how can i make pi play flash

[Jessie]

You can't. There is no flash player for the R Pi and none is planned.

[Trublue]

So what can I do to make it play YouTube videos when I am in Internet

[Trublue]

Try gkreidls Minimal Kiosk Browser :

Note that some Flash-powered sites do work without it in the form of
a XBMC addon.

Feed it into google, there are numerous hacks to make youtube work but it doesn't use flash, generally involves hacking omxplayer one way or another.

One example :

Or the smarta**e answer : http://lmgtfy.com/?q=raspberry+pi+play+youtube

+1 for Minimal Kiosk Browser makes use of youtube-dl and omxplayer, neat solution.

Alternatively Youtube and many other sites have a HTML5 option for playback format

Most (decent) video sites now offer a HTML5 option. As long as you're using a decent browser it should be able to play them. Dont expect awesome playback on the Pi running Raspibian though as you wont get it, it's not optimized for it.

If you're using the pi for video just stick Openelec or Xbian on it and it'll be able to play all sorts of content with a handful of free addons from one of the big repos like superrepo.

YouTube videos

Had your topic and question said "How do I watch You Tube on the Pi?". We could have helped you right away. I'm not sure anyone "needs" to watch You Tube, but that is just me splitting hairs. What would happen if there was absolutely no way to play YT content on a Pi?

There is Epiphany with Gstreamer1.0 somewhere in the collabora repository.
If you want Flash, DO NOT use any service which hate respecting the standards..
... and you will have HTML5.

Re encoding of YT content to pi compatable format me thinks .

Only HTML5 as previously mentioned, not Adobe Flash.........

There is another way of watching youtube by using youtube-dl and omxplayer.
First, by installing youtube-dl.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -y update; sudo apt-get -y install youtube-dl omxplayer

Then use youtube-dl to download the video.

Code: Select all

youtube-dl [LINK]

After that use omxplayer to play that video.

Code: Select all
