Xlucine Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 To satisfy nerds with fibre broadband, youtube has introduced 60fps playback on some videos - if you upload a video at more than 60fps, and if the youtube gods smile upon you, then viewers can see it in 60fps! The playback quality menu looks like this: There's only one small issue - google being google, they've forgotten that not everyone is a nerd with fibre broadband. So if you can only stream 720p30 fine (so no 720p60), and your screen is too big for 480p to not look like a blocky mess, then you may as well not watch the video. This is an excellent upgrade!

Meplat Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 There is an add-on for Firefox that will let you view 1080, at a "normal" framerate. The one I use is "youtube flash video player", I'm sure there are others.. IIRC the videos will also work with Chrome, but I've been using FF for a long time now.. Not going to change because of youtube vids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostCosmonaut Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm more pumped for 144p. Now I can watch Russian dashcam vids on my Ti-89. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
