Does anyone know of a way to get Librewolf to support 1440p stream quality on twitch.tv? Some streamers that I watch recently started streaming in 1440p but the quality doesn’t show up for me. Perhaps the codec isn’t supported? I’ve seen some people recommend following the instructions here for Firefox https://pastebin.com/cBD4nBPa but I’m on Mac (and on firefox it shows the 1440p option without doing anything special).
I’ve just discovered https://www.gumlet.com/tool/browser-capabilities-checker/ and it shows that both HEVC codecs are not supported by my instance of LibreWolf
I think HEVC is not supported by any version of firefox, because that codec has a garbage license and firefox can’t afford it
Hardware-accelerated playback of HEVC video content is now supported on Windows.
Hardware-accelerated playback of HEVC video content is now supported on macOS.
137.0a1 Firefox nightly
Warning: Features listed here may or may not make a final release of Firefox.

oh, something has changed! that’s interesting.
