FL: Linux beta player 9

Hi Leute,
Für alle, die auch Linux benutzen, hier die lang
ersehnte 9er beta:
http://www.adobe.com/go/fp9_update_b1_installer_linuxplugin
Auf den ersten Blick sieht das sehr gut aus. Auch die
nervigen Soundbugs
des 7er players scheinen behoben zu sein.
längst überfällig, zumal die 8 ja ausgelassen
wurde.
hil

Wenn du Kubuntu benutzt reicht es wohl das in dem archiv
(.gz) ethaltene
file 'libflashplayer.so' nach ~/.mozilla/plugins/ zu kopieren
(~
steht f=C3=BCr dein home verzeichnis. vermutlich ist das
/home/harald :O))
In Ubuntu ist es /usr/lib/firefox/plugins (dort als root
hinkopieren)
Andere Distros haben manchmal auch /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
oder
usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins als speicherort f=C3=BCr das
ding. Einfach
erst schauen, wo das alte drin is :O)

Adobe: No Linux Flash Player Till 2007

Adobe: No Linux Flash Player Till 2007
By Stacy Cowley, CRN
2:25 PM EDT Fri. Sep. 01, 2006
Impatient Linux users will have to wait till the end of the
year for even a
preview release of Adobe's Flash Player 9.
The company's lead Flash for Linux engineer, Mike Melanson ,
reported this
week in his blog that Adobe won't release any alpha versions
of its Flash
port, holding out instead for a full-featured beta scheduled
for release
sometime late this year.
Adobe recently released a major Flash overhaul, version 9,
for Windows and
Macintosh clients. For Linux users, the release lengthened
the Flash gap
between them and other users: Adobe skipped Flash Player 8
for Linux and
hasn't released a Linux update since mid-2004. Because Flash
is not fully
backward-compatible, Web content developed for the newer
Flash players often
won't run in version 7, the most current Linux version.
Adobe's market
research shows that 86 percent of U.S. computer users are
able to view Flash
8 content.
"I have to question a cross-platform strategy that has a bias
against one
platform," RedMonk analyst Stephen O'Grady, a Linux user,
gripped in his
blog. The lack of a modern Flash player leaves him unable to
view content on
a number of Web sites, including major destinations like
ESPN.com.
An Adobe spokesman said the company expects a full release of
Flash Player 9
for Linux in early 2007. Because of the "short" cycle between
Flash Player 8
and 9 -- ten months -- Adobe opted to skip version 8 for
Linux and move
directly to version 9, he said.
Melanson's blog tracks the day-to-day progress and decisions
Adobe is making
on Flash for Linux. A full-time Linux user since 1999,
Melanson shares the
frustration of his comrades about Adobe's Linux lag.
"In September, 2005, I happened [across a blog that]
mentioned in passing
that Macromedia was looking for someone to port Flash Player
to Linux. I
applied for the job and now here I am," he posted.
"When I started at Adobe, I found out that there is a shadow
cabal of
engineers that very much want to see the current Flash Player
run on Linux,
and would even try their hand with the current codebase from
time to time.
But there are only so many hacking hours in the day."
>>

> It sounds to like Adobe are using outdated development
practices.
> The kinds of systems multiplatform developers use these
days
That's the point .. 'these days'.
Much of the problem is older code, must be over a decade old
now) which was
not well written. That is not an uncommon occurence in
products that have
such a long existence as flash player. Supported platforms,
development
techniques, developer guidelines, management etc all change
over the years
and things that seemed 'a good idea at the time' end up
becoming a problem.
In hindsight there would be many things that should have been
done
differently in the past .. but without a working time-machine
that cannot be
fixed, without an enormous investment in development to
rewrite the code
base in a manner that can be more easily ported .. which is
what is
happening.
Also the low level optimisations required for such
cpu-intense real-time
graphic processing are difficult to port, as they rely on
optimised assembly
code for different cpus and chipsets
And further there is the issue of different operating systems
and libraries
to link against on different platforms.
> nightly/daily automated builds
Anyone who thinks supporting new platforms its just a matter
of re-building
or doing daily builds is naive. There is no indication that
Adboe does not
make use of these practices. But continuous integration and
nightly builds
are only tools to maintain a port once it is done .. it
doesn't help you DO
the port in the first place.
> From a marketing point of view you want a simultaneous
release on all
> platforms
I'm sure Adobe DO want simulataneous release .. if it were
possible. But
that is not possible if the software is not ported to all the
platforms.
With it ported to the platforms the vast majority of people
use (windows and
mac) it makes sense to release the newer versions that are
required in order
to release other major revenue-earning products like Flex.
That is a valid
and sound marketting and financial decision.

