The standard solution (with Linux flashplayer and linux-opera) works for me. But I'd like to be able to do it with gnash myself.

I was admittedly away from my computer for 3 months (hospitalization + physical therapy), but when I got back, gnash stopped working for me on youtube, it keeps on telling me to upgrade. I made sure I had the latest gnash installed into my firefox so I'm kinda at a loss to explain this (why the gnash port won't do that for me, and won't even offer a readme to help is quite beyond me). The default place for the port to install itself should be the place that works for other FreeBSD ports browsers. But you know what REALLY frosted me? I went to google to see if maybe this had been chewed over and fixed (I'm running FreeBSD-current, BTW), and I saw several videos whose title seemed to be promising, but where where they? Huh, they were on youtube. Geeze, if you can view those videos, you don't need the help, and if you do need the help, you're basically fucked. Anyone remember a book "Catch-22"? I needed to vent this. Oh, and if anyone on there has the magic formula to get youtube playing again, I'd appreciate a hint, but I'll continue to try to mine the mailing lists, this MUST have irritated others. _______________________________________________ freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-multimedia To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-multimedia-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
