The current webkitgtk2 2.4.8 required by the surf browser and the accompanying gstreamer packages like gst-libav do not playback HTML5 Youtube videos smoothly.
As mentioned before, the Collabra patches on Webkit IIUC do provide smooth playback. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=7743
I was hoping that just installing gst-omx-rpi from the alarm packages would do the trick, but it doesn't seem to offer any improvement.
I've noticed Collarbra's Webkit repo is here: http://cgit.collabora.com/git/raspberry-pi/WebKit.git/
But I don't have a build environment to build this on alarm sanely. Can anyone offer some ideas/help going forward to realising this use case?
Many thanks,
