That's the problem. I get no error message on the uri;
just a blank(white) player screen. Right clicking give
no useful info on what is required to run the player;
doesn't even say what player it is. I am aware that
Youtube requires flash and I have flashplugin-nonfree
installed. If I also need the player then I need to
know what repo to put in my sources.list bercause
flashplayer-nonfree is not in my cash.
