Okay, but:

Works fine with the version I had installed, 2025.02.19.

I don't know if this perhaps affects web browsers playing on non-HDCP displays.

I don't understand how you took the time to test that, but didn't take the time to RTFA:

> We are getting reports of YouTube rolling out an experiment to some accounts where normal videos only have DRM formats available on the tv (TVHTML5) Innertube client.

Honestly this is hard to parse

What is a Innertube client? What is a TV format?

Innertube is youtube's internal name for some of their libraries

Innertube is Youtube's private API.

`TV` is a player client. The player clients emulate client applications and provide different video/subtitle formats.

I don't understand how you RTFA.

It doesn't... yet. They're playing the long game, the DRM noose tightens slowly.

Probably still in A/B testing.

It’s an A/B test and you’re in the control group
