Description John van Spaandonk 2009-03-08 12:41:12 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Flash does not work on youtube using view mode - webkit.
This also does not work with view mode - khtml

I checked that the problem is not related to webkit, it works
with arora 0.5.

I find it surprising that there should be such a high correlation between
things not working in khtml and also not in webkit part.
And I know (from checking with arora 0.5) that this is not a webkit
problem.
I read about konqueror's difficulty with the new flash player (version 10).
Does konqueror cause so many problems, not just in the 
khtml part?

Confirmed.
Comment 3 Todd 2009-05-19 18:11:02 UTC 
Confirmed on KDE 4.3 beta 1 (4.2.85) with opensuse 11.1 and flash 64-bit.

I'm watching top gear on youtube right now in konqueror with wabkit part enabled (works with khtml as well)

Unfortunately it's not always smooth experience.

nspluginviewer segfaults with webkit.

It seems to be working for me now.
