Need help with playing video on sites like youtube.

(1/1)

Moon:
Hello every one. I am Moon. A little bit about myself, i had this really old computer lying around which i wanted to use and i came across Tiny core linux. Its been couple of days of using tiny core. I am learning a lot, i mean seriously it is a journey indeed.

The problem i am facing is that i cant play any videos from youtube or site that similar to youtube. I was learning about the issue i got to know about codecs and different formats. i still think i don't know much about the issue. i want to use Tiny core efficiently. I've managed to play videos of simipler formats.But i cant seem to run any videos from sites like youtube. Your help would be appreciated.

Hi Moon. Welcome to the forum.

You didn't say which version and architecture you're using. You can find out by running these commands:

--- Code: ---$ version
$ uname -m
--- End code ---
If you are using a recent version (12 or later) and x86_64 architecture, you can load (i.e., "install") the brave-browser extension, which supports video playback (from youtube and other sites) out of the box. This is how you load brave-browser:

--- Code: ---$ tce-load -wi brave-browser
--- End code ---

Providing information such as make, model, CPU type and how much RAM
is installed will affect the recommendations made for your question.
