A mail from strk to Gnash development mailing lists announces what many of us were waiting for. I’ve put some newer packages available, built against Etch, in case someone wants to try them. I’ve changed the renderer to AGG instead of OpenGL, which is preferable, and the media player to GStreamer instead of FFmpeg, because FFmpeg is still giving some problems. It seems that we’re closer to the next release!

Thank you this is exciting

I know the OLPC will ship with Gnash, but I wonder when major Linux distros will ship with it by default. That would stop people from complaining to Linux distros about Adobe’s closed source program not working on their 64 bit machine..

[...] Leo en el blog de Miriam Ruiz sobre los nuevos resultados prácticos reproduciendo un vídeo de YouTube con Gnash. Si estás deseoso de probarlo, Miriam ha preparado los correspondientes paquetes para Debian Etch. Parece ser que pronto será posible usar una herramienta libre para una actividad monopolizada por soluciones cerradas. [...]

Having youtube support out of the box without compromising freedom is excellent! Nice job all around!

Hola Miriam!

He probado los paquetes sobre Sid y no me han funcionado

Carga el flash, pero el video no se visualiza. Ahora mismo no tengo una Etch accesible, crees que puede ser ese el problema?

PD: Probé el paquete del frets on fire y va de lujo, comentando la linea 240 del archivo “/usr/share/games/fretsonfire/game/Svg.py”. Gracias!

Instalando gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 y gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg se soluciona el problema

Discupla… -_-

De nada! Me alegra escuchar eso

Espero que el paquete de FoF este listo pronto, aun queda por solucionar algunas cosillas, entre ellas decidir que hacer con las fuentes, y por cuales sustituirlas en caso de que sea necesario, asi como eliminar las canciones, ya que no son libres de acuerdo con las DFSG, como ya comente alguna vez (teosto et. al). Si tengo tiempo a ver si consigo terminar tambien el paquete ultrastar-ng.

Two approaches to Flash: The free software community has two independent projects working toward the implementation of a free Flash player: Gnash and swfdec. There has been some talk recently about these two projects, their goals, their accomplishments, and whether it makes sense to have them both. In an effort to bring more light to the situation, LWN held a conversation with the principal developers of both projects.
