Message   Paul Quinn    Ed Vance   Watching VIMEO Videos   August 24, 2017

Hi! Ed,

In a message to All you wrote:

I get that sometimes with another VirtualBox PC running an old FF.  I think
it's a mismatch with their presentation, between html5/flash capabilities of
FF.  No great dramas...

My vBox is an old Puppy Linux running an old FF, with 512Mb.  :)

Well done you, Ed.  :)

I generally copy the video title (highlight + [Ctrl]-C) and go to something I
know will work, e.g. EwwToob (YT) and paste that title in the search box.  Even
 if that exact video isn't posted there as well, it will find close matches for
 you.  Oh, and I rarely sit there & watch videos on-line (unless they're only
about 1-2 mins); I usually dowmload them, copy 'em to a USB and then watch 'em
later on my HD TV.

OTOH, if I don't get anything remotely close (on YT) then the video probably
wasn't worth watching in the first place.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
