[[!toc levels=2]] Next steps ========== 0. integrate the test reports below and the next steps they suggest as part of this roadmap 0. wait a bit for [[todo/smtube]] to mature; if it's acceptable and merged, then perhaps we will consider the *easier YouTube* task as completed. 0. [[todo/benchmark_YouTube_HTML5_addons]] 0. make audio and video codecs autoplay (so that the Tails web browser works in a less surprising way, especially for new users; also, the idea is that when one goes to a page with audio or video objects, they want to read them more often than not) Alternatives ============ * [[todo/Flash_support]] * [YouTube Video Download for Greasemonkey](https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/62634) Background ========== * [[forum thread|forum/Youtube_is_now_automatically_HTML5_enabled]], * [[!tor_bug 3347]] Test reports ============ Out-of-the box YouTube support in Tails 0.18 -------------------------------------------- With Tails 0.18, I visited one of the featured videos on youtube which is <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK_eKGK4JrM>. At first it gave me the usual msg flash player, then I added `&html5=1` on the URL and refreshed the page. It worked as it should be no issues. After that, most of the videos played out of the box without the `&html5=1` that where on the right side as featured/similar. > I can reproduce this with 0.19. However, one still has to > click-to-play their way through the "Additional plugins [...]" > message. --intrigeri From one of them I got the msg "The browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available." Later I entered <https://www.youtube.com/html5> where I verified that my browser does not support h.264, also I had the msg "You are not currently in the HTML5 trial." Hope that helps.
