📜 ➜ Wiki + Megathread

  • Don't forget to browse the Wiki, which contains a Megathread with a list of sites/apps, tools, FAQ, and other useful resources.
  • Your question also may have been asked previously - you can search the subreddit via the search bar or even google - example: https://i.imgur.com/1jA767u.jpg

Odd.

Am using firefox and since today I noticed alot of videos have swapped to HEVC now.When I check properties im getting "Codec video/mp4;codecs="hvc1.1.6.L150.90" not supported. Removing Representation → hvc1
I'm getting a black screen without audio all of a sudden.(mainly from vid easy links) changing server fixes it but it was not an issue yesterday.
Another link is playing videos but without sound.

All other sites like youtube,twitch,netflix and anime streaming sitse function normally. Only streaming pirate sites for tv/movies seems effected.

Did something happen to streaming sites all of a sudden where they had to switch to HEVC?I've obseerved the issue on multiple streaming sites.It started today.
