What is required in order to view YouTube HTML5 in TorBrowser?

I run a tight ship with my settings in TorBrowser and plugins.

The other day I tried to remove security settings one by one in the browser and
in NoScript. Eventually, in order for a video to play on YouTube (HTML5) (I usually only see a black unresponsive box with my settings) I had to ENABLE SCRIPTING in NoScript and then the videos played fine. I'm not comfortable with this. I would like to drop as little "shields" as possible in order to watch YouTube videos.(1)

Are there any specific recommendations without having to enable any javascript(ing)?

(1) Yes, I know about youtube-dl and it works and is nice but it's a PITA to use when you want to browse quickly from video to video
