Hi, Folks -- Checking the archive of the mail list, I see this is a recurring question. :-)
I've installed Wheezy on my old iBook (G3? G4? not sure) and would love to find a reasonable way to view YouTube videos on it. I gather the underlying problem is (1) no Flash plugin expected to be made for PPC architecture, and (2) Gnash development has stalled out...? I've tried the FlashVideoReplacer plugin for Firefox/Iceweasel, but that doesn't seem to work -- no matter which player I've set it for, nothing happens; I see the file being transferred and cached, but pressing "Play" only results in the message "Stopped" in less than a second. It begins to look like HTML5 may, eventually, be the answer...? But it seems to require something called WebM...? Only, when I follow the link at YouTube for that and land at the mozilla site, the site will only tell me I need a newer version of Firefox and won't I please download it now. If I go ahead and download it, will I have something that will run in Wheezy on PPC? Or is this a wild goose chase? Aternatively, is there any other way to acquire WebM? And will _it_ be useful on PPC? Thanks kindly, -- -- Jeff -- <http://www.wellnow.com> "There's nothing left in the world to prove.
