By copying the plugin to /usr/share/ubufox/plugins, I was able to get Ubuntu's firefox to see it. (I guess they configure this directory in the .dsc file for the Ubuntu packages.)
The Gnash plugin's About box needs a 2009 copyright update. Also gnash --version. (Anyplace else? The documentation?) It does indeed create saved media files when I go to youtube. Great! But totem is unable to play those files, reporting: ** Message: Error: Internal data stream error. gstflvdemux.c(528): gst_flv_demux_loop (): /play/decodebin1/flvdemux1: stream stopped, reason error Perhaps the saved stream isn't quite a valid FLV file? I tried to get it to save an MPEG4 by going to the Internet Archive, e.g.: http://www.archive.org/details/poetry_in_motion_clip But gnash doesn't succeed in running the Archive's flash player (I didn't diagnose why). Perhaps the saved media should have a filename extension based on the codec type (e.g. "get_video12.flv"). As an aside, a few bugs in the youtube player: * The youtube movie's fullscreen button doesn't go full screen. But gnash can clearly do it, since the Gnash "Toggle full screen" menu item works. * After a video is done, the subwindow gets a frequently refreshing view of two other available videos. However, you can't click on these to go to the video. And there's a problem with the visibility of the static photo shown from the video -- it comes in, fades to black as the video titles paint, stays black, and then suddenly reappears as the title display fades out.
