Thanks Rich
I had vlc but not browser-plugin-vlc gecko-mediaplayer isn't in stretch but I installed it from jessie. Still no joy on youtube videos. spinning disc in the middle of the frame as though the stream is trying to download. Same result with html5. However, I disabled html5 according to your earlier instruction and hey presto - youtube plays :-) you can disable automatic playback of it by going to in firefox type about:config (in statusbar) then click "OK" search for "webm" (again in statusbar) disable automatic playback webm content or so.

If it's not doing that automatically then you can go to the following page to check: https://www.youtube.com/html5?gl=GB I think you may need some extra gstreamer plugins installed if it show you don't have full support for the required formats. I wouldn't bother with the Gnash or Lightspark plugins that attempted to create open source equivalents of the the Flash plugin. I found them very buggy and incomplete even when they were under active development. Cheers, ChrisHi Chris I've got these and grepped apt-cache gstrreamer for mozilla/html but couldn't find anything. Any idea of what may be missing? There seem to be loads of them. clive@Pandora:~$ dpkg -l | grep gstreamer ii gstreamer0.10-alsa:powerpc 0.10.36-2 powerpc GStreamer plugin for ALSA ii gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs:powerpc 0.10.36-2 powerpc GStreamer plugin for GnomeVFS ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-base:powerpc 0.10.36-2 powerpc GStreamer plugins from the "base" set ii gstreamer1.0-libav:powerpc 1.6.3-1 powerpc libav plugin for GStreamer ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-base:powerpc 1.6.3-1 powerpc GStreamer plugins from the "base" set ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-good:powerpc 1.6.3-1 powerpc GStreamer plugins from the "good" set ii gstreamer1.0-x:powerpc 1.6.3-1 powerpc GStreamer plugins for X11 and Pango ii libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0:powerpc 0.10.36-2 powerpc GStreamer libraries from the "base" set ii libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0:powerpc 1.6.3-1 powerpc GStreamer libraries from the "base" set ii libgstreamer0.10-0:powerpc 0.10.36-1.5 powerpc Core GStreamer libraries and elements ii libgstreamer1.0-0:powerpc 1.6.3-1 powerpc Core GStreamer libraries and elements ii libreoffice-avmedia-backend-gstreamer 1:5.0.5~rc1-1 powerpc GStreamer backend for LibreOffice Thanks Clive |