You simply cannot get the performance demanded using
intrinsics.

It may be worth your while reading the blogs by the adobe
developers where
they discuss the issues and get feedback from people such as
yourself.

that the customer

Exactly .. so MM/Adobe got the player out as quickly as
possible for the
majority of their customers. Making EVERYONE have to wait
while the player
was ported to all the other minority platforms would NOT have
been good for
the majority.
As they say .. you can't please all the people all the time.
You have to
pick you battles.
> In particular where websites are concerned you want to
get access

Exactly .. and FlashPlayer penetration and usage stats reveal
that it IS
availble to the vast majority of users and moreso than most
other
multi-media technologies

Have you even looked at all the figures (which you don't seem
to believe
anyway) .. its worldwide and broken down into regions.

Its only significant when you are part of it :) The vast
majority of
people, and those with the money to spend, are using Windows
and Mac.
That's where the customer base is.

I'm sure they won't .. which is why they are still activly
porting to other
platforms.
I would much rather see them take the time to do it right,
rather than let
quality slip in order to rush out a half-done product to
satisfy the demands
of the few.

Linux Flash Player 10.2 Projector points to 10.1

Hi!
When I go to http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html and go to download the Linux Flash Player 10.2 Projector, the downloaded flashplayer_10_sa.tar.gz file, contains the projector 10.1 which has a date of October 22, 2010.

Wizard_13-
You can get the new 10.2 linux Projector and debug Projector in the 10.2 archive located at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
Just download the 'Release and Content Debugger' archive for 10.2.152.26 with a date of 2/8/2011. Once you unzip/uncompress the archive you navigate to the linux folder and retrieve either release or debug Projector.

Will there be a 'Pepper' Linux Flash Player available from Google for versions after 11.2?

Adobe has stated that:
"For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plugin for Linux will only be available via the “Pepper” API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe. "
To me this sounds like going forward, after 11.2, all Linux Flash Players will be released by Google as part of Chrome using Pepper and not by Adobe - but that there will be Linux Flash Players after 11.2, its just that they are only available in Chrome. However most people in the community seem to have interpreted this to mean 11.2 is the last Linux Flash Player ever other than 5 years of security updates from Adobe. Could an Adobe employee please clarify? Will there be Linux Flash Players, via Pepper and Chrome, for 11.3, 11.4. ...12 and so on? This is crutially important for those using the Flash Player within the embeded Linux market.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Linux Flash Player woes with hardware acceleration

I am trying to get hardware accelerated Youtube video on my Ubuntu 10.04 box. There is nothing unusual about the hardware: Intel C2D, 945G chipset, and nVidia GT210 graphics. (also tried 9600GT and GT440 without success). The OS, nVidia driver, and libvdpau have been kept up-to-date thru Update Manager and Synaptic . But among Flash Player 10.3, 11.0, 11.1, and 11.2 beta that I have tried, none can work consistently with video rendering and video decoding enabled by having "EnableLinuxHWVideodecode=1" to /etc/adobe/mms.cfg. It doesn't matter which version of Firefox I use, or whether the libflashplayer.so is placed in local plugins directory or global.
- Flash Player 10.3 is perfect until it reaches the end of the clip. Click on Replay at that time, the player rewinds and starts to play. But there is only audio. The video window becomes solid black.
- Flash Player 11.0 and 11.1 have no accelerated video rendering until I go full screen. Once with accelerated rendering, they have the same problem with replay as 10.3.
- Flash Player 11.2 beta crashes frequently when I switch video size from the default 360p to something else, or change player mode from default small player to full screen.
11.2 beta seems to be free from the replay issue. But I cannot try enough videos to be certain because usualy it crashes before reaching the end of clips. As 10.3, 11.0, and maybe even 11.1 are already legacy, my only hope is Adobe can make the 11.2 stable for Linux before it is locked down for release. Am I alone on this or there are other Linux users out there having similar problems?
Thanks

