Hi Dave,

You need flash in order to play movies from youtube. The firefox
browser in OpenBSD doesn't come with that installed, neither there is
a package or port for it. You might use the opera browser instead (you
need to compile it from the ports, together with the flash plugin).
Since it is made to be run in Linux, you need to turn the linux
emulation on of your kernel,

# sysctl kern.emul.linux=1
# opera

But don't expect to have the same results as you would with a non
emul program. Sometimes the videos will not play and you will have to
do several refreshes of the page before you see it.
