I don't understand why Gnash would be able to play a video by using the gstreamer library and the codecs it knows about, but Totem wouldn't be able to play the very same thing using the very same library on the very same system.
Gstreamer's FLV parser may not yet support the new codec types. The same can be said for ffmpeg based players.
Are you really sure there's no gnash bug here?
Yes. Both videos play fine in Gnash. The first video plays in mplayer, but the second video doesn't.
A "Save Media" feature that half the time saves media that won't play isn't very useful.
I'm afraid we can't do anything about the playback of other players, but our save feature works just fine.
[Aside: This seems pretty excessive to me; perhaps someone who knows the code can figure out why we're pulling in GPG, libkrb5, and every codec known to man. Just linking all these must take more than a second on the OLPC.]
I suspect most of those are pulled in by Gstreamer. I don't know if there's anything we can do about that. Bastiaan _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list Gnash-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
