YouTube videos now show up for one second in linux-opera but then the plugin hangs like before with the same "plugin not responding" message on the terminal. On another site with Flash it hung linux-opera up in the "pipdwc" state according to top. linux-firefox and linux-firefox-devel both still crash. I also tried nspluginwrapper this time with native Firefox 3 as J.R. said. It doesn't crash like the Linux Firefoxes but hangs the browser for a couple minutes (eventually does recover, but Flash doesn't play) and these appear on the terminal: ----- *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPP_DestroyStream() wait for reply: Message timeout *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPP_URLNotify() invoke: Message timeout *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPP_Destroy() invoke: Message timeout *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NP_Shutdown() invoke: Message timeout *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPP_Write() wait for reply: Message timeout *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPP_DestroyStream() invoke: Message timeout ----- Thanks again, -Mark -- Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941)
