Hi mchasard,
By default rolling provide tazweb/midori web browser, both can't display properly youtube website.
You can try to use firefox-official packages (localized version with firefox-official-{locale}, ex firefox-official-es for spain)
But Firefox 77.0 ESR is also too old but it's last version could be run on rolling.
We have minitube, i doing quick test, seem not work due of old version 2.4, need check if we can provide more recent version.
Sorry to can't provide solution at the moment.

Hi shann,
Thanks for your answer ... very desapointed that no soluation actually exist to be able to run youtube video.
i appreciate really the fact that slitaz is light and will be a good way to be installed on my old 32 bits pc.
waiting for a solution to get newer version of browser ...
Thanks in advance

Hi mchasard,
For more detail, rolling use glibc not satisfy minimal requirement to run firefox esr.
Another way, you can try version 6.0 that can use more recent firefox (128.14.0esr).

I know need to optimize, polish it, need 768Mo to boot live properly.

Hi shann.
Thanks for this link
I tried slitaz 6.0 iso and in effect I could get a Firefox newer version that could open YouTube but I have no sounds working...and it seems to be slow
When a stable slitaz 6.0 version should be out ?
Thanks in advance

Hi mchasard,
you're welcome.
Sorry forgot firefox need pulseaudio to have sound, seem forgot to add as depends.
For slow, unfortunately firefox not really good friend with old hardware.
At least for youtube, need to check for update minitube to offer more smooth experience.
Before release it as stable, not exhaustive :
- need to polish it
- ensure work on old / new devices
- ensure correctly tested
- packages on repository covert all usages (at moment only all apps on desktop iso and others but is very less than rolling packages).
- [others thinks i certainly forgot]
Plan to be release before spring.

Other irc soft hexchat is not here in the package with slitaz 6.0

Hi mchasard,
I update firefox-official package to add pulseaudio as depend.
For minitube, i check to build 3.9.3 version, seem issue with invidious code
../src/yt/invidious/ivchannel.cpp:3:10: fatal error: http.h: No such file or directory
../src/yt/invidious/invidious.cpp:3:10: fatal error: cachedhttp.h: No such file or directory
I found on github, need to fetch submodule on sources, check for it.

Successfully build minitube, but issue with ssl.
Previous issue with GL/EGLX OpenGL context, related to miss depends of libQt5Plugins (but not directly explain, mesa and other deps correctly installed.
Infact minitube use qt5, and seem qt5 try to link with openssl 3, check to rebuild it with openssl11 (1.1.1ze, backports from 3.x included).

Fix issue with openssl, but not work properly.
Seem issue on QObject SearchView 
Seem issue opened but not close https://github.com/flaviotordini/minitube/issues/195

Edit: with [c]qtdiag[/c] seem build don't embedded openssl 1.1, could be explain issue

Hi mchasard,
Qt 5.14.2 can't use OpenSSL 3.x and use 1.1.x branch not work.
I decide to bump qt5 to 5.15.18 that native support of OpenSSL 3.x (also last LTS version 5.x branch).
Below test i do, minitube work as expected 
.
Before build qt5 for 6.0 x32 (only build for 6.0 x64), need to ensure others packages that depend of qt5 rebuild correctly (vlc, wireshark, virtualbox).
Also not sure i said, but hexchat available on mirror.

hi shann,
happy to see that you goes on testing for my initial request.
Should i download a new iso to get thoses new features ?
cause actually with the previous iso slitaz 6.0 i can't see hexchat and also minitube to test it
Thanks in advance

Hi mchasard,
Not needed to download new iso, all packages are available on repository.
Just need to recharge packages db with [c]tazpkg recharge[/c] to ensure you have last packages list.
At the moment, only hexchat are available on mirror, i don't push minitube yet (not build for 6.0 x32 and wait that work as expected).
Good news, for packages depends of qt5.
vlc => 3.0.10 work as runtime with new qt5 but failed to rebuild, i rebuild it to last 3.0.23.
wireshark => 4.2.9 work as runtime with new qt5
virtualbox => 7.0.26 work as runtime with new qt5
=> I rebuild it to ensure no side effect with qt5 build (5.14.2) and qt5 runtime (5.15.18).
Now i can rebuild qt5 and packages (minitube, vlc, wireshark, virtualbox) on 6.0 x32 chroot

Hi mchasard,
Sorry, my fault, seem forgot to regenerate pkgdb before rsync for 6.0 x32 .
I'm doing for 6.0 x64 and thinking doing also for 6.0 x32.
Package available on repo but don't listed on packages.list, now if you search [c]hexchat[/c] it available.
Sorry for mistake.
For minitube, i doing test on my EeePC with 6.0 x64, need to check because minitube failed about mpv webgl context (use hybrid card Intel i915 [Atom D525] / NVIDIA ION2).
Check to build on 6.0 x32 and doing test on Dell X300, maybe just issue on EeePC because hybrid card.

Hi mchasard,
thanks for return, seem same that my test on EeePC / Dell x300.
Think if you run minitube from terminal you see lines about gl context failed .
When i doing test on my laptop tuxedo, i have similar issue about gl context, but fixed with libQt5Plugins install.
But now libQt5Plugins it's included on runtime depends, problem seem other, don't really understand what missing.

Try this Firefox 75 + https://yewtu.be/ and make sure xine-plugin package has been installed on the system.
https://yewtu.be/ is a open source alternative front-end to YouTube

Hi Mc, I got Slitaz5.0-64 installed and like mentioned above, Fox gets version 77 as latest, and doesn't allow through package manager. AI showed me instructions to install it out of the recharge list, manual update style, which I like to be honest, when everything was manual. But I remember it was easier installing in 90's..
Anyways, you mentioned sound card issue above, it's not due to firefox, it's due to ALSA, in my setup, ALSA after fresh install, selects HDMI video as default throwback audio adapter, and Realtek AC97 soundcard as second card.
I found 2 solutions:
You either have to /1 manually set default driver (gpt helps), or /2 get a hdmi video splitter.
Hope that helps
