Dimitrios,

Try

http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/Konqueror4Bugs/Bug282491-Play-Flash-Videos-Youtube.html

It works for me. I am using
KDE Platform Version: 4.8.0
Konqueror version: 4.7.97 (4.8 RC2) (with WebKit rendering engine)
Qt Version: 4.7.4
Operating System: Linux 3.0.0-15-generic-pae i686 (32bits) 
Distribution: Kubuntu 11.10
Adobe Flash version: 11.1.102.55
here.

Error: I wanted to say rather/instead

Konqueror version: 4.7.97 (4.8 RC2) (with KHTML rendering engine)

-----------

A thing I noticed in other bug reports (bug 246736 and bug 275184) is that an iframe is designed to embed *by default* another HTML document. Now, if the embedded object does not have mimeType text/html, then it should be specified. And the code does not specify type="application/x-shockwave-flash". So, a compliant HTML4 web browser should render a filled black rectangular area instead of playing the video. Konqueror is not wrong in handling those iframes, in my opinion.

<iframe width="480" height="303" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1L3eeC2lJZs"></iframe>

I've edited the code for the Flash video:

I have replaced

      <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
      <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">

with

      <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false">

Dimitrios,

Can you try
http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/Konqueror4Bugs/Bug282491-Play-Flash-Videos-Youtube.html
and indicate your results along with your

KDE Platform Version: 4.?
Konqueror version: 4.? (with ? rendering engine)
Qt Version: 4.?
Adobe Flash version: ?

Comment 5 Dimitrios Glentadakis 2012-01-27 06:26:48 UTC
it is ok after the latest update of flash 11.2 r202

The only problem now is that the skin color of humans is blue :) but only in youtube pages. In embeded videos the color is normal

Dimitrios,

I have added more comments in bug 246736.

I have modified

http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/Konqueror4Bugs/Bug282491-Play-Flash-Videos-Youtube.html

to only include relevant, basic parameters. So, 
allowscriptaccess, allowfullscreen, feature_embedded, version=3, rel=0, etc.
have all been removed. I also made the viewport larger and taller.
