I've marked this as Confirmed and Wishlist for the ARM Landing Team.

Whilst it should be tested that it works functionally, I don't believe we can expect it to be smooth, due to lack of video acceleration and the general speed of the board.

Now the YouTube HTML5 video totally can't be played, only the first frame shows. This behavior is observed on Linaro ubuntu pre-built image:

YouTube HTML5 video now can be played, although the performance is poor, which is as expected. Observed on vexpress A9 board with Linaro ubuntu pre-built image:

Linaro has switched from GUI based ubuntu image to solid command line console, then this "YouTube" test is no longer required. The status of this bug on "linaro-ubuntu" project should be changed to "Won't Fix".
