A second on the flameeyes' blog recommendation. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
As for flash, I've had some luck with the swfdec package (perhaps still |
| 13 |
in the sunrise overlay?), but it seemed /very/ touchy on build-order. |
| 14 |
Between firefox, swfdec, swfdec-mozilla, and perhaps a couple other |
| 15 |
packages, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't, depending on whether |
| 16 |
the merge order happened to be correct or not. Unfortunately, revdep- |
| 17 |
rebuild didn't help either; it said everything was fine. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So eventually I gave up on swfdec, in particular because my normal |
| 20 |
browser is konqueror anyway tho I have iceweasel/firefox merged, and |
| 21 |
swfdec didn't seem to work with konqueror at all. Now, I just use kde- |
| 22 |
misc/youtube-servicemenu to download the file (as mp4) and play with |
| 23 |
kaffeine, and don't worry about flash anywhere else. Occasionally the |
| 24 |
service menu gets the URL wrong somehow, but it hasn't been a big deal |
| 25 |
for me. Another alternative, for firefox, is the DownloadHelper |
| 26 |
extension. It works more broadly than just youtube, but is nagware, and |
| 27 |
since I don't use iceweasel/firefox regularly anyway, I prefer the |
| 28 |
konqueror-servicemenu solution for most of my youtube watching. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
But as I said, swfdec seemed to work way better than gnash for me, but it |
| 31 |
was very dependent on the right merge order for various packages, and I |
| 32 |
never resolved the magic packages and order necessary to remerge in to |
| 33 |
get it to work reliably when it broke. It worked at least on youtube |
| 34 |
100%, however, when it worked. But when it didn't, I didn't know what to |
| 35 |
do to fix it, except that eventually, it would start working again, when |
| 36 |
the order was again correct. |
