I think it only works with YouTube and not (many?) other streaming websites. It has to parse the webpage so it can stream from the YouTube URL (I believe YouTube streaming URLs used by HTML5 are not reused and have a limited "lifetime" - correct me if I'm wrong on this). You can test it by pressing Media (in the menu) > Open Network Stream > enter the YouTube URL > Play (or stream, convert, etc.) I used to use Gnash+HTML5, but since it relies on non-free JavaScript I decided to avoid using it. IMO, non-free JS and Flash are the main reasons why YouTube is able to stop people from downloading and sharing videos and from having full control over what their computer is doing. -- Andrew Roffey OpenPGP fingerprint: F9E6 E6C4 0080 85F4 0E30 B0D9 7F7B DC7F 9657 B073
