have you unchecked under gnash settings -> security:
1. connect only to localhost
2. connect only to local domain

These both options prevent of course that the youtube swf file can load the video (needs a connection to youtube).
Afterwards youtube worked for me.

An other, slightly more secure way would be to use the whitelist.

Disclaimer: I don't know if and how the whitelist works because I unchecked both options.

Make sure mms.cfg is setup correctly.

cat /etc/adobe/mms.cfg
---------------------------
#Hardware video decoding
#EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1

If EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 is uncommented it will crash browsers.
