I built CVS gnash on FC6 yesterday, using all three renderers. The Cairo version ran something like 20x slower than realtime; AGG and OpenGL ran ordinary movies in realtime. E.g. I tested JibJab.com's This_Land.swf:
http://www.jibjab.com/originals/originals/jibjab/movieid/65 [Sigh! It doesn't play when I take Firefox to that page; but it does play if run the command-line player on the Flash file that gnash downloaded months ago into /tmp from this page. Bizarre. I dissected the gnash command line forked from Firefox (from ps axwww), pulled apart the XML in: http://www.jibjab.com/originals/playerfeeder/jibjab/movieid/65 and downloaded the 10MB .SWF file from: http://llnw.content.jibjab.com/_movies/ThisLand.flv but it's 3x the size of the original -- and gnash says "Could not load movie" when run on it (BUG?). I've temporarily posted the original, which plays with CVS gnash, but mangles many of the sprite contents: http://www.toad.com/JibJab_ThisLand.swf AGG renders this best, but still with tons of rectangles that get the wrong image contents (BUG); OpenGL messes up even more rectangle contents (BUG). But Cairo can barely spin the opening logo at one frame every four seconds or so. The Cairo renderer must be doing something truly stupid; is that stupidity easy to fix? [If we're using the Cairo back-end on the OLPC, no wonder it's such a dog there.] John _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
