firefox, linux-flash, nspluginwrapper, and youtube?
When I play videos in youtube the audio slowly becomes out of sync with the video. Im using
firefox-2.0.0.16,1 linux-flashplugin-7.0r73_1 nspluginwrapper-1.0.0 Is this common with this combination? Last edited by neurosis; 28th July 2008 at 02:05 PM. |

I believe this is a common problem.
IMO the best solution to watch Youtube videos on FreeBSD is using clive (multimedia/clive)

Re: Clive
Can Clive get videos from urls like: 'mms://wm.nasa-global.speedera.net/wm.nasa-global/ccvideos/GSFC_20080715_COSvideo.wmv?SAMI=http://anon.nasa-global.edgesuite.net/anon.nasa-global/ccvideos/GSFC_20080715_COSvideo.smi'
That url originates from http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/videogallery/index.html |

I must have done something wrong. I installed
swfdec-0.6.8 Flash Rendering Library swfdec-plugin-0.6.0_1 Flash rendering plugin and when I go to youtube all I see is a black screen where the video should be playing. Is there a secret to get it working properly? Quote:

No, from the pkg-descr:

I don't believe it'll help you with MMS links, http://www.geocities.com/majormms/ has a "mms_client" package which may work.. you'll need to compile it, plus there is gmms @ sourceforge.
Other media players might be able to handle the links directly, it's quite appalling how NASA didn't make their new site vendor-neutral. |

youtube-dl Haven't used it for a while but always worked good. Played them using mplayer.
EDIT: Hmm. Didn't know clive did all that. youtube-dl just does youtube, unless something has changed. Last edited by drhowarddrfine; 28th July 2008 at 05:14 PM. |

I've come to the decision that the best flash option is swf-dec. That said, I have only tried it on ubuntu amd-64, and it is far from perfect; but adobe's flash player was unusable, as it regularly hung firefox, or just died, leaving me without flash until I restarted firefox (which I do approximately weekly).

Interesting, that's all I have installed too. It may not have been properly installed as a plugin for Firefox. You may want to look into that.

No, you can play Flash in native browsers by using nspluginwrapper and the Linux plugins. You can also use swfdec and gnash to get at least Flash 7 compatibility natively with certain features of 8 and 9.

I found this on a the redhat bugzilla
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, it all works for me now--video and audio--with the -ugly plugins and the gstreamer-ffmpeg package. Intel GM965 video card, no special settings in Xorg. (Why isn't gstreamer-ffmpeg called gstreamer-plugins-ffmpeg? I would have found it sooner then.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Im going to install the gstreamer-ffmpeg and the gstreamer-ulgy pkgs and see if it fixes the problem. I'll report later. ninjatux , One question. When you installed swfdec did you add the option "Support for decoding some codecs with GStreamer"? and if so, which gstreamer-plugins do you have installed?

I didn't select that item, but I do have the following installed.
Code:
===>>> gstreamer-0.10.20 ===>>> gstreamer-plugins-0.10.20_2,3

This is a bit OT, but is it just me or it is Flash 7 with native Opera 9.51 and nspluginwrapper's problem? I just tried installing them and it was very slow and laggy. It was unusable overall.
Its totally fine with native Firefox 3.0, btw
