I'm running swfdec (freedomware flash, was in the Sunrise overlay, don't know if it still is or if it moved into the main tree by now) on 64-bit firefox here. Of course, it's not a full latest version implementation yet, but it does work on YouTube, which uses an older flash version, and I've been enjoying catching up on what everyone else has been raving about for awhile. The thing is, apparently there's some sort of timing issue with the way the youtube pages load, as sometimes they detect swfdec as flash, sometimes they don't, but when they don't, I can reload the page and they usually do. If not, I reload again... So it's interesting that someone running real flash seems to be experiencing somewhat similar issues. If it's the same thing, then it's not particularly that it doesn't work after Yahoo, but that sometimes the pages detect it and sometimes they don't. Why, I haven't delved into, but that seems to be the case. Try refreshing the page a few times, and if it's the same problem I've had on youtube with swfdec, it'll detect the flash somewhat over 50% of the time, probably ~60-75% of the time, or at least that's been my experience here. > I'm thinking that for win32codecs the quicktime use flag isn't supported > in the version from portage, but I'm not sure what the (-quicktime%) > indication really means. Does that mean the quicktime falg has been > 'recently removed' from win32codecs? I see it's actually (-quicktime%*). The negative parenthesis/percent can indicate a masked flag as well, but the asterisk indicates a recent change. Thus, it's indicating either that it was recently masked (unlikely) or that your current version has the flag, but the new version you'd be merging no longer has the quicktime flag. If it's something you care about, that's when you do an emerge --pretend --changelog win32codecs and see if the flag change is mentioned in the changelog. Often, it will be. (Occasionally portage's --changelog functionality won't work, and you'll have to manually view the changelog at, for this package, $PORTDIR/media-libs/win32codecs/Changelog, opening it in an editor or catting it to the screen or whatever.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
