OK... I think it should be assumed by those trying to help that they will need
to tell you how to collect the information they need to help.
I'll stick to Chrome since that is the browser that I use and the site youtube.
In chrome enter at the URL chrome://plugins/ and hit return. You should get a
list of plugins. Look for the block labeled "Adobe Flash Player". Chrome has
flash "built in" in that the plugin is installed along with chrome. So, you
should see....
Adobe Flash Player (2 files) - Version: 11.5.31.139
Shockwave Flash 11.5 r31
Name: Shockwave Flash
Description: Shockwave Flash 11.5 r31
Version: 11.5.31.139
Location: /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
Type: PPAPI (out-of-process)
Disable
MIME types:
MIME type Description File extensions
application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash
.swf
application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player
.spl
If you see the block gray and the word "Enable" instead of "Disable" it means
your plugin is disabled. Click to enable.
Also, youtube allows you to select html5 for videos which Chrome does handle
internally. To tell youtube to server up html5 you need to enable it by going
to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and joining the HTML5 trial. Note that not all
content will be HTML5, read the information at that URL.
Also, FWIW, make sure you chrome browser if fully updated. I had a problem
with the internal flash player in chrome and had to disable it and use the
plugin from Adobe. Version 24.0.1312.69 of Chrome is working fine for me.
