[...] HTML5 Switch. I made quite a few additions to the previous version (for which I already made a post) and changes to it and it’s on its way to become a fully reviewed add-on for [...]

Not all videos on YouTube have been converted to WebM. I haven’t really made any research on this matter but this is what makes what you proposed difficult to be done. I thought about it too.

This Add-on is my first attempt to write something with the Add-on SDK, so I wanted something easy! It can’t get any easier than that haha

It’s funny that you say that that video doesn’t support HTML5… yet there it is, in HTML5.

This is because all Youtube videos DO have HTML5+webm, it’s only in the embedded version.

I’m not sure if it’d be possible, because I’m not much of a programmer, but couldn’t you potentially write a userscript or add-on that does some sort of re-embed of the embedded player, onto the youtube page?

I totally agree…It’s much more effective and you don’t have to rebuild anything etc. What I posted is for those who are not sure if their model is going to be ok after patching their BIOS.

I’ve done it twice with no problems, though it does seem to vary depending on your precise model. The advantage of the BIOS hack method is you don’t have to rebuild the kernel module every damn time you update the kernel…(also it works with all OSes).

It’s not a side effect of graphics card hacking, it’s just true – for me anyway – that since kernel 3.2, sound through the internal speakers doesn’t work any more (it worked fine up to 3.1). But I finally got around to getting the ALSA guys to fix it; I have a patch to test today, if it works it’ll go in for future kernel releases.

No, I had no side effects…but I think I read something about it when I was googling around. No idea why.

Yes Adam, thanks for mentioning it! I should have probably mentioned it myself, but there is a huge warning that it’s “highly experimental” and this laptop costs a lot of money to make experiments with it. Blocking the card with a module on the kernel and changing grub is harmless in front of that. But, if someone want’s to go with it…

BTW, if you’ve noticed that the sound doesn’t work through the internal speakers in F17, look out for a fix coming up soon…

There’s an alternative route, which is to hack the BIOS to expose the option to use either graphics card alone. See http://forum.notebookreview.com/sony/473226-insyde-hacking-new-vaio-z-advanced-menu-bios.html .
