Playing youtube.com (and others) video in VLC
Flash videos used on youtube and some other sites are really resources hungry and don't always work well on the linutop. A solution exist to retrieve these videos and play them with VLC.
Here are the few steps:
- go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 using firefox
- install the plugin by clicking on "Install now"
- restart Firefox when the installation wizard ask you to do so
- install this script (just click on the link)
- browse youtube; a small yellow frame will appear on the top on the page, click it
- click on the proposed link to download/play the video
