Oh my god I completely forgot about RealPlayer. Luckily there was an alternative, Real Alternative, that enabled you to play the content without having to install that ghastly RealPlayer. It seems like the community always finds a way around crappy software.

Re: YouTube now defaults to HTML5 video
#132Now I have to figure out how to fix HTML5 audio. For some reason it always uses the wrong alsa sound device, even though Flash and all my other apps use the right one. This is how I fixed it for all the other media: ~$ cat .asoundrc pcm.!default { type hw card 1 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 } Also, I just checked the site and it's still using Flash for me in Firefox 35.0 (???) edit Ah, they do it for Beta versions…

#134What joy it is to finally uninstall Flash. The last time I was this happy to uninstall crappy software was when I realized that I no longer needed RealPlayer. For those that don't know it, RealPlayer was a very popular proprietary media player (with its own proprietary formats) circa 2000. The company's stock was worth $380 a share in 2000; it's now worth $6. The only explanation for RealPlayer's popularity was its D…
RealPlayer was the coolest thing I'd ever seen when it came out in the mid 90s. It was the first streaming music player, as far as I know.

This was also before everyone decided that the browser would be the only internet platform.

It may simply be me, but in Firefox, I don't have the option to change speeds. *update: It looks like they haven't rolled out the change everywhere. I had to change it to HTML5. It still defaults to flash apparently.
I believe that the YouTube HTML5 video rollout depends on parts of the Media Source Extensions, which are only available in Firefox starting in beta.
