Roadmap

1. test the Permanently Enable HTML5 on YouTube greasemonky userscript, that Tails used to ship (before commit 167946958).
2. also, test the YouTube HTML5 Switch iceweasel add-on.
   #* needs to be patched to accept running with FF17
   #* correctly adds &html5=1 to YouTube urls
   #* this appended URL parameter seems to have no effect (with Tails 0.17.2’s browser)
3. test viewtube

Test reports

ViewTube Greasemonkey userscript

With Tails 0.18, I first ran apt-get install xul-ext-greasemonkey, that installed the version 0.8.20100408.6-1. Iceweasel said that this extension is not compatible with iceweasel 17.0.6.

So apt-get remove --purge xul-ext-greasemonkey

Then from iceweasel, I installed both https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/ (1.8) and https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/87011 (version 2013.05.21)

The page http://isebaro.com/contact/?ln=en&sb=viewtube reads "Videos don’t play on secure URLs (HTTPS)", but even with HTTPSEverywhere and Noscript desactivated, the video quoted in the Test repot #1 is not working: "The video should be loading. If it doesn’t load, make sure a video plugin is installed."

It’s however possible to download the video, by clicking on "Get" in the top-right corner of the video.

Left to test:

• Try installing xul-ext-greasemonkey 0.9.20-1 from unstable
• Check if there is an answer there http://isebaro.com/contact/?ln=en&sb=viewtube#reply536
