flashplugin-10.0.15 doesn't work with youtube anymore. The video will play for ~25 seconds and then stop playing and loading.

It only does this for some videos like this here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBvaHZIrt0o.

Note: don't skip to the position, but let it play for ~30 seconds.

Using the latest flashplugin from the adobe website fixes the problem.
This task depends upon

I guess you are suggesting there is something wrong with the flash version in Archlinux repos. I dont see that here.
The video you link plays throughout just fine.

Weird, the new plugin now hangs with different videos. I also tested this on another arch linux machine and everything worked fine. I guess you can close this...

For the record, flash in firefox hangs after firefox has been running for about a day. This happens to me so often that I simply restart firefox when I get home from work. Man, do I hate flash :)
