Doesn't solve the issue with [..] YouTube
Actually, gnash has been working for years with youtube. It just stopped
1 week ago, because youtube changed the player to version 10 or
something. Gnash played it, but it did have audio glitches on quite a
few videos.
If it is an important video, you can use youtube-dl or cclive, which
just downloads the video. Then you can watch it with any media player,
like mplayer.
I'm actually not so much into YouTube (I guess I missed the hype when it
became popular, as I was on a phone-line internet connection), but
occasionally there's some private videos on FaceBook that I'd like to see...
(and since the latest FaceBook doesn't work with Konqueror, which has less
problems with showing videos than Iceweasel...)...
Are there tools for downloading these videos too?
Firefox extension Download Helper supports a whole pile of such sites -
but not Facebook. Sorry. Don't know about cclive, but it looks like
clive doesn't support Facebook videos, either.
