Totem is unable to play quite a few things, (on my system, that includes all h264 files), but I usually find mplayer or ffplay work fine. > Perhaps the saved stream isn't quite a valid FLV file? It should be exactly the stream that's downloaded, so there's not much we can do about it. It could well be a valid file, and the failure is in totem-gstreamer. > 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). > It doesn't play because it uses ActionScript 3 (the most recent FlowPlayer), which is a poor way to get support from free Flash players. > Perhaps the saved media should have a filename extension based on > the codec type (e.g. "get_video12.flv"). > We don't know the codec type before opening the cache file, so that would need a mechanism to rename cache files after they've been opened, and consequently more substantial changes to the code, which I'm trying to avoid this close to a release. It also doesn't seem like a very GNU way of doing things either, as GNOME (for me, at least) has no trouble recognising the correct codec and displaying thumbnails. > As an aside, a few bugs in the youtube player: > > * The youtube movie's fullscreen button doesn't go full screen.

Yes, it's an ActionScript bug that no one has been able to identify yet, possibly to do with super() -- The current release of Gnash is 0.8.4 http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ Benjamin Wolsey, Software Developer - http://benjaminwolsey.de
