--- Begin Message --------BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: browser-plugin-gnash Version: 0.8.11~git20120629-1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? * What was the outcome of this action? * What outcome did you expect instead? *** End of the template - remove these lines *** I have been trying for some time to be able to watch flash-video using lightspark, but this did not work. Now I found that it is not possible at all to watch flash-video while gnash and browser-plugin-gnash are installed. With Chromium for example, there also the adblock-plus extensions needs to be disabled in order to be able to watch video. Gnash was never good enough to play video, no idea if the situation is going to change, when lightspark hits the crowd, it would be nice really. But FSF should not be so fundamentalistic in my opinion. HTML5 video exists and it is better than flash, not denying this, but it is simply not accepted widely enough yet. So it does not seem to be a good idea yet to completely block macromedia-flashplayer from debian-multimedia, or is this technically necessary ? - -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.10.7cafl (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages browser-plugin-gnash depends on: ii gnash 0.8.11~git20120629-1 ii libboost-iostreams1.49.0 1.49.0-3.2 pn libc6 <none> pn libgcc1 <none> pn libglib2.0-0 <none> pn libstdc++6 <none> ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1+deb7u1 browser-plugin-gnash recommends no packages.

--- Begin Message ---See http://wiki.gnashdev.org/FAQ#What_should_gnash_play.3F If you install browser-plugin-lightspark, lightspark will fall back to gnash whenever clip is AVM1. Gnash can play say ~80% of AVM1 classes. Lightspark 30-40% of AVM2 ones. Sites supported by lightspark: https://github.com/lightspark/lightspark/wiki/Site-Support If flash clip you can't play is AVM1, file a gnash bug. Otherwise (AVM2) a lightspark one. In both cases, development is almost dead. youtube is the only known special case: if site detects gnash, it offers an AVM1 clip gnash can play well, otherwise an AVM2 one. You can switch among browser plugins with $ sudo update-alternatives --config flash-mozilla.so Shumway is coming. http://lwn.net/Articles/569496/ Proprietary non-free flash non-free player non-free is non-free available non-free on non-free repository. https://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer https://wiki.debian.org/PepperFlashPlayer
