Hi Chris!
I've tried to get OI playing Youtube videos without much success,
and would appreciate some suggestions.
I get audio and video when I play the YouTube videos I've tried using
firefox on my hipster workstation, so it seems like it might be some
interplay between your hipster guest, VirtualBox, and the Windows host.
I've installed the hipster-encumbered packages you listed, with some
progress on playing videos. An earlier install of OI I still
have as a VirtualBox image plays the video fine,but no sound. That
image has some other pkgs installed, I need to do a detailed compare
of 'pkg list' output in the two images (neither play sound). So both
images play video though.
This is a VirtualBox image
running on Windows,with a standard OI install updated today.
I don't have that environment to try help you troubleshoot, but I do have the
inverse/opposite: a Windows 10 guest in VirtualBox running on
a hipster host. I get audio & video on the few youtube videos I've
tried in the Windows guest.
The
html5test.com site shows no support for H264 codec, although Firefox
60 should have such support?
When I browse to that site from firefox on my hipster workstation, as
of today it gives a score of 439 out of 555, and it shows that H.264
support is present.
I have the same result with the image I updated with your list.
Strangely the score didn't change with the update but H264 is now
listed as supported.
I've tried adding various
gstreamer/gstreamer1 plugins, and I tried installing the ffmpeg
package, all with no result.
Where from? The hipster-encumbered publisher? If it helps, here's what
I have installed on my OI hipster workstation that came from
hipster-encumbered:

The best I've had is with video
running but with no audio, Something seems to be missing in the
system but I've no real clue as to what that might be.
Have you tried other audio in the hipster guest? Rhythmbox playing
some media it should support (maybe find a test file in OGG format).
Or maybe 'vlc' installed from the /hipster-encumbered publisher (if that's
OK for you to do).
I tried the VLC player with an ogg test file but still no sound. The
VirtualBox-Host handles audio ok, I just confirmed with a FreeBSD
image I have on the host. Actually the Machine - Settings - Audio
page has the same settings.
I'm also interested in what Settings->Audio says within VirtualBox for
the guest in question. If you were hosting VirtualBox on OI or Linux I
would also have you run
VBoxManage help | egrep -- --audio
VBoxManage is not recognised on my host.
to see what that outputs, but I don't know enough about how to convert
from 'egrep -- --audio' to Window's "find" command.
Tim
Thanks again!
