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

[Xavier Guillot]

That's right, I am the reporter of the bug for Lightspark with Youtube 
and fallback to Gnash not working.

So for the moment, in my configuration, with Ubuntu 11.04 beta2 64, 
Gnash 0.8.9 and Lightspark 0.4.6.1, it does not work for AVM2.

But what I wanted to tell is that, if I understand well (source is the 
french Ubuntu documentation wiki : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/gnash), 
Gnash has definitively abandoned AVM2 support, work will be done by 
Lightspark, and normally both should have a fallback to other one in 
case of unsupported format.

So if it is true, this specifically bug won't fix, and it is necessary 
to ask it for Lightspark.

  3) What is expected to happen is when one opens Firefox and goes to
  http://edition.cnn.com/video/ it plays the 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 ->
