On the newest image ?

Yep...the one from the 5th.  I'll see if I can snag a screenshot when I see it happen next.

Poorly. If you want that sort of stuff, then go with android. I am glad to say however that SMplayer works great with some tweaks. 1080p plays back smooth as butter for the most part.

Youtube is ok if you don't go full screen.  I wouldn't rely on your Pinebook to be a TV/Movie watching device.  Luke's right though, the Android images seem to be far better for performance, even at full screen video was good.  Linux won't be awesome on this thing unless there's a proper X video driver for the hardware.  I think the Linux install is using a juiced up version of a FrameBuffer driver which historically is one of the most compatible you can get, but the most terrible for performance.  Plus the Mali400 isn't really all that awesome.  I kinda wish the would have at least put the Mali450 in the Pine hardware.
