[solved] dwb browser doesnt play youtube video anymore

hello,

dwb ist just awesome, but since a few days, i cant play youtube videos anymore. i can start them, i can hear the sound, i can move my mouse to the time strip to see the picture at that point of time, but i dont get a video. the video screen is simply black. i dont have this problem with my other webkit browsers like luakit or uzbl.

any ideas?

greets lizzy

youtube has moved to 60 fps hd videos and it seems to be making problems for some people, try disabling hardware acceleration if you have it enabled, otherwise I don't what else it might be

Hello,

could someone that uses the dwb or luakit browser send me his useragent string entry? i still have some problems on some specific sites with mine! (i recognized, that youtube works when i change the useragent, but then i have problems on other sites)

thanks in advance, would be so helpful!
