Yes, you can set up youtube cookies to recognise that you want to use HTML5 as Neil suggests, or if you still want to fix Konqueror to play flash videos you need to go in Konqueror settings/Plugins and click on "Scan for Plugins". It should pick up what it needs as long as you have the right packages installed (like adobe flash). In my installation(s) it shows /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so which on my system is a symlink to the adobe libflashplayer.so: $ ls -la /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Sep 14 10:12 /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so -> /opt/Adobe/flash- player/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so The plugin in Konqueror would need to be associated with the correct MIME types like application/x-shockwave-flash and application/futuresplash, but all this should happen automatically when you scan for new plugins.
