Hi guys!!
Can you watch video on youtube?

Potete vedere i filmati youtube?
Ho montato sulla SD questa immagine A13_debian_34_75_WIFI_RALINK_GCC_GPIO_X_I2C_100KHz_UVC_TS_FTDI_video_release_9.7z ma comunque non riesco a vedere i filmati su youtube.
Ho provato anche con immagini Linaro ed altre, ma il problema è sempre lo stesso.

Qualcuno può aiutarmi a risolvere il problema?

Grazie tante.

Edo

Unless you use a browser with HTML5 video support, you need FLash. The original Macromedia/Adobe one is a ugly proprietary binary beast, which supports ARM only on Android (in Linux, only i386/x86 and amd64/x86_64 are supported). So try to switch youTube to HTML5 (see http://www.youtube.com/html5 ), but only part of videos are available via HTML5. Or try some Youtube downloader and watch the video offline.

Download and watch them offline.

Use "youtube-dl" and "mplayer".

You can give XBMC a try as well; no experience on my side.

I complied a newer version of SMPlayer together with SMTube, this works great for Youtube.

http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/smplayer/smplayer-14.9.0.6690.tar.bz2

http://smtube.sourceforge.net/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/smtube/files/SMTube/15.1.0/smtube-15.1.0.tar.bz2/download

apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev
was enough for me to be able to compile the above programs
