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.
If you stream a yt video outside of the TBB or Peersm not using
something that eventually proxies the traffic to Tor, you can be sure
that there are tons of tracking stuff, that's why we did not implement
it for now, it's a mess to catch the audio/video flow among all what is
sent to yt.
Thanks. 1st trying to use HTML5 in TBB is easier, when it works.
Except, there's not nearly the same amount of playback control & options
as in decent, open source players.
VLC has option to set Socks & http / https ports plus many other network
settings. As many or more network settings as most any app.
Not sure if SMPlayer has such network settings - devs could answer that
on their forum.
I assume those settings would keep VLC inside Tor network, but haven't
confirmed it. VLC devs would know. If it doesn't, it's probably a bug
& VLC devs would likely fix.
You can turn off other contact between VLC & home. After all that, it's
unlikely there's "there are tons of tracking stuff," but that still
needs confirming, if absolute anonymity is needed when playing vids.