Hi Alex1113,
Thanks for your reply and filing of bug 3077372. I searched the BugBase and found another recent report (https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3075575) on 11.2_p3 crash. It happens when switching to "Larger Player" video size. Since I have seen both types of problems, I voted for both ID 3077372 and 3075575 with comments instead of filing duplicated reports.
To others,
The crash seems to be rather gneric. So far it has been reported for Fedora 14, Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 11.10, 32-bit, and 64-bit. I believe it should happen to other configurations with both hardware render and decoding enabled. Please add your votes to raise the priorities of those bugs. Hopefully we will draw enough attention to have them fixed in the next beta.
Thanks,
Franklin

64-Bit Linux Flash Player

There used to be a 64-bit pre-release version for Firefox on Linux. I went to the prerelease site, and there was no download link. There was a reference to the forum, but the forum was marked closed. This doesn't sound like committment to me? Is there a timeline for the 64-bit version, running two browsers is useless because of the combined plugins hierarchy in use. It's really the only thing holding up my using lots of sites (i.e. Safari Books Online) because of the site crashing my browser. Currently I use the 32-bit plugin through a wrapper for a 64-bit browser.

By "running fine", flashplayer 10.1 32-bit linux library may require some "massaging" to actually get it working.
E.G. on Debian Lenny 64-bit using 32-bit firefox 3.6.8 it requires at least these Lenny 32-bit emulation packages:
    ia32-libs
    ia32-libs-gtk
(this has been pretty well established for a while)
*Plus* you'lll have to grab the following libraries from a 32-bit Lenny system:
:/usr/local/firefox-3.6.8_i386$ ls -l *curl* *idn*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     19 2010-06-24 14:57 libcurl-gnutls.so.3 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     23 2010-06-24 14:57 libcurl-gnutls.so.4 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.1.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 233992 2009-08-17 19:41 libcurl-gnutls.so.4.1.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     12 2010-06-07 10:22 libcurl.so.3 -> libcurl.so.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 2010-06-07 10:22 libcurl.so.4 -> libcurl.so.4.1.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 271524 2010-03-26 23:27 libcurl.so.4.1.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    801 2008-06-06 21:29 libidn.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 2010-02-26 07:01 libidn.so.11 -> libidn.so.11.5.37
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 200280 2008-06-06 21:29 libidn.so.11.5.37
and plop them in the top level firefox install directory to get it working. Otherwise you only see messages like
    "Adobe Flash Player error: could not load cURL library"
(Not terribly helpful)
This is in contrast to the 10.0 beta 64-bit flashplayer lib that worked fabulously (i had no issues with it ever, which can't be said of the 32-bit one).
I wonder just how difficult it would have been to fix it for the latest exploits, as they'd done for the 10.x beta 64-bit linux flashplayer previously for security issues?
This failure by the industry to fully support 64-bit applications is getting pretty pathetic by this point.

Custom Client-Side Video Codec for Standard Linux Flash Player

I'm new to Flash development, so please excuse my naivete. I'd like to have the standard Linux Adobe Flash player use an experimental client-side H.264 codec I am working on when playing FLV media (even if embedded within an SWF file) instead of the standard one bundled with the player. Is there any way to accomplish that?
Thanks,
Brian McGann

The problem, at least in my case, was QtCurve's opacity. If I have opacity set to less than 100%, flash would not display for sites like Youtube and Vimeo, but worked elsewhere.
The solution for me was to go into qtcurve's settings, and put npviewer.bin in the application exceptions section for window and menu opacity. Doing that, I was able to keep my transparent menus, and also use flash everywhere.
You can find out what the application name is by launching your browser of choice in a terminal with qtcurve debug turned on, like so:
QTCURVE_DEBUG=1 firefox
If you watch through the lines that start with "QtCurve" you'll see "Application name". Look for the one that shows up when you try to load a video. In my case it was npviewer.bin. In yours, it might be nspluginviewer or something else. If you add an exception for that specific application, you'll fix your problem without having to compromise on your theme.

