[Bug-gnash] [Bug 202391] Re: Cannot view AVM2 flash enabled pages

[Christopher M. Penalver]

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: mozilla-plugin-gnash
+ Binary package hint: browser-plugin-gnash
  
- Some flash video pages such as cnn.com do not work with the free flash
- player.  The message received is:
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description: Ubuntu 10.10
+ Release: 10.10
  
- This CNN.com feature is optimized for Adobe Flash Player version 8 or
- higher.
+ 2) apt-cache policy browser-plugin-gnash

- Shouldn't the free player "fake out" an equivalent version number so
- this doesn't happen?  Unfortunately, it limits the usefulness of the
- free flash player.
+ 3) What is expected to happen is when one opens Firefox and goes to
+ http://edition.cnn.com/video/ it plays the video.
  
- For example, browse to:
- http://edition.cnn.com/video/
+ 4) What happens instead is it does not. Notice if one secondary clicks
+ the flash window -> click File -> Properties it states in Stage
+ Properties Root VM Version AVM2 (unsupported)
+ 
+ This is a known enhancement request upstream ->
+ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnash-dev/2010-10/msg00054.html
+ 
+ This bug's importance should be marked Wishlist.
