Yep, here is a third solution: install both chromium and pepperflashplugin-nonfree. Then play www.bbc.com/news/10462520 in chromium. And there is a fourth solution: play the video with mpv. $ mpv http://www.bbc.com/news/10462520 mpv uses youtube-dl (by default) to find the video url. The same idea, using youtube-dl to provide mplayer (or any other player) with the video url: $ mplayer `youtube-dl -g http://www.bbc.com/news/10462520` BTW: the version of youtube-dl in jessie is not recent enough, so it won't work. Instead of an 'apt-get install youtube-dl' in jessie you'd better download and install it from https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/ Later, run an occasional 'youtube-dl -U' to keep it up to date.
