This macro toggles off the pref media.windows-media-foundation.enabled so that the flash player will be the default player instead of the HTML5 Player.

I used macro by JamesD http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/file.php?9,file=822,filename=xpinstallext.kmm from

Re: Macro To Turn on and Off Firefox Extension Insttall http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?9,128836,129054#msg-129054

except that i removed the extra setmenu( from line below

_xpinstallext_BuildMenu {
setmenu(setmenu("&Edit", macro, _("Set FireFox extension install"), _xpinstallext_toggle, -1);
}

My macro It does not disable HTML5 Video it forces "Windows Media Player" Files to play using the Flash Player instead of the HTML5 Player

I updated WindowsMediaFoundation.kmm to test for Version of the Firefox (Gecko) Engine.

Now it can toggle Windows Media Prefs in K-Meleon 74.0, 75.0, 75.1, 76.0, and beyond.

tests if we are using Firefox 44.0 and above.

I added this line so when Dorian updates K-Meleon engine beyond beyond 38.x ESR
so the macro would work when that change is made.

This change was needed becuase "media.wmf.enabled" replaced "media.windows-media-foundation.enabled" in Firefox 44.0.

Also, "media.windows-media-foundation.play-stand-alone" and "media.windows-media-foundation.use-dxva" were removed in Firefox 44.0

Hi George,

Do you know if this solves the problem using Twitter and other sites' video playback in Windows XP or earlier?

Thanks,
Thomas

Hi! Good job! But you should make these prefs to false for full blocking of HTML5:

user_pref("media.autoplay.enabled";false);
user_pref("media.fragmented-mp4.enabled";false);
user_pref("media.ogg.enabled";false);
user_pref("media.wave.enabled";false);
user_pref("media.webm.enabled";false);
user_pref("media.windows-media-foundation.enabled";false);

user_pref("media.webm.enabled";false);
user_pref("media.windows-media-foundation.enabled";false);

I did not block all of HTML5 on purpose becuase videos sites wont work with the flash player. This just allows the ones that do to use the flash player as default.

If i wanted to block HTML5 entirely i would call HTML5 On/Off or something.

I added "media.fragmented-mp4.enabled"

I updated the macro for K-Meleon 75.0 and 75.1 which use Gecko 31 ESR with "media.fragmented-mp4.enabled" without "media.fragmented-mp4.exposed" because "media.fragmented-mp4.exposed" is disabled by default.

While K-Meleon 76 with uses Gecko 38 ESR, both "media.fragmented-mp4.enabled"
and "media.fragmented-mp4.exposed" are enabled by default.
