Just today i noticed that some of the Youtube videos are limited to 360p, and a new option appeared: “Missing options?”.
Clicking on that goes to a new page, where it tells me that they are only support Chrome, Firefox, MS Edge and Safari.
I tried to watch a video uploaded from a user today, a second part of a playthrough. Strange is, that the first part, which is similarly 3 hrs long, have the 1440p option.
Can you please tell me what OS you’re using when you see this as well as what Browser version you’re using?
Can you please share an exact URL of one of the videos you’re seeing this on?
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Browser version: 1.76.74 Chromium: 134.0.6998.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Youtube video where i experienced this:
@Rolnaashch yeah so this does appear to be specific to certain videos although I’m unclear as to why. On my end, for the video you shared I only see the 360p version in Brave, Firefox and Chrome. So it’s not specific to Brave or any one browser either.
Again, not entirely clear as to why this is the case but it does seem to be specific to that video. I went ahead and clicked on another video from that same Creator in the sidebar and see all quality options displayed normally:
Yes, it is very strange, i never met such an issue before, only today!
When i click on the “Missing Options?” the attached screenshot of youtube info get me:
So maybe they updated something recently, and it went sideways for some reason. We will see what will happen in the next days… glad that Twitch not have this issue… yet.
But thank you for taking the time and looked into it!
Many thanks!!!
I’ve checked the same video today again, and now it is working normally. So that information window did not mean anything, sort of misinformation. I suspect that at upload happened something, or i don’t know what caused that issue.
Again, i thank you for your help!
were you logged in when the issue occured?
I am always logged in, if you mean on Youtube.
Also apparently i am ‘silly’ (i wanted to write a much worse word), i just noticed the little notice at the end of my screenshot:
So i must have caught the video on absolute fresh upload time.
