Watching youtube inside Emacs!

[balanga]

I've only just become aware of the possibility of watching youtube inside Emacs.

Apparently you can do this using emacs xwidgets webkit.

Anyone tried it on FreeBSD yet?

I occasionally browse a web page with M-x xwidget-webkit-browse-url. It's kinda neat, but far from perfect and certainly does not replace a real browser. I just tested YouTube. I can browse the site, but playing videos reports "Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available." You could probably find or write a little elisp snippet to send the video URLs to youtube-dl.

How to compile emacs with xwidgets support?

Yeah, emacs is a great system, only lacks of a good editor.
