much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Holy… why the fuck would this be disabled? And why the fuck didn't I find this information in the first place?!
To all wondering: change
media.wmf.hevc.enabled
To 1 in about:config, restart browser, done.
Thanks, mate
The reason is software patents and asinine licensing for HEVC. Thank the greedy fucks in suits for that.
So it can be implemented but not enabled? Weird shit, man
AFAIK, this is a Windows-specific option which requires the user to have purchased a license for the Windows HEVC decoder on the windows store.
Could be that Firefox downloads the codec after you enable that. At least, I've heard of it being implemented like that in other software...
Sounds like you had an XY problem
Well, I thought I had ruled out X as solution, so I didn't ask about it in the first place
That's nice. Thanks for the link
Story of my life. Fortunately, now that I'm older, I often catch myself and provide the context. But not always.