Myth II: Soulblighter Linux Beta Testing

Myth II: Soulblighter has gotten its fair share of updates for Windows and Mac operating systems throughout the years. The Linux version (1.3e) ported by Loki Software has been outdated and is not compatible with the latest version (1.7.2) of the Windows and Mac builds for the game. If anyone is interested in testing the Myth II v1.7.2 Linux build go to these Myth related forums and reply to that thread.
Keep in mind, you still need a full installation of the game to be able to run the updated Linux version being tested. It can be an installation copied from a different OS or even using the old Loki version. Also, since this Linux build is compatible with the Windows and Mac builds, you will be able to play online with other players at: http://mariusnet.com

Well I'm not surprised that some people jump on anything Suse does, it annoys me no one wants to mention the good they do, do.
They sponsor a lot of development for a lot of things, shame rather than sniping at other distros we can't just work together and agree to disagree. Whilst we may disagree with bits I bet we use a fair few bits that are/have been sponsored by Novell/Suse. SCO....
I also think there development model is quite unique/minority to which this thesis does a good job of showing. http://janfredrik.wordpress.com/master-thesis/

Siobhan O'Mahony's research finds that these firms have to handle a tension between openness and control in their product development, but little research has been done to detail how this balance is achieved.

A better player

hi, i have aGB muvo tx fm player and i wish to get something a little better, and i want to go creative of course.
all i really care about is the quality of the sound, nothing else. couldn't give a toss if it has a radio or not, i've never used the one i have now.
GB or 2GB would be fine, and a flash memory.
I just want to be able to actually notice the difference in sound from mine.
as far as price goes, up to say $50.
thanks.

Ratboy,
You might want to take a look at the MuVo T200 player. It's one of the newer MuVo players out there. If there a retail store near where you are staying you might want to check it out to see if you like what you are hearing.

How do you create linux flash player crash log?

I saw the post on Adobe about how to create crash logs on Windows XP & Vista (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408620.html#configure) but do not see any way to do this on Mac OSX or Linux distros. Also will the debug standalone flash players create crash logs?
Is it possible to create crash logs for flashplayer using OSX or linux? If so can someone provide the instructions?
Thanks,
Sean

My swf is crashing in XP too but can you only generate a crash log from the IE plugin (active-x control) or can the standalone player generate a crash log?
Thanks for replying about crash logs on linux.
Thanks,
Sean

OCA Oracle Linux (Beta) 1Z1-100 - nobody took it?

I am a former UNIX/Linux admin, but stopped my job in this field 5-7 years ago. I took without preparation and updated know-how Oracle Linux 5 and 6 System Administrator" (OCA) Certification Exam (1Z1-100).
Nobody other? Any reviews and field reports from exam? Couldn't find with search function.

I didn't take this exam and have no plans to take the beta. I will be taking the production version soon after it comes out. You'll know if the beta received few takers if they extend the end date past December 14th. I took the Linux Essentials exam, which has about 50% of the topics in 1Z0-100. I reviewed that exam here:
Oracle 1ZO-460: The Essence of Oracle Linux 6 | GoCertify
I'm not really sure what information you're looking for. Once I take 1Z0-100, I'll certainly create a review similar to the above one. That won't be for something like 16 weeks... assuming the beta ends as currently scheduled.

10.1 linux standalone player

I was wondering if a standalone version of Flash Player 10.1 for linux will be released?
I know the Emmy Huang acknowledged (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/525703) standalone 10.1 will be made available with the tools, but the Flash IDE is not made for linux.
If indeed it will be released will it be available at the same time as the standalone versions for Windows and Mac OSX?

Linux standalone Flash Player 10.1 was released on 06/10/2010 and can be found at http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html.
