Have you checked to see if the sites you use have an interface for
mplayer or another media player? (Assuming they are streaming services
similar to Youtube) If not, it may be simpler to use nspluginwrapper.
Gnash compatibility can be spotty, but is improving. If you suspect
that the services that you use don't use advanced/recent Flash
features, give gnash a whirl.
They're streaming services like Youtube, and they're both completely
Flash-dependant.
The last time I used gnash, it was completely fine for basic streaming
stuff, but marketing sites and tech demos and (some) Newgrounds material
was borked. But that was over 3 years ago; times have certainly changed,
and I'd wager for the better. :)
The decision has been made for me, or let's say I made it back in May
when I installed pure-64-bit. I attempted emerge -pv nspluginwrapper,
and found that nspluginwrapper requires multi-lib support on amd64
installs... oops. So gnash it is. After my abortive nsplugin emerge, I
did some research. It seems that gnash doesn't do sound by itself. It
requires the gstreamer flag for audio functionality. That flag pulls
in gstreamer and friends. I run with custom flags in make.conf. Any
comments on my choice of flags? Do I need additional ebuilds loaded as
well? Is it supposed to pull in 2 versions of media-libs/gstreamer?
Calculating dependencies... done!
