Bug 21897 – watching video on GoogleVideo OK, video on youtube KO

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: Plug-ins

[Andrea Budelacci]

I'm triyng WebKit library but I have a problem with YouTube: I'm using the GtkLauncher (WebKit-r37894.tar.bz2). When I watch video on GoogleVideo it works fine, but when I watch the same video on YouTube it doesn't work (The site says: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. )

Example:
http://video.google.it/videosearch?q=gatto&hl=it&emb=0&aq=f#q=gatto&hl=it&emb=0&aq=f&start=170
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KycZk1M7g24
Do you have any idea about this behaviour? I' using ubuntu 8.04

Thank you in advance

Hello,
I've just built the latest version of WebKit on Ubuntu and i was able to run the youtube clips you mentioned without problem. Do you have this issue only with WebKit? Have you tried with another browser?
Regards,
Mihnea

Over a year without an answer. Assuming Flash works fine now.
