Have got used to most things 'Pi' but don't understand why I can get page such as youtube to load and show main and side bar screens but actual 'play' area remains black and says a 'plug-in' missing so won't run.
Please help out an OAP with no computer back ground. (using R-Pi B+2)

First and foremost it is trying to use Flash Player, you need to change to HTML5 Player:titus-a-duksas wrote:Have got used to most things 'Pi' but don't understand why I can get page such as youtube to load and show main and side bar screens but actual 'play' area remains black and says a 'plug-in' missing so won't run.

Secondly it will not be a great experience it is best to use kweb if you are using Raspbian Operating System

Re: u tube needs 'plug-in'? to run, how
how is it possible to install HTML5 player in iceweasle on Raspbian?
#define S sqrt(t+2*i*i)<2
#define F(a,b) for(a=0;a<b;++a)
float x,y,r,i,s,j,t,n;int main(){F(y,64){F(x,99){r=i=t=0;s=x/33-2;j=y/32-1;F(n,50&S){t=r*r-i*i;i=2*r*i+j;r=t+s;}if(S){PointOut(x,y);}}}for(;;);}

AFAIK Iceweasel supports html5 natively. However video performance will not be good as there is no hardware video support for it.davenull wrote:how is it possible to install HTML5 player in iceweasle on Raspbian?

what would you suggest to do for best possible video performance, e.g. for youtube videos?
#define S sqrt(t+2*i*i)<2
#define F(a,b) for(a=0;a<b;++a)
float x,y,r,i,s,j,t,n;int main(){F(y,64){F(x,99){r=i=t=0;s=x/33-2;j=y/32-1;F(n,50&S){t=r*r-i*i;i=2*r*i+j;r=t+s;}if(S){PointOut(x,y);}}}for(;;);}

Re: u tube needs 'plug-in'? to run, how
It is lightweight to run youtube-dl on the file you want on youtube and even before it is done downloading, you can start viewing it with omxplayer filename.mp4.part or whatever it is called. You might think there will be trouble when youtube-dl renames the file to end in just mp4, but the system handles everything without incident.davenull wrote:what would you suggest to do for best possible video performance, e.g. for youtube videos?
This will run most youtube stuff even on a 256meg pi because you don't have to run X window. You can ssh in twice, once to run your youtube-dl command and the other to run your video.
Re: u tube needs 'plug-in'? to run, how
That'd what kweb does under the hood, except it doesn't download the file, but simply streams it. Kweb is a better option than doing it manually.stderr wrote:It is lightweight to run youtube-dl on the file you want on youtube and even before it is done downloading, you can start viewing it with omxplayer filename.mp4.part or whatever it is called.

Re: u tube needs 'plug-in'? to run, how
do I have to install youtube.dl? I think I read something.
I'm not 100% sure if I have Jessie - how can I verify?how to install youtube.dl then?
next I would have to make those steps - correct?
wget http://steinerdatenbank.de/software/kweb-1.6.9.tar.gz
tar -xzf kweb-1.6.9.tar.gz
cd kweb-1.6.9
./debinstall
But instead, I would prefer to stay with iceweasel, if possible, because I first browse, and incidentally, on the side, then also watch videos (e.g., on facebook)...

Re: u tube needs 'plug-in'? to run, how
ps,
I activated HTML5 on iceweasel, the video loads, even can hear a little sound, but EXTREMELY slow, then it hangs up - also the rest of the internet sites load extremely lame.
Is this a known Raspi issue?
My Wifi Stick is 802.11n, it's amazing quick when been used by my PC instead!
How can I speed up USB/WiFi on my B+ ?

Modern Websites are full of JS, fancy graphics, and various other crud that it takes ages for everything to load and on a limited platform like a RPi Epiphany and kweb Browsers are about as good as it gets.

Re: u tube needs 'plug-in'? to run, how
Sorry, I didn't understand that the problem is caused by a (missing) video accelerator or a graphics card.
I assumed it was rather a USB driver issue..
can you recommend an external video accelerator, e.g. by USB, providing also HDMI output like the built-in one?
Working out of the box with the Raspbian GUI and gpp terminal window and X-Window instantly, if a HDMI screen is plugged to it?

You can't. You can only use what's on the Pi currently available and working to accelerate video, which the best way is kweb.davenull wrote:no idea how it is called, anything that makes a hardware acceleration - I am no technician (and not a English speaker).

Re: u tube needs 'plug-in'? to run, how
Doesn't this require X window? I was looking at the Youtube website on one machine with a web browser, and then downloading on another machine with youtube-dl, and then watching the view on the RPi during the download process. So the pi is doing nothing but the video.kusti8 wrote:That'd what kweb does under the hood, except it doesn't download the file, but simply streams it. Kweb is a better option than doing it manually.
Re: u tube needs 'plug-in'? to run, how
Well yes. It runs omxplayer in X since kweb runs in X. But the OP is running iceweasel anyways which suggests that he is using X. Most people with this problem are running X. It doesn't make much difference, omxplayer uses the GPU, so there is no need for extra CPU used by X.stderr wrote:Doesn't this require X window?

I get the best experience on a raspberry pi 2 running Raspbian Jessie. Here's how:
1. Install midori and gnash:
2. Open midori
3. It should work!
Kratos
PS: I have 128 MiB set as the GPU memory
1. Install midori and gnash:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install midori gnash browser-plugin-gnash -y
3. It should work!

Kratos
PS: I have 128 MiB set as the GPU memory
I have posted mostly with a Pi 2 running either Ubuntu MATE, or Raspbian.
