==== Description: ====
This is a userscript that runs inside a browser. It examins web pages for
flash objects with video links. It uses regular expressions, so it usually
works in places not strictly programed. The objects are replaced by HTML
<object> tag that initialises browser video plugin such as vlc, totem, xine,
gecko-mediaplayer.  Home page: http://e-valkov.org/linterna-magica

==== Other Comments: ====
The project home page explicitly states that non-free software (OS, browser,
plugins etc)  will not be fixed or supported.

gecko-mediaplayer requires mplayer which is free software, but recommends
non-free binary only codecs. The project home page has note about that. At
least one free software distribution (Trisquel) has a clean version of
mplayer.
