My Dear Friend,
You will have to wait for a very long time then since all of the
above except Flash (which Adobe does release for Linux but not for
FreeBSD) works flawlessly on FreeBSD including watching YouTube (just
use youtube-dl to snap the video and play with VLC). There are even
alternative solutions for the Flash unless you want to play video
games full of Flash!
I tried youtube-dl but every url I tried gave
youtube-dl: No match.
eg
%youtube-dl http://youtube.com/watch?v=gpIM3nBR2ZA
youtube-dl: No match.
I even installed the latest version.
Do only certain videos work? Do you have an example that works?
Any video posted on Youtube will work for youtube-dl . It will snap the
file in .flv format which can be player only with VLC and MPlayer.
Nothing else. Clive is capable of snapping videos from Google video as
well and has an additional capabilities to converting
.flv files to more friendly video formats like .MPG
So what do you think? That I can not watch YouTube because I use
FreeBSD? Funny...
There are at least 4 other way to watch videos on YouTube on FreeBSD
running machine. The one I proposed is the simplest.
Thanks and apologies for hijacking your thread.
Chris
