idiots help with Minitube and You Tube

Have just come back to open SUSE, after years of suffering Ubuntu, (not very with it regards installing etc, know enough to turn on (and just about copy and paste),
problem was that did not know how to connect wireless, now of course is done for me.
However, now have the following problems, should add never like Firefox, so using chromium.
a. You tube: all I get is a screen that is black,full of snow, and a message, an error has occurred,please try again, (been doing so for three days).
b. Minitube, seems to load, select what video i want to watch, get the list,white line (sorry don’t know correct terminology), then whole thing disappears,have read and read suggestions on the internet to no avail.
Yes have flashplayer and everything else i had when operating in Ubuntu,and yes it is probably me, but can someone explain in simple terms what i am doing or need to do to get them back. as far as I am aware, everything else is the usual SUSE perfect.

For Youtube to work, you need chromium-ffmpeg from Packman - installing it will ask you to uninstall chromium-ffmpegsumo, this is normal. You can also use chromium-pepper-flash from there if you want Flash support.

Add Packman repository from YAST2 / Repositories / Add / Community Repositories / Packman Repository.

Thank you for your help.

Have now spent a fruitless morning doing the above, and researching the internet for a solution, it must be out there somewhere,else more users than I would have been on here.

I will give it one more day, then,afaid, will leave SUSE and switch to the dreaded Pinguy, at least there tube and mini are set up for you.

Again, my thanks

Hi, Have been told by she who must be obeyed that I should persevere, so here goes.

a. You tube loads, (after action advised),no picture or sound, but when cursor on time bar, shows miniature of what I would be watching, if that makes sense.

b. Have still be unable to find any information regarding minitube , all I can find on internet is related to previous versions of Suse and I don’t think apply, of course I could be wrong,but any help for those with the nohow would be appreciated.

If I am being a pain, I apologise.>:(

Got no clue what mini tub is but Youtub works just fine here in FireFox. Not at all sure about the chrome plated browsers but following the above should install what you need.

Have you checked this:

[CODEchrome://plugins/]

in your Chromium set up?

It should have something like this in it:

Adobe Flash Player - Version: 15.0.0.189
Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0

Sorry if this is not way to reply to all. still learning my way round forums, (cant find how you mark solved).

For gogathorp, sorry meant minitube.

Have now, and no don’t know how i did it, got youtube working, so going to leave well alone.

Hence my saying this thread is now solved.

Thanks to all their help
