Hello,

I try to play videos from YouTube.com, but it's showing me everytime that 'An error occurred. Please try aga...'

If I play the HTML5 video from here: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp it's working, and I'm able to screenshot the video content, which is unlikely. -> I was never been able to screenshot a YouTube video neither in YouTube.com or in the offical YouTube app by Google Inc.

It works on Google Chrome Browser (YouTube.com, but I don't like to have another browser installed. I just want to have Firefox installed.

There is no video on YouTube.com which is being played. All are shown as 'An error occurred...'

I added screenshots. -> keeps loading, I'll try it from the default Android Browser which too plays no videos.

Hello,

now I was able to add the needed screenshots. ;)

The source from the shown YouTube.com video (2., 3., 4. And 5. screenshot): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eKFTSSKCzWA

I can't change the quality, maybe it's the problem? My network is fast enough, cause Chrome plays then, but I need Firefox.

I requested the desktop site still the same, advertising is always skipped right to the problem message.

Thank for help in advance.

Regards
