By copying the plugin to /usr/share/ubufox/plugins, I was able to
get Ubuntu's firefox to see it. (I guess they configure this
directory in the .dsc file for the Ubuntu packages.)
The Gnash plugin's About box needs a 2009 copyright update.
Also gnash --version. (Anyplace else? The documentation?)
It does indeed create saved media files when I go to youtube. Great!
But totem is unable to play those files, reporting:
** Message: Error: Internal data stream error.
gstflvdemux.c(528): gst_flv_demux_loop (): /play/decodebin1/flvdemux1:
stream stopped, reason error
Perhaps the saved stream isn't quite a valid FLV file?
I tried to get it to save an MPEG4 by going to the Internet Archive, e.g.:
http://www.archive.org/details/poetry_in_motion_clip
But gnash doesn't succeed in running the Archive's flash player (I
didn't diagnose why).
Perhaps the saved media should have a filename extension based on
the codec type (e.g. "get_video12.flv").
As an aside, a few bugs in the youtube player:
* The youtube movie's fullscreen button doesn't go full screen. But
gnash can clearly do it, since the Gnash "Toggle full screen"
menu item works.
* After a video is done, the subwindow gets a frequently refreshing
view of two other available videos. However, you can't click on
these to go to the video. And there's a problem with the visibility
of the static photo shown from the video -- it comes in, fades
to black as the video titles paint, stays black, and then suddenly
reappears as the title display fades out.
