Video resolutions above 1080p are not available on YouTube on Orion

FunSai The issue persists on Safari as well btw. The nuisance of it is that while pasting the text somewhere I'll need to press backspace a couple of times to get rid of the extra line breaks. Not sure if I should report a bug for this?

Since it's also present on Safari, you should report it to https://bugs.webkit.org. If you have further questions, feel free to ping me in Kagi discord but let's not derail this thread 🙂

Now that Orion 0.99.135 is out, could you check if this issue has been solved for you? 🙂

laiz Sadly, after update my orion crashed and did not wanted to prompt for update again, after reinstall and re-update orion issue is still here. 🙁

Still no HDR and resolutions above 1080p 60FPS, youtube still falls back to avc1, also tried on private tab so youtube did not have previously stored cookies.

EDIT: In safari im able to play 4K HDR

blahblahblah

laiz yep! for me I had to change a setting on youtube, it was weird to find

Esfirror

On YouTube, the maximum quality for videos is substantially lower than what it is supposed to be. I've attached some comparison images below of the same video playing on two different browsers. (Yes, i have tried different user agents and compatibility mode)

(First image Firefox, second Orion RC)

It's just supposed to show the correct max video quality

0.99.134.1-rc

Hey! Please update to the latest RC build (Version 0.99.135.0.1-rc (WebKit 622.1.15.19.2)). That should contain a fix for this issue.

Found the fix, it wasn't the update, but switching to the Safari user agent for whatever reason. Thanks for the help, though!

Still doesn't work for me I tried switching to Safari, Chrome and Edge user agents with no success, Orion even after update fall backs to avc1 on Youtube on my Macbook Air M2.

I don't really know whan else can I do to make YT use VP9, didn't have this issues with previous browsers.

To confirm, is this on Version 0.99.135.0.1-beta (WebKit 622.1.15.19.2)?
What version of macOS are you using?
