FYI, I've been running for some time now with a version set to "8.0 r99" and hardly found videos not working.
Instead, I've been struggling with another problem being a 403 (permission denied) error from the actual yt webserver serving the flv videos. This one was always fixed by deleting the cookies coming from youtube.com. Did anyone see that ? The symptom is a message: "An error occurred, please try again later." shown by the gnash player where the video should be. This message always appears when the cookie is sent, so after a cookie clear you can see a video only the first time (and a page reload gives you that error message). --strk; On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 08:39:43PM +0100, strk wrote: > Oh, another tip. > With firebug, you can try those functions directly: > > yt.flash.canPlayV9Swf(); > yt.flash.canPlayH264Videos(); > > Definition of the Ye() function I haven't found yet. > > --strk; > > On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 08:27:50PM +0100, strk wrote: > > On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 01:14:26PM -0600, Richard Wilbur wrote: > > > On Fri, 2010-03-19 at 17:32 +0100, strk wrote: > > > > More info about those functions: > > > > > > > > J("yt.flash.canPlayV9Swf",function(){return Ye(9,0,0)},void 0); > > > > J("yt.flash.canPlayH264Videos",function(){return Ye(9,0,115)},void 0); > > > > > > > > So, if I get it correctly: > > > > > > > > - exposing anything < 9,0,0 gets you > > > > watch_v8-vfl154104.swf (should be supported) > > > > > > > > - exposing anything >= 9,0,0 < 9,0,115 gets you > > > > watch_as3-vfl153842.swf (SWF9 but no AVM2, should be supported) > > > > > > > > - exposing >= 9,0,115 gets you > > > > watch_as3-vfl153842.swf (SWF9, AVM2, UNSUPPORTED!) > > > > > > Thanks strk, > > > > > > I tried setting gnash 0.8.7 from 10,1,999, 0 to 9, 0, 114, 0 and some > > > back corners of youtube still came in SWF10, AVM2 but the front page is > > > SWF9, AVM1!
