You need to install the Netscape plugins support for Konqueror
(kde-base/nsplugins *) and then install the flash player plugin itself.
Only MythBrowser from truck will allow plugins to work so don't bother
to try this if you are using packages from the fixes branch.

If you're using a 64bit cpu then you may also need the Netscape plugin
wrapper to allow 32bit plugins to work on 64bit browsers.
(net-www/nspluginwrapper *)

MythNews from trunk will now also allow you to subscribe to some of the
RSS feed from Youtube to view some of the videos. If you do that I
suggest you get the latest version of mplayer and use that as the player
the internal player still  has problems with may of videos or at least
it did the last time I tried it.

* Those package names are for Gentoo you will have to find the
equivalent for your distro.
