Description of problem: Youtube, under html5 beta, does not display video, but only sound, for supported clips. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Epiphany 3.2.1 How reproducible: Every time on a mint system. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start epiphany 2. Go to www.youtube.com/html5, activate beta 3. Try to play some supported clip Actual results: The audio of the clip plays nicely, and its possible to select HD. However, there is no video whatsoever, just a black screen. Expected results: Should behave normally with both sound and video. Additional info: The system is F16 Beta, running on an HP Probook 4510s. The system was originally installed from a F14-LXDE-Live disc, and upgraded to F16 Beta via preupgrade. I have also tested running epiphany under Gnome 3.2, also in F16 Beta, and did NOT have this problem. That was a separate installation, however. The one this bug is being reported from runs only LXDE.
I am having a hard time to believe this is an LXDE problem. I rather think there is a dependency missing. Can you install GNOME on the LXDE machine and then try there?
I have tried installing GNOME as well, and Epiphany displays video just fine in this setting. What dependency could be missing do you think?
*installed Gnome on the LXDE setup, that is.
What did you do to make youtube accept epiphany? I am getting error messages about installing flash.
Christoph - it is not using flash, but html5. You can activate html5 for Youtube by going to: http://www.youtube.com/html5
I know it *should* not use flash and I have been at http://www.youtube.com/html5, ran the test (successful) and enabled html5. But still, when I try to watch a video youtube complains it wants flash.
That happens if the video you are trying to watch has not yet been converted to an html5 compatible format. To find a video that does fit htlm5: search for something, then click search options, and sort by WebM.
Alright, that did the trick. Before I tried the "&webm;=1" URL hack. I have tested this with the F16 LXDE Spin (RC2 to be exactly). I installed epiphany, enabled HTML5 and watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuPulzG5XbU - Works fine, I cannot reproduce your problem.
Weird...I will try updating later and see if that changes anything. I am not running the pure F16 LXDE spin, but upgraded from the F14 LXDE spin...could that change anything?
Tried a full system update to see if it was caused by outdated packages. Still doesnt work.
Can you please try with a fresh user account to make sure it has nothing to do with personal settings?
Alright, tried with a fresh account..this time, Epiphany hangs as soon as I try to go to the screen for activating the Beta. It seems the gst-plugin-scanner is the culprit.

Disabling JS allows access to the page, but also seems to eliminate the option to active the Beta as well (clicking the activate button does nothing, and webM videos give the standard need-flash message when opened).
Created another user account, this time from the command line. The previous account was created using Administration - Users and Groups. Under the new account, I am able to access the page, enable the beta, and play vids without difficulty. However, there is still no video.
about:plugins in Epiphany shows all plugins twice for me (including Flash, that doesn't work). That looks a bit suspicious to me.
Peter works on epiphany now.
(In reply to comment #15) > about:plugins in Epiphany shows all plugins twice for me (including Flash, > that doesn't work). That looks a bit suspicious to me. Flash can be made to work by wrapping it by nspluginwrapper. Html5 videos work for me. Packages used: webkitgtk3-1.6.1-1.fc16.x86_64 epiphany-3.2.1-3.fc16.x86_64
