[Etvl]

As we all know because of flash youtube runs poorly on any powermac.
So i was wondering what solutions you guys have!

Can you get VLC player on ppc? You could give that the youtube url and see how it plays?

I use that for playing games to keep the window on top, so no idea if thats any help really? :/

Did you try TenFourFox in conjunction with Quicktime Enabler?

You could give this a try. Don't know if it still works.

I don't believe that this will still work. The hack relies on a hacked version of the flash-plugin!
From the TenFourFox TechNotes :

Because of increasingly poor plugin support on Tiger and PowerPC, plugins ship disabled in 10.4Fx 6.0, and no longer function at all in 19.0 and up. This is both for reasons of security (particularly with Flash) and the use of incompatible later OS X APIs.

Couldn't you use a User Agent Switcher with TenFourFox. That way it identifies itself as an iPad or iPhone and Youtube loads Flash free in HTML 5 instead. I haven't used PPC for a while and don't feel like dragging out one of my PPC devices to test it out.
