[Trisquel-users] SMPlayer doesn't play youtube vids

[maestro]

I use minitube to play youtube videos. The problem is minitube crashes  
sometimes and also it doesn't provide you with the capability of downloading  
the vids from the tube. So I was looking for an alternative and found out  
about SMTube which is integrated with SMPlayer and works great. Downloading  
vids through SMTube is as simple as right click and "record video".

The issue I am experiencing is I can't play videos from YT using SMPlayer but  
have to resort to VLC player which is slightly slower on my intel atom and  
also mutes the sound if I skip forward or backward.
I went to the options of SMPlayer and updated the youtube code, tried all the  
output drivers in the video option, to no avail.

Do you know how to solve it? SMplayer/tube would be simply perfect if it used  
mplayer for video reproduction.
