Gecko Media Player 1.0.4 "Video Player Plug-in for QuickTime, RealPlayer and 
Windows Media Player streams using MPlayer"
Shockwave Flash - Version: 10.1 r999.<br>Gnash 0.8.10, the GNU SWF Player.
These are for both Firefox and Chromium, both as installed by either the 
Lubuntu 12.04 distribution or by me - nothing altered.

 I know that there are releases of Gecko later than this - 1.0.8 being the 
latest official release - but 1.0.4 is what is in the repositories for 
[L]ubuntu 12.04.  [In fact, I tried to download/install 1.0.8, but even after 
adding the correct PATH --> the gcc compiler, the install still could not 
either find the compiler, or didn't like what it found, I don't recall 
which...]  It is possible that there is something that the later versions of 
Gecko need that are not in my distro version, and that this is why the version 
seems stuck at 1.0.4 ...

 

 >Enable verbose logging and keep an eye on the log file.
I did turn on logging for gnash, and checked all the boxes.
This was a mistake - the log file created was at least 2GB, and brought my 
system to a crawl - it was quite a while before I managed to correct the 
situation.  I turned off all but the two error checkboxes, and apparently there 
were no errors to log, as there was no file produced...

>Try a different media handler.
I may do that...  someone (somewhere) mentioned vlc.
If I don't have another answer, I will try that - can one have two plugins 
installed, and deactivate one of them in order to try the other (and the 
reverse, of course)?

The wierdest thing for me, is that all worked fine before...  then I could not 
do it in Firefox...
and now I cannot also do it in Chromium.
Nothing changed (I think), except for installing the latest Firefox.

Check which media handler / sound handler you're using (it's in Help->About).
Enable verbose logging and keep an eye on the log file.
Try a different media handler.

Try running gnash from the commandline. Direct SWF url for youtube
has the form http://www.youtube.com/v/<video_id>
