Title: Playing Youtube clips in VLC
Post by: Swaphead on January 29, 2015, 10:42:49 PM

Hello all,

I've just installed WattOS R8 on an old Dell Latitude D400.(single core 1.4Ghz! - it's at least 10 years old.:
I'm really pleased with how quickly it runs, especially with the Midori browser installed..
Kudos to BiffBaxter et al!

Unfortunately it  struggles to play  flash  (as you would expect)  and inserting the URL into VLC wasn't working.
I installed SMplayer which also does not work.

FWIW there is a simple solution for VLC here that works  :

Looking forward to R9!
