I want to use gnash for playing flash movies. so I've merged gnash.

but now it isn't playing any videos or animations.
when i visit youtube... the video place is black and it is not loading anything.
(but gnash is loaded there... when i make a right click in the black area, it pop ups the gnash menu)


what to do to make firefox and gnash working together?


thx a lot

I think swfdec-* packages are not very up-to-date.

I am using www-plugins/gnash-9999 which works fairly well for youtube. Compiling it with USE="gstreamer" allowed the sound to work too.

thx for the tip.

but, perhaps a silly thing, where can i find the gnash-cvs overlay, described on the website from petersclan ?
layman -L doesn't display a gnash-cvs.

or is the actual gnash-0.8.6 in the official tree what you meant?

hi I'm not shure but have you added
Quote:
source /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf
to /etc/make.conf ??

add it with
Code:
echo "source /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf
and maybe a
Code:
emerge -va dev-util/subversion
gives you the gnash-overlay

hope this helps

I'm running flash-player within firefox and youtubevideos a.m.m are playing well

or just emerge www-plugins/adobe-flash

sometimes the ability of reading could be useful. :-)

the gnash-cvs is no longer supported.

I am not using the overlay from petersclan. I just grabbed the ebuild itself, and put it in my local overlay.
