This is Firefox 52.0.2 32 bit ESR, Solaris 10U13 Sparc, on a 2.75 GHz. quad core Sparc VII Sun M3000 from a Sun Ray 3 thin client.
ffmpeg, libx264 and libx265 have all been installed from https://www.opencsw.org/get-it/packages/. Flash 11.2 r202 is also installed.
A look at https://www.youtube.com/html5 shows all six boxes under "What does this browser support?" are checked. The box "The HTML5 player is currently used when possible" is also checked.
I can get H264 and AVC1 videos to play but they're all missing the green channel, ie. they come out rendered only in shades of red and blue. This isn't specific to any particular site (like Youtube), it's all videos.
I saw one suggestion to set media.windows-media-foundation.use-nv12-format to false but that didn't fix it. There are lots of posts about things like washed out colors but this isn't like that. It's no green at all.
I don't think this is a libx264 issue because if I download an H264 video and then play it using mplayer, the colors all look fine. It's only when playing video in Firefox that there's no green. Other imaging programs that render color (like Gimp or Inkscape) work fine.
Any ideas?
