I supposes version compatabilitty is a constant moving target. It's what I've been wondering, whether http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16252407 used a newer flash format than youtube.com. (But I could not find a URL on BBC to download to inspect) Gary J cc'd told me of existence of /usr/ports/www/youtube_dl (as flash if downloaded then playable with vlc & mplayer & inspectable with 'file' etc). I suppose ideally I need a bbc_dl port :-) Maybe the 3 www/*_dl will give me clues. > You'd do *much* better to install > www/linux-f10-flashplugin11 and www/nspluginwrapper.

I wasn't particularly targeting youtube, I never browsed it till now, though they do have some FreeBSD talks to watch. I was just looking for a source solution to random periodic flash references I get in mail, & happened to notice gnash. > See > http://www.youtube.com/html5 That lists firefox 4, not in ports-cur/ Thanks for the info :-). > HTH > -- > Conrad J.
