webkit browsers without flash don't play (YouTube) videos
Hi there,
I'm having trouble playing YouTube (and other) videos using webkit browsers without flash.
Webkit browsers were crashing all the time trying do see YouTube videos. That seems to be a problem with cairo. After replacing cairo with cairo-git from the aur the browser wasn't crashing anymore.
However I'm still not able to play that videos. In Firefox YouTube is working fine.
The browser I tried are uzbl and dwb. It's not necessary to play the videos directly in my browser so it would be fine to download and play them with mplayer. Therefore I installed the dwb extension autoquvi but it neither spawns automatically nor manually by typing the command:
:autoquviI didn't change the standard configuration of dwb and autoquvi.
So basically there are two issues: 1. Webkit browser don't play videos. 2. I can't download videos using autoquvi.

Re: webkit browsers without flash don't play (YouTube) videos
I am planning on making a youtube app for Arch. Basically I have been using keepvid to watch videos, but that is not practical.
I am building my OS from scratch based on Arch (window manager, desktop environment, file manager, browser, etc.) and the YouTube app is on the list. It may use the YouTube API, or it may just hijack the videos in a pirate sort of way.... whichever is easier for me to program.
