Ive tried the html5 beta on youtube it doesn't work on chromium but as far as I'm aware the pnd version of chromium is out of date.
The iPhone doesn't play the flv file it plays the mp4 file.
Apple and google (owners of youtube) made a deal that all videos be converted to mp4 so as to be viewable on the iphone(and now most other mobile phones now).
So there should be an easy way to view the mp4 youtube videos on our pandoras
hopefully.
YouTube is currently converting all of its videos to the new Web-M format (Based on the VP8 codec). It is meant to replace H.264 completely once all videos have been converted.
So: soon, iPhones will *lose* the ability play YouTube videos, while you'll be able to play them in Chromium.
Or I don't know how old the Chromium build of the Pandora is... It might not have the Web-M codec yet, you should check. Go to this URL and see if it plays: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLxQiI8c1Bs (with the HTML5 player, it'll say WEBM at the bottom)
