I am fed up with YouTube!

A few days ago, YouTube underwent a redesign of the main video page. This change gave the page a cleaner interface and minimized some undesirable elements of user rambling, and I believe these are good things. But now BOTH Gnash and the Greasemonkey fallback fail to play the videos at all. Our community is set back even further by Google's gross disregard of it. I urge all of you to steer clear of YouTube upload all your favorite videos to DailyMotion instead. This problem is clearly getting worse all the time, and I'm not even willing to give YouTube the benefit of my doubt anymore.
Also, see this recent post at their blog: tp://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2010/04/al-gore-you-earth-days-40th-celebration.html
Google uses their tremendous leverage to advertise a man that obfuscates and cherry-picks scientific information to fabricate an inevitable disaster scenario that calls for the implementation of a rampantly statist agenda, all to gain notoriety for himself. It reminds of, well, what governments do.

Some videos still work with Sfwdec, you may give a try to it -same situation as already some time ago, some videos work but not all. As for Greasemonkey, it seems it does not work at all now (I was already experiencing problems with it some time ago, anyway). You may try tinyogg and see how it goes.
May be wish for an addon which on-the-fly convert flv/mp4 videos to ogg in
browser. Firefox can run/display ogg videos. Currently I have to download
them manually using download helper extension and then i use OggConvert to
convert it into ogg video. Then I watch it.

I started to use DailyMotion a while ago but they allow publishing
bullfighting videos.

I see nothing wrong about that -despite I truly *hate* bullfighting-.
The less censorship the better.

But that goes against their own terms of use. That's animal cruelty.

Fair enough, but you do believe that climate change is occuring right? I mean, the weather we are getting in Canada is extremely unseasonal and erratic.

This conversation already has nothing to do with Trisquel, but no, I don't believe human activity is making the Earth's climate unstable. "Climate change" (formerly global warming, before it became apparent that incontrovertible evidence for the warming of Earth's surface does NOT exist) is a scapegoat for endless and pointless taxation and regulation of our lives by international bureaucracies like the EU and UN. There are important environmental issues, like extinction of species, deforestation, pollution, overfishing, strip mining, etc. that humans certainly are responsible for.

It is not rocket-science to work out whether global mean temperatures
are raising. You simply place monitoring stations around the globe,
record and then graph the temperatures. Global mean temperatures are
raising. This does not require for temperatures everywhere to be
raising.
You then start criticising measures taken by governments based upon your
flawed premises.
As Feynman said, reality must take precedence over public relations, for
nature cannot be fooled.... Look at the data and the work done by actual
scientists.

I know of no truly compelling evidence of a catastrophic global overheating scenario that calls for drastic, centrally planned action. And I am familiar with the arguments of both sides.
Before this thread takes a turn for the worse and becomes the list's first true flame war, I will depart from it. No more posting on this thread from me, folks. One correction to the above, though: I do not pretend to premise my criticisms of government measures on empirical data, but on humane values, and I do not apologize for that.
Yes lets get back on-topic; I'll start- I'm also fed up with YouTube! Hope we have a free software alternative as suggested by Freemind in this thread: http://trisquel.info/en/forum/you-tube-made-easy
At this moment no video can be played with free software on YouTube.
With or without greasemonkey scripts it gives the same message (Old Flash? Go upgrade!) and linking to Adobe's site.
This is probably the last drop for me but I want to see if any of you know a solution for this.

Someone posted this script in a forum, hope that helps, it outputs the
video url, all you have to do is to download it
Sorry for my english
Yes! just found another workaround, works with the script YouTube without Flash: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/50771 When the video loads,and the "Go Upgrade" message appears, just click the link marked "View Flash" underneath the video on the right, and the video will play. Result!
P.S. Sorry, just realised this only works with some videos. I'm disappointed YouTube seem to be deliberately blocking other video players from working. They probably have some financial incentive from Adobe.
