I would recommend downloading the latest Chrome (which also comes with latest Flash) or Firefox and see if that helps.
you're probably making the same mistake i did, confusing chrome with chromium. chrome includes an updated flash, chromium doesn't. at least, that's my current understanding. somebody else (I forgot who and already pruned the attribution) said:
In case a bit of non-free might provide the missing functionality, I added to sources.lst:
# non-free multimedia stuff. Mirror for http://deb-multimedia.org/ deb http://mirror.optus.net/deb-multimedia/ stable main deb-src http://mirror.optus.net/deb-multimedia/ stable main
BTW, there's no need to add deb-src entries unless you actually intend to download package sources and rebuild them. not including them saves download time and RAM for processing more+larger sources.list files. i strongly recommend commenting them out unless/until you need them.
Having said that the multimedia packages in wheezy are old, possibly broken, and deb-multimedia is a convenient way to get something newer without upgrading to Jessie. It is unlikely to help Youtube issues however.
it's also AFAIK the only way to get working mythtv packages in debian.
You don't need a Debian package.
Just download the package from upstream, and install in, say $HOME/firefox and run $HOME/firefox/firefox
one of the Mint devs maintains a firefox package for debian. you can install it by adding the appropriate sources.list.d file and running "apt-get install firefox". # cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mint.list deb http://packages.linuxmint.com debian import NOTE: this repository contains several other mint packages for debian and using it may result in it replacing official debian packages with mint packages. i'd recommend commenting out the 'deb' line and only uncommenting it briefly whenever you want to update the firefox package...i.e. an 'apt-get install' rather than 'apt-get upgrade' also note that you're probably better off just installing iceweasel from experimental...after making sure you have a nearby mirror of experimental in your sources.list: apt-get -t experimental install iceweasel current version in experimental is 36.0.4-1 while sid & jessie have only 31.5.3esr-1 this may pull in other updated packages from experimental or sid or jessie. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
