Details:

*gnash* 0.8.10 installed from backports on *debian stable* (6, squeeze) on
*powerpc* (ibook, g4, early 2004) with *iceweasel* 3.5.16 as the browser.

_though not tested with writelauncher as below, 0.8.8 also died with a grey
screen upon pressing the play button of the video player. 0.8.8 is the version
native to debian 6 squeeze._

When playing video from youtube or facebook, I can get as far as the player
with the buttons and progress meter across the bottom, but clicking play, the
screen goes grey and that's the end of things.

Following instructions provided by strk on the #gnash irc channel allowed me
to come up with the information that follows.

0 quit all instances of iceweasel.
0 start iceweasel from command line: 
 ** "GNASH_OPTIONS=writelauncher iceweasel &"

0 try to play a video
0 run the scripts /tmp/gnash-debug-[1-5].sh that are generated

The results of running the scripts are as follows:

_/tmp/gnash-debug-1.sh_
Opened a standalone gnash window with only a title bar and menu bar.

_/tmp/gnash-debug-2.sh_
Opened nothing but gave the error "Error: invalid url"

_/tmp/gnash-debug-3.sh_
Opened a window as for script 1 above except this window also had a screen
area.

_/tmp/gnash-debug-4.sh_
Opened nothing but gave the error "Error: invalid url"

_/tmp/gnash-debug-5.sh_
Opened a window  as in 3 with player controls visible and a frame of the video
visible.  Clicking play briefly started the little circle of turning dots
telling me to wait, however, before anything played, the window disappeared
with a seg fault and the following output on the console: 


[swscaler @ 0x49612000] ALTIVEC: Color Space RGB24
Segmentation fault



The scripts /tmp/gnash-debug-[2-5].sh are attached to this bug report.  As I
can only attach 4 files, the script /tmp/gnash-debug-1.sh, the shortest, is
quoted here (it's 3 lines but the last one wrapped): 


#!/bin/sh
export GNASH_COOKIES_IN=/tmp/gnash-cookies.7696
/usr/bin/gtk-gnash -U 'http://www.youtube.com/' -P 'allowfullscreen=false' -P
'allowscriptaccess=always' -P 'bgcolor=#FFFFFF' -P 'flashvars=enablejsapi=1'
-P 'height=1' -P 'id=masthead_child' -P
'src=//s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/masthead_child-vflRMMO6_.swf' -P
'type=application/x-shockwave-flash' -P 'width=1'
'http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/masthead_child-vflRMMO6_.swf' $@
