First off, apologies - I don't know if this is a YouTube problem, a Steam Deck problem or a Firefox problem. I haven't been able to figure out the cause of this problem for months so I'm trying you guys because you're more responsive than YouTube has been so I'm really hoping it's a Firefox problem.

Basically since early June I've been getting "an error occurred" errors for YouTube videos of approximately an hour. Longer videos and shorter videos tend to play fine, but I get the issue with videos under ten minutes sometimes as well.

This only occurs in Firefox on my Steam Deck (SteamOS). Other browsers and other devices are fine.

I have cleared my cache, cleared cookies, disabled extensions and logged in and out of YouTube to no avail. The problem still occurs in troubleshoot mode and updating Firefox hasn't fixed it.

Would appreciate any troubleshooting tips and again, apologies if this ends up not being a Firefox problem, I just don't know what else to try at this point.

Hello James! Apologies, but I wasted your time - I thought I HAD updated Firefox but it turned out that the update hadn't taken, and when I tired again it threw an error. I updated it via the console, which took, and now the problem is gone. But thank you for taking the time to reply to me!

Normally on a new Linux distro install one essential package is not installed and that is FFmpeg. This allows you to full use HTML5 players for video, audio and games including on Youtube. The ffmpeg can be installed by way of Pacman though I do no have a steamdeck or similar device to have this experience.

If you are not able to watch live streams or recently uploaded videos on youtube then this may be why.
