Something wonky going on after this last ChromeOS update.

I don't think that's related to this extension, agentbad. Probably more an issue in ChromeOS / Chrome itself. :)

Check if avc1/h264 is hardware accelerated in your browser.

Is this fork still a thing in current Firefox-versions <v110? Or should I use the "original add-on" instead? How can I verify in current Firefox-Builds that the plugin is working correctly? There's no "media" section in the developer debugging section in Firefox.
