[Bug 120621] [gutsy]gnash 0.8.0 will not play youtube, auto codec installation not working, other videos not working

[Thomas Wolfe]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnash

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474596
I had both gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg (video codecs for youtube) and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly (audio codec for youtube) installed, and youtube would not play, just totally blank, plays audio for a second and then just goes blank.  I tried out uninstalling those two packages, and going to youtube and I got an error with the auto install stuff (will attach screenshot).
Then I tried to watch some old weebl and bob videos, and none really work properly, audio plays, but the video is flickering a lot, unwatchable (will also post screenshot).  this is all with compiz disabled.
