Playing with the shiny new Linux FlashPlayer 9 Beta:
$ gflashplayer -h
Usage: gflashplayer [OPTION]... [SWF_FILE]...
Options:
-h, --help Display this help and exit
-root Use root window for xscreensaver
[SWF_FILE] required in this mode
-window-id <id> Window ID for xscreensaver-demo preview
This looks like it should work, but I always get a blank gflashplayer
window and an error:
$ gflashplayer -root mytest.swf
(gflashplayer:9084): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x340003e unexpectedly destroyed
I tried to "install" it as a screensaver, i.e., have it listed in the
xscreensaver settings (aka: xscreensaver-demo):
$ xscreensaver-demo
(gflashplayer:9079): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x360003e unexpectedly destroyed
To get it into xscreensaver-demo, I copied gflashplayer to
/usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/gflashplayer and added a gflashplayer.xml
to /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/ :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<screensaver name="gflashplayer" _label="FlashPlayer">
<file id="swf" _label="SWF to display:" arg="-root %" />
<_description>
Play a SWF file as screensaver.
</_description>
</screensaver>
...and added the following line to the other screensavers into
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver under *programs:
"FlashPlayer" gflashplayer -root \n\
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Does it work for anybody else?
Thanks!
Mark
