Flash video replacer is working at all?
Hi there,
I am wondering if someone had some more luck than me with the Flash video replacer who comes wit the web browser.
I tried different sites from youtube, vimeo and othe minor websites but there's no way to see a flash animation o video.
I am the only one having this problem?
Is there a way to fix this?
Instead of youtube i have added and installed the ppa from Minitube, that one doesnt use flash, not 100% sure about licensing and such on that but feel free to check it out.
Minitube is in Trisquel's repositories. It is Free software.
That said, almost all YouTube's videos are available in the WebM format that can be read from IceCat 5 (in Trisquel's repositories too). It is only a matter of appending &html5=1 at the end of the URL.
Oh it is =) i feel ashamed i didnt search the repo first.
I would uninstall the flash video replacer from the repos and install it from the website. That way you make sure to get the most up to date version.
Couldn't play youtube here so I have done as SirGrant suggested and videos from youtube are now working.
They are also working far better then they have in any other distro I have installed. Full screen gives me no lag and excellent playback. Impressed!
