Multimedia :: flash9-beta



Hello all DSL user !

I was very impatient to test flash9-beta on DSL ( 3.01 an 3.1)

So i install FIREFOX 2.0
I put the new "libflashplayer.so" plugin in /usr/local/firfox/plugins

If i make about:plugins in FIREFOX
it tell me that flash9 is well installed.

But then i try to connect to a web site with flash inside
i can see flash animation but my firefox close itself after 10 seconds with an "segmentation fault" error.

I install FIREFOX 1.5 and have same problem.

If i return to flash7 plugin, all is working fine.

I try flash9 beta plugin on KNOPPIX V5 (FIREFOX 1.5)
and there all is good !

Is anybody has a solution for flash9 with DSL ?

Thanks a lot.

I'm seeing the same thing - approx 10 seconds in and it kills the browser with gtk errors and a segmentation fault.  

It's a pity as a great many sites are using content that doesn't work with flash 7 and its starting to impact on the overall experience of accessing the web using dsl.

for completeness - here is the exact error I get opening flash with flash 9 plugin:

Did you try the gtk2 versions?
I've not seen any gtk2 versions of firefox 2 in the downloads - do you have a link I can try?

(fwiw, the flash 9 plugin won't initialize at all without gtk2 being installed first, then it plays 10 seconds or so of video then kills ff)
