Hello

I installed today for the first the the latest OBS. Version 20.0.1.

I use Windows 7 64bit.

After the installation I recognized that YouTube videos on my Firefox 55.0.3 only shows a green screen. Sound is fine. I didn't change any settings on OBS.

Other browsers like Internet Explorer or Firefox Portable are not affected. I uninstalled OBS, but the issue was still present. Finally I set my Win7 back to an earlier restore point. Youtube worked again properly.

I installed OBS again, and the same issue appeared.

I use HTML5 for youtube videos. Other video platforms like Vimeo work fine. As well video players like VLC.

Someone know a fix to resolve this problem? Might it be a problem with the OBS browser plugin? I searched the plugin in firefox to diable it, but couldn't find anything.

Every help is much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

OBS' browser plugin isn't a plugin for other browsers. It's a plugin for OBS that embeds a browser IN OBS. That plugin is based on chrome's engine and does not have any influence on other browsers on your system.

Double-check your video card drivers.

Thank you. My nVidia GT540M is up to date. As I said, the issue appears only on the Firefox browser. Kinda strange.
