I did some additional testing (with live cd etc to get a clean repro) and it turns out that since my main machine has swfdec it will show the error I describe in step 2. Also, the yellow bar with the "Want to install missing plugins?" does not appear because Firefox actually thinks that swfdec can play the movie content (which is clearly is not capable of).
It's a shame that swfdec and gnash isn't mature enough yet, it seems that people is tricked into thinking that swfdec and/or gnash are "equivalent" to the closed source flash plugin. It's of course easy to believe that because Firefox doesn't HTML rendering brilliantly, so why not Flash? -- firefox cant play CNN video clip and doesnt offer to install plugin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225166 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
