ViewTube in Midori

I've got a new laptop, installed KDE (admittedly not by installing Triskel, but by installing the packages I want 1-by-1), and tried to play YouTube videos without Abrowser, but with Midori instead. Does anybody know how to watch YouTube videos, with Viewtube, in Midori?

The VLC plug-in simply won't start for me
The Totem plug-in seems to only work in Abrowser
I don't know how to make ViewTube use gecko-mediaplayer or Dragon Player.

You have to enable the script option from plugins .

"You have to enable the script option from plugins ."

Thanks, but would you please explain a bit more as I can't quite understand your answer (If you meant enabling the script then yes, it's enabled, it just won't work with the players).

Edit->Preference->Extensions->
Check: Users Addons

Go to : https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/87011
and install it.
Restart Midori

That part actually works, what doesn't work is once I click play - it won't play.

When I use Totem-mozilla , it complains that it's not allowed to play the media. It also does that when I copy and paste the link of the site into a Totem window. However, it works perfectly in Abrowser

Right now is not working on youtube for me also, but is working on vimeo and dailymotion. I think the plugin has not yet been updated for youtube.

Actually, from the looks of it,everything works with Abrowser, yet nothing does with Midori....

Have you tried choosing "HTML5" from the players list, instead of "Auto"? I don't have the version of Midori in the Trisquel repo, so I can't comfirm it, but I think HTML5 video is supported.

Also, you might want to disable the Netscape plugins in Midori (that's the Totem plugins, Gnash, and all of that kind of stuff). You probably don't really need them, anyway.

I tried the one from the PPA (should've said that!) and the HTML5 thing didn't work on YouTube (worked on a test site pointed to by (I think) Midori's FAQ).

Anyway, I then installed Iceweasel and the problem I had with Abrowser looking awful in KDE (which played a part in me avoiding it) was gone (Based on the bug report filed against that I reckon the Ubuntu guys simply left Debian's Iceweasel entry in the XUL apps line thingie).
