[Bug-gnash] [Bug 202391] Re: Cannot view AVM2 flash enabled pages

[David Ayers]

FWIW, I just tried http://ppa.launchpad.net/sparkers/ppa/ubuntu/ again
and I haven't found a single video (I believe that www.golem.de uses
AVM2 and as you already know the fall back doesn't work) that works on
maverick.  So unless I've got the wrong repository it seems that gnash
gives a far superior user experience.

  3) What is expected to happen is when one opens Firefox and goes to
  http://edition.cnn.com/video/ it plays the video.

  4) What happens instead is it does not. Notice if one secondary clicks
  the flash window -> click File -> Properties it states in Stage
  Properties Root VM Version AVM2 (unsupported)

  This is a known enhancement request upstream ->
