Can't play any youtube videos

[Alan Chandler]

Something seems to have happened overnight and now both firefox (which
could play them before) and konqueror (which has always been a bit
dodgy) can't play youtube videos.

Am I unique?

Did anything change on your machine?

An update (debian unstable) - but I don't recall any packages associated
with video/flash in the update.

Nothing else

I am still in etch. But, I'll take a shot.

If you upgraded from lenny, and flash was working, perchance you had the mozilla-flashplayer (I think) pkg instead of the flashplayer-nonfree (I think)? Because flashplayer-nonfree is broken in lenny. If memory serves, flashplayer-nonfree will not install if mozilla-flashplayer is present. So to get the sid pkg now you may have to remove mozilla-flashplayer, then install flashplayer-nonfree.

Guessing here.

Thanks, that might have been it, I am not sure.  I did this in two
steps.

1. Switched over to non-free and carefully removed all the other stuff.  
Youtube was still telling me to install a later version of flash.

2.  Did an aptitude update.

Now it works in Firefox and Konqueror.
