I think I should know this but I don't, and a search didn't turn up anything
recent.
It's my understanding firefox 22 with html5 should allow playing youtube videos
without the flash plugin. But when I try to watch a youtube video, firefox
crashes. I had this working on firefox 17 under 9.0 but don't know how it was
configured... My firefox is installed with the following options:
/usr/ports/www/firefox$ make showconfig
===> The following configuration options are available for firefox-22.0,1:
DBUS=on: D-Bus IPC system support
DEBUG=off: Install debug symbols
GCONF=off: GConf configuration backend support
GIO=on: GIO for file I/O
GNOMEUI=off: libgnomeui support module
GNOMEVFS2=off: GnomeVFS2 (virtual file system) support
GSTREAMER=off: Multimedia support via GStreamer
LIBPROXY=off: Proxy support via libproxy
LOGGING=on: Additional log messages
OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=off: Use extra compiler optimizations
PGO=off: Use Profile-Guided Optimization
WEBRTC=on: Web Real-Time Communication
====> Options available for the single AUDIO: you have to select exactly one of them
ALSA=on: ALSA audio architecture support
PULSEAUDIO=off: PulseAudio sound server support
I installed the following as freshports indicated they were needed to run,
but it made no difference:
www/nspluginwrapper
audio/alsa-lib
multimedia/libv4l
hints?
