I found a site: ! (yes I am using Safari 8, I did a clean install of Yo, so, there it is.) Which Mac model do you have? If you can do it on your Mac, then I don't need to contact google or netflix, I need to get Safari to tell the server to pull the HTML5 video. If you find a site that seems to demand Flash Player, post its URL and I'll let you know what happens." So do all other videos I have come across on various websites.
"I don't have Adobe Flash installed, and YouTube videos play just fine in Safari 8. but trying to get someone from apple to read this.īy the way Apple doesn't participate here, other than in a very limited manner. Download the uninstaller directly from Adobe's website. Try uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, using Adobe's uninstaller utility. That will essentially duplicate what I'm observing. Eradicate all the bits with which Google litters your Mac (good luck with that) then try loading a YouTube video. Perhaps your account's YouTube preferences needs a setting altered to force it to use HTML5? Try logging out of Google completely. I have no Google account, plus or otherwise. If you find a site that seems to demand Flash Player, post its URL and I'll let you know what happens.ĭon't tell me to get Chrome, I despise google, they MADE me a google plus account just to sign in and manage my youtube playlists. I don't have Adobe Flash installed, and YouTube videos play just fine in Safari 8. I don't use this support site, much, but trying to get someone from apple to read this. Now they have another count for their social network, which I do not use at all.)

If I can play non-flash YouTube videos, and don't need Silverlight for Netflix on my iOS device, then I absolutely demand I be able to do the same on my Mac!! Even my 4-year old Mac has a more powerful processor than the iOS devices that can play 1080p video!!!Īnyone know what settings I need to adjust? Is there something I'm missing in Safari, because I should be able to force the HTML5 video by now.
I haven't gone into vimeo or other things yet, but, this just doesn't make sense. I did a clean install of Yosemite on my mid-2010 MBP 13, and one of the supposed things that was supposed to come of Yosemite (and Safari) was HTML5 video playback.ġ) I have "prefer HTML5 playback" set w/Netflix, but, it still demands me to download Silverlight.ġ) I cannot find a way to play HTML5 YouTube videos, so, I had to get Flash ?
