Yes, you can set up youtube cookies to recognise that you want to use HTML5 as |
| 12 |
Neil suggests, or if you still want to fix Konqueror to play flash videos you |
| 13 |
need to go in Konqueror settings/Plugins and click on "Scan for Plugins". It |
| 14 |
should pick up what it needs as long as you have the right packages installed |
| 15 |
(like adobe flash). |
| 16 |

In my installation(s) it shows /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so |
| 18 |
which on my system is a symlink to the adobe libflashplayer.so: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
$ ls -la /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so |
| 21 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Sep 14 10:12 |
| 22 |
/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so -> /opt/Adobe/flash- |
| 23 |
player/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The plugin in Konqueror would need to be associated with the correct MIME |
| 26 |
types like application/x-shockwave-flash and application/futuresplash, but all |
| 27 |
this should happen automatically when you scan for new plugins. |
