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

a XBMC addon.

Re: flash player
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 :

Re: flash player
+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

Re: flash player
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.

Re: flash player
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?Trublue wrote:Thank you Jesse for answering but I need to be able to watch videos on my pie how can I make that possible

Re: flash player
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.

Real life is, to most, a long second-best, a perpetual compromise between the ideal and the possible.

Re: flash player
There is another way of watching youtube by using youtube-dl and omxplayer.
First, by installing youtube-dl.
Then use youtube-dl to download the video.
After that use omxplayer to play that video.
First, by installing youtube-dl.
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get -y update; sudo apt-get -y install youtube-dl omxplayer
Code: Select all
