Can raspberry play videos online?

[Bairex]

Hi
I'm trying to look at Youtube, and i can't see the videos?
another problem too, why do the raspberry divide my SD card in to 2 part and i can only see 1 of them?

I have not been able to view videos online, On the pi you can use the command line utility youtube-dl to download a video & then watch it with omxplayer; you will need to install it. youtube-dl will need updating by running

Code: Select all

sudo youtube-dl -U

and then

Code: Select all

sudo youtube-dl

for it to work.

I think the first partition boots the Pi & the second is the root partition. The first partition is actually mounted in the boot folder on a running pi.

Shortcomings of Windows is the reason you can only see one of them. Buried deep in control panel somewhere (in computer management, usually under administrative tools) is disk management, where you'll see the second partition listed as unknown. The small fat partition the Pi uses to boot is readable by Windows, the main filesystem isn't.



The Healthy (Unknown Partition ) is as close you'll get in plain windows.

You can actually browse the filesystem with ext2read: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/

There is a plugin for Midori that will load YouTube videos. Unfortunately, loading videos using the plugin is slow. Watch this video: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gRXedwXrPh8

The "hacks" by jojen and StevenHickson are way more usable than
using gnash IMHO.
