Hmmm... Let's see.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1047159

Do you have a media.peerconnection.video.h264 knob?
I don't, but I do see media.peerconnection.video.h264_enabled
mine defaults to false. Perhaps try toggling it and
restart SM?

I have media.peerconnection.enabled to false though.

Hmmm, media.peerconnection screams "WebRTC".

I'm wondering, like you, if the Cisco plug-in is used
at all outside WebRTC...

This seems to imply the plug-in is useful for Youtube:

Does SeaMonkey also use this code to download OpenH264 and get H.264 
support that way? Is this something that is planned? Is there a reason 
SeaMonkey cant do what FireFox does?


Is the Firefox OpenH264 support even used for HTML5 video or is it only

My SeaMonkey 2.48 on Linux does not have the OpenH264 Video Codec Plugin 
installed. My Firefox does.

SeaMonkey and OpenH264

2017-08-26 Thread Jonathan Wilson 
Some time ago Cisco released a H.264 implementation called OpenH264 in 
source and binary form for download from a Cisco server. As part of this 
Cisco pays full H.264 patent royalties for this plugin. Firefox contains 
something to download OpenH264 from the Cisco server (meaning Firefox can 
then have H.264 support without any patent issues)


Does SeaMonkey also use this code to download OpenH264 and get H.264 
support that way? Is this something that is planned? Is there a reason 
SeaMonkey cant do what FireFox does?


Is the Firefox OpenH264 support even used for HTML5 video or is it only 
being used for WebRTC and online video chat things?
