Thanks for the help. I went to those websites in Otter Browser and clicked the play buttons but nothing happened, however a tick was displaying in the heading. So I'm not sure if that means it worked or it didn't?
You mean after installing e.g. CCCP? VLC ships with its own codecs. In any case, no video means it didn't work. Just try it in Chrome or Firefox to see what it looks like.
Thanks :3 I'll set the browser to automatically update and see if it helps once it comes out.

When I went save as I got the video files to play in VLC on my computer but I assumed that would work anyway since it works in Chrome and Firefox.
Also I tried Dailymotion in Otter Browser and that worked completely fine. So it just dislikes YouTube for some reason.
Sorry if I'm being dumb and missing something lol.
Does your system have the relevant codecs installed (e.g. WebM)? On my system it works fine with OGV and WebM, but apparently I'm currently missing a relevant video codec (H.264, I presume) in such a way that Otter can use it and I get only audio. Here are the links I used to test:
Back about a decade ago, the CCCP was a pretty decent way to get all the codecs you needed for MPC (Media Player Classic), but I understand MPC has come with integrated codecs since about the time I stopped using Windows. In any case, it you install that (be sure to install codecs only) and it still doesn't work then there's a problem that should be investigated.
Okay, so I just discovered this browser, and it was going really awesomely, until I tried to open YouTube D:
I love being able to automatically browse in private, to have 50 tabs open without crashing and to have a cute otter on my taskbar, but it's already driving me nuts having to switch back to Chrome every time I play a YouTube video, or anything else HTML-5 related.
I know it's not in line with the whole "classic" thing, but surely the interface and lightweightness of Otter Browser wouldn't be affected by adding HTML-5 support. You could reach a much wider audience and there's really no downsides except the time taken to work on it, which I'm sure is more than worth it for a feature at the very heart of the modern internet.
