I've done that. Doesn't work for most of the Youtube videos I want to view.
BTW why the downvoting? I'm simply stating the facts here: most Youtube and Flash videos can't be viewed on Linux, period. It's been true for several years now and sucks bananas.
If you've got a Linux distribution that allows display of more than 80% of Youtube and Flash videos then please tell me what it is. Otherwise don't be buttsore and downvote me simply because I'm stating an unpleasant truth.
- siddboots 13y agoPick any distribution, any browser, and even pick which flash implementation to install (including Adobe's). Flash has worked fine on Linux for about a decade.
- giardini 13y agoUbuntu, Opera, any Flash version - fail. Ubuntu, Firefox, any Flash version - fail. Ubuntu, Chrome, any Flash version - fail.
- phaemon 13y agoHaven't tried Opera, but Ubuntu with Firefox and Chrome work perfectly well with flash for me. It's not a general issue that affects everyone; it's a problem with your setup.
- dsego 13y agoFlash was mostly working fine in Ubuntu I think even 4-5 years ago.

- qu4z-2 13y agoI haven't tried playing 80% of videos on YouTube (ain't nobody got time for that), but of the videos I've tried to watch, all of them have played just fine (with a few buffering/[quality settings refusing to stick] issues which I've experienced equally on Windows boxen). Videos on other sites seem to work most of the time, especially if I temporarily disable AdBlockPlus. Distros: Fedora and Gentoo.
