This is only solution for YouTube and Google video. It does not even work for other sites with flash videos (at least I had no success). For the static content (let say one stock market chart ) linux flash plugin 7 used in the native browser via nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.4_2 works perfectly. It works better than in Linux browser. Make sure your linux plugin wrapper is deinstalled before you install nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.4_2 I left a detailed how to in one of the threads about the flash from August I think.
