The gnash port reportedly works pretty well. The linux-flashplugin port with nspluginwrapper worked really well for me for a while -- then just randomly broke. If you're not picky about watching them *in* the browser, you can always just install the youtube_dl port, then use the youtube-dl script to download YouTube videos to watch them in MPlayer. There's a plugin for Firefox that allows you to use MPlayer within the browser. I haven't checked yet on whether that works for viewing YouTube videos. Last I checked, the linuxpluginwrapper didn't work worth a damn for Flash support in Firefox. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] John W. Russell: "People point.
