I have gnash installed with nsplugin use flag, however I can't play any youtube videos in Firefox Bon Echo. I don't see any video window. As anyone been able to watch youtube videos in firefox?

Yes, it worked for me!

Had to wait a little bit before it starts (using firefox 2.0.0.4)

Can't wait that this project will be useable on most sites which includes flash...

Did you simply emerge gnash, or did you have to do something else to get it to work?

I think you need to enable at least ffmpeg use flag, maybe some others.
I emerged it with these flags and videos worked:

Code: Select all

[ebuild  R    ] net-www/gnash-0.8.0  USE="agg ffmpeg gstreamer nsplugin xml -kde" VIDEO_CARDS="-i810"

I do have the ffmpeg use flag enabled.

I tried viewing youtube videos on a different profile, but on the same computer and it worked. There must be something wrong with my firefox profile that is causing youtube not to work.
