Subject: [gentoo-user] OT: Flash+nspluginwrapper versus Gnash comparisons?
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2013 23:15:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131101031528.GA23386@waltdnes.org> (raw)
I'm getting rather annoyed with Firefox. I don't want to get into
that flamewar right now. I'm trying to migrate to UZBL. The latest git
version is a lot better than the stale stable version. The uzbl-9999
ebuild is broken (yes, I've filed a bug), so I pull directly from git
and build and install to ~/.local. It's a steep learning curve, and
I've gradually resolved almost every issue. The last reason to have
Firefox or Opera hanging around is Flash. I subscribe to NHL GameCenter
Live and Live365.com, so Flash functionality is mandatory for me.
The git version of UZBL requires a recent version of webkit, which
requires gtk3. Flash is a gtk2 program, so it doesn't work. I've heard
that the 2 options are...
1) Running Flash in nspluginwrapper
2) Using Gnash to replace Flash
How are people's experiences with the 2 options above?
