x-shockwave-flash
General:
*.spl // Unsure if this row came after Lightspark installation
*.swf
Embedding:
Show file in embedded viewer
Ask whether to save to disk instead (only for Konqueror browser)
Services Preferences Order:
Klash, embedded Gnash plager for KDE (klash_part)
Test:
http://www.skierpage.com/olpc/flash_tests/car_smash.swf // Test Gnash Ok!

Right click in the box, File, Properties: SWF 10 // Flash 10; substitute url "watch?v=" to "v/"
http://www.youtube.com/v/YR4ezMgRlWo // Test Gnash Ok!
It shows a big arrow.
Right click in the box, File, Properties: SWF 8 // Flash 8
Gnash result: Gnash works!
2) Lightspark
# nano -w /var/lib/portage/world

# emerge -av www-plugins/lightspark
[ebuild R ] www-plugins/lightspark-0.4.4.3 USE="-nsplugin -pulseaudio" 0 kB
2.1 Check
Should show the following:
Configure Konqueror, File Management, File Accociations
Textbox: swf <enter>, General, Application Preference Order,
Lightspark
Test:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR4ezMgRlWo // Test Lightspark not Ok!
Only a black box and no arrow to click on.
Right click in the box, File, Properties: SWF 10
Analyze, why is it not working:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rage_128
Rage 128 was compliant to Direct3D 6 and OpenGL 1.2.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightspark
It uses OpenGL shaders (GLSL).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLSL
Included into the OpenGL 2.0
# glxinfo | grep -i "opengl version"
OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 7.8.2
Lightspark result: My software and hardware are speaking OpneGL 1.2. Lightspark speaks 2.0 or above. I will mot get Lightspark to work with my hardware!
3) Html5
Test:
http://punky030.com/test/test.html // Test Html5 Ok!
Test Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/html5 // http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2010/08/watch-video-in-youtubes-html5-player.html
Click on "Join the HTML5 Trial"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR4ezMgRlWo&html5=True
Only a black box and no arrow to click on
http://www.youtube.com/v/YR4ezMgRlWo&html5=True // Starts Gnash instead of Html5
It shows a big arrow.
Right click in the box, File, Properties: SWF 8
http://www.youtube.com/html5
Click on "Leave the HTML5 Trial"
Html5 result: Html5 works! Youtube (opt-in trial) demands browsers plus versions plus codecs which I do not have at home or at job.

| For Youtube, you may also want to mention the Youtube without flash greasemonkey script, which leverages mplayer/totem/vlc browser plugins for displaying videos. |

Well, no, Gnash doesn't work, evevn with the URL hack. It's been a couple of ebuilds it has never worked for me. Curiously enough, when I enable HTML5 on youtube, I can see the circling ring (as if it were a YouTube video) and I'm immediately prompted with a message there's no HTML5 support. The only thing I'm able to get is a black square without any content.
Note I must enable nsplugin otherwise I get a «Download» dialog instead. When I go to Dailymotion, it says the content for the plugin has been deactivated (wtf?). But in Firefox modules & plugins, I can see «Shockwave flash Shockwave Flash 10.1 r999. Gnash 0.8.8, the GNU bla bla bla...» and it's enabled!
Been stuck for years in fact. Never been able to make Gnash work properly on Gentoo. Any hint?

Gnash works fine here with Youtube. Of course you need USE="nsplugin" enabled to get the gnash browser plugin.
With gnash-0.8.8 you had to block Youtube cookies in some cases, or else you would only see an error message. This issue has been fixed in gnash-0.8.9. |

you need firefox 4 and not all videos are compatible yet. add &webm=1 to the end of your youtube search to see ones available |

Yeah, I know. You can also enable HTML5 on Youtube as they have a page where they allow you to enable that feature and avoid changing the URLs by hand.

I don't see anything, just a black rectangle. That's been like this for (no lie) years. No error message, nothing more than just a black rectangle.
BTW how can you tell from Firefox that you have Gnash? I have downloaded Adobe Flash player 10-... (64-bit) from their web site and it's working pretty well. Except I sometimes get "crashed" error messages and Firefox becomes unresponsive at times. In the list of plugins, this is what I have:
| Code: | gxine starter plugin (disabled)
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999 (disabled)
Shockwave Flash 10.1 r999. Gnash 0.8.8, the GNU swf player [...] (enabled)
Shockwave Flash 10.3 d162 (disabled) |
But where could the second shockwave flash come from? I also read that Gnash supports Flash up to version 9 so the third item in the list is a little bit surprising to me.

Ok, Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999 was in fact swfdec plugin. But I've disabled it and still I get only a black rectangle...

| Having several plugins for the same MIME type installed will cause problems. Disabling them is not enough, you need to unmerge the ones you don't want. |

Removing all plugins SO but gnash seemed to do the trick. Now one of my CPU cores gets eaten  . Is there any acceleration setting I could use?

| In 0.8.9 there are some features and performance optimizations like threading, but they require firefox-4.0. |

Nice to know indeed. So far gnash seems to work but it's a PIA to always clean Youtube cookies before watching any video. Note now those videos don't play and give me an error message permanently instead («An error occurred, please try again later»), even after clearing Youtube cookies.
BTW I think I was confused with the CPU activity. It was my screensaver that actually left remnant applets which were consuming the CPU. I've killed and wiped them now. Not sure it was Gnash in the end.
