Linux(Debian) Youtube higher resolution issue
-
Hello, Linux pro's.
I'm using pop!_os 22.04 LTS (ubuntu fork/debian)
Vivaldi ver. is 6.2.3105.58 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)
I'm able to watch FullHD, 2k, 4k for some videos. However, youtube is forcing me to watch free movies only at 480p. My Galaxy S21FE shows me 1080p is existing for this movie.
Already tried to update:
libavcodec-extra
and
ffmpeg
and
Checked Widevine Plugin
Tried to use external player as VLC.
I'm looking for something that is showing to youtube a flag about capability for this device to process FullHD for this content. It looks like it is a glitch with a compatibility.
Maybe there is an easy fix for this issue? -

It looks like a "solution" in that case: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3306741?hl=en
That's why you need to use any "compatible device" such as: Most HD capable Android devices -

Hi, I cant load this video in Germany, is this legal in the EU?
I can load 4K videos in Vivaldi but I use it mostly for testing.
Some UHD videos are even work only in Edge on Windows, I cant watch UHD from Netflix in any Linux browser only on Windows Edge and Chrome.
They pay Netflix for this.
Any other links you can share?Cheers, mib

I'm trying to watch this in the US. So, I've found this on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/pkqd5y/is_there_a_way_to_watch_youtube_movies_in_hd_on_pc/
The same thing in this case. You need to use a "compatible device". Which is not a Linux computer, for example.
However, I guess there is should be solution for this issue. I've found FreeTube app for Linux. It doesn't work.@mib3berlin said in Linux(Debian) Youtube higher resolution issue:

Hi, I am sorry but I cant use my VPN on Linux and I need a location in the US, testing this on Windows make not much sense.
I hope other user can help here.Cheers, mib
