I have removed flash after the latest problem with x86_64 release and I want to get youtube working ASAP.
To that end, I downloaded nightly sources of webkit(not wanting to download the entire svn checkout) and built the qt port. However the video element is still missing, as tested on http://html5test.com.
There are 2 more options you could try too: - use aur/minitube a really nice standalone app for watching YouTube
But you need to know URL beforehand IIRC. Too much for my wife.
- use a nightly build of Firefox 3.7a/4.0 which supports WebM - its faster and will support html5 + webM on Youtube (but afaik it's only available on some videos) In general I use firefox only when I have to, because it does not integrate well with KDE and I really don't like GTK looks.
