> MPEG-DASH Adaptive Streaming with AV1 by Mozilla and Bitmovin > Content encoded in AV1 by Bitmovin Encoding and played back with Bitmovin Player (7.3.0-b7) in Firefox (61.0) … if I start in safe mode, load _and then_ reload the page, there's this, in the black box:
> This browser does not seem to support (this version of) AV1,
> please use Firefox Nightly.
>
> Already on Firefoy Nightly? Please enable the
> media.av1.enabled flag in your Firefox settings at about:config.
Some features are disabled by default unless you're building Nightly. AV1 is one of those, see https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/4074ba403219/toolkit/moz.configure#396-397 Try adding MOZ_OPTIONS+=--enable-av1 to Makefile.local under www/firefox, www/firefox-esr, www/waterfox, etc. I'm surprised Firefox is able to play any public AV1 video given its bundled libaom copy is from before bitstream format has been finalized. Thanks. Firefox 61.0_3,1: success. Waterfox 56.2.1.48_1: fail (I didn't expect it to work, the media.av1.enabled boolean does not exist). (In reply to Jan Beich from comment #3) > I'm surprised Firefox is able to play any public AV1 video given its > bundled libaom copy is from before bitstream format has been > finalized. Turns out Mozilla is as guilty as Google in (ab)using *draft* standards in order to promote their browser. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1479304 Thanks <https://people.xiph.org/~tdaede/av1/akiyo_cif_short.webm> is more explicit (with Firefox 61.0.2,1), > No video with supported format and MIME type found. Firefox 63 enabled AV1 build by default but upstream is still yet to flip the pref. Obviously, AV1 on FreeBSD is not gonna benefit from sandboxing due to lack of Capsicum integration. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1478005 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1452146 Bitmovin demo was also updated to work with Firefox >= 63. |
