Re: [Gnash-dev] youtube bugs for release

Other than the XV support, hacking on this branch should be oriented towards bug fixing what needs to be done. The trunk (as of a few days ago) still has serious bugs with Youtube's embedded player, the largest of which is that it floats a big play button in the middle of the video window for

[Gnash-dev] Avoid RC file complaint on every run

Gnash lets the user put an RC file in ~/.gnashrc. The properties that the plugin's GUI lets you edit go into $HOME/.gnashpluginrc. It doesn't need the .gnashrc file, and doesn't ever install one, yet if one doesn't exist, it complains every time you run gnash or flvdumper or other programs.

Re: [Gnash-dev] Trunk gnash can't play AAC audio via gstreamer?

audio works fine. Apparently gnash isn't finding the installed AAC codec, even though gstreamer finds it without trouble. In theory this should work with gstreamer-plugins-bad 0.10.9.1 or higher, since that version adds the aacparse element which is currently required for (non-FLV) AAC
