It probably will not work with the built in web browser as you cannot
get flash from there.
I added a button to one of the menus to launch a firefox session:
<button>
<type>FIREFOX</type>
<text>Firefox</text>
<action>EXEC /usr/bin/firefox</action>
</button>
Put this in /usr/share/mythtv/<pick a menu>
Also, if you are using spdif, it won't work in flash. When I listen to
a flash video, I have to switch from spdif to analog on my external decoder.
