youtube videos do not load on qutebrowser

bataar · 2019-02-19 00:16:17

Hello, since last week (after an update, I think) qutebrowser does not load any youtube videos. Netflix, Vimeo and Dailymotion, though, all work fine. When I launch it from the terminal, there are some UPower missing functions errors that I don't know if they were there before, but I installed UPower and nothing changed, except there is no more complaining from the terminal. Also, when I click on a video, the ad-blocked banner of youtube vanishes and the video doesn't open at all, so I have to right-click and select "open in a new tab" to open it. The video just remains with that circling loading thing, not even the video ads run, although after their running time, they seem to end so the main video may run, even though they don't. The thumbnails run the video preview when roved and the video bar has previews when I place the mouse somewhere in it, that, if clicked, still stays there loading forever but in another timestamp. That's what I can describe. Every other site I use remains unchanged, so I have no idea of what could be wrong with youtube. Also youtube works fine on Firefox and Chromium, and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling qutebrowser and its dependencies.
Thanks in advance.

gst-plugins-good: media playback with qt5-webkit backend

See if installing that helps.

Thank you, but it didn't. I also tried installing the bad and ungly versions too, and nothing changed.
