Add option to Block "AV1" video

Open roman90sv opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

user_pref("media.av1.enabled", false);

  1. When vp9 is blocked, youtube plays "AV1" video stream, which is not available in all resolutions: sdsdd (Firefox 68, windows)

  2. AV1 takes more than twice the amount CPU power to play than VP9.

  3. There is not any AV1 hardware acceleration yet on desktop GPU or snapdragon SOC.

Hi, thanks for brining this up. I've updated the extension to block av1. In the future, I may add an option to enable/disable certain codecs.

Note: This repo is inactive and any new features will go in the main h264ify repo: https://github.com/erkserkserks/h264ify
