For me, running the most recent version of TBB on Ubuntu 14.04, I can
stream videos from Youtube fine. I just have to temporarily allow all
the page then refresh, then repeat again. It streams, slowly, but it
does stream.

Precision: until FF has implemented the Media Source Extension API you
need to use Chrome for streaming. Right now you can not stream
directly from a youtube url (because you don't access directly an
audio/video file) but if there is an interest we can do it. Regards

You can use Peersmhttp://www.peersm.com  (see the streaming demo video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVaE8UZzDlA  and the starter links
http://www.peersm.com/?links-en) to stream/download anonymously from
Peersm or bittorrent networks or the web.

Even if not recommended for "normal" use you can use the TBB with
Peersm (I don't know what's the current FF version of the official
TBB, you need FF>=26 for Peersm, if not see
http://www.peersm.com/?use-en)

I cannot stream videos using my Tor browser and I wondered if anyone
could
explain how that can be done.
I find more YT vids stream in TBB 3.6 than older bundles...
I haven't done testing to see what identifying data might be revealed (if any) by this, but for Youtube (& some others), if you copy the vid URL, even though Flash isn't active, then paste into VLC, SMPlayer, they usually play. For Flash content, success of Flash vids on non-Youtube sites playing in VLC / SMPlayer varies. It often works for non-Flash or HTML5 content from other sites.

You can also play many vids right in TBB by editing the URL - replacing most everything between the base URL & the vid's ID string - with *"embed."* Edit out every thing before the ID string that is not alpha numeric - and - anything at the end of the ID string, after & including any non-alpha numeric chars.

So, "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV62UcqbcQA&list"; becomes https://www.youtube.com/embed/NV62UcqbcQA. It doesn't work for all vids, but a lot.
