Glad that I could help you.
Linterna Magica not working with lightspark is probably due to LM being
written for replacing what Gnash renders on a given page. If you disable
Gnash without installing anything else, LM stops working too.
If there is no way to play the video on it's original location, you can
always try searching youtube for the video, or searching the entire web for
it. There is always a slight chance the video was uploaded in multiple
places.
Sometimes websites don't upload videos directly to their servers but rather
to blip.tv, then link to those videos inside their proprietary Flashplayer
inreface. Good thing is, the Unplug trick is working on blip.tv.
I'm crossing fingers that all sites will switch to embedding video through
html5 asap... Right now it's quite a big mess.
