Output recording plays locally but not in Firefox

buttke opened this issue a year ago · comments

Hi, when I produce a recording with wf-recorder, the video plays just fine locally with mpv. When I upload that video to, say, Discord, and try to play it in the browser, a preview appears with the correct length and a thumbnail, but playing the video does not work.

This issue occurs in Firefox but not Chromium.

The -t flag solves this. #152 (comment)

With latest wf-recorder 0e7b2e2, do videos work in firefox/discord/messenger work with wf-recorder -x yuv420p? The default is yuv444p which I think may be the core problem.
