It was a reference to me not reading.

only been using a few hours, but no problems here

skottish · 2008-11-17 21:52:36

I noticed that some things that didn't work before with nspluginwrapper do now. For instance, Google's street view is functioning.

Is it possible to configure this not to autoplay/autoload? It doesn't seem to respect my NoScript settings like Flash does on my old 32-bit system.
It does here. I had to allow both youtube.com and ytimg.com to watch vids on Youtube as usual. Are you sure you didn't accidently create exceptions for the sites you checked. Worked on both NoScript 1.8.4.1 and after update to 1.8.5.

Thanks for the reply Inkaine. That was it. I was so sure that I hadn't whitelisted it that I didn't check. I must have done it by accident when setting temporary permissions.

Yes, but sadly it conflicts with nspluginwrapper, which is not only needed for flash 32bit but also for the Acrobat Reader plugin. I repackeged flashplugin and commented out the conflicts line myself but maybe it'd be better to have it conflict with nspluginwrapper-flash only.

Happens to me all to often. That's why I right away proposed that.

It works pretty well here using ~20% of one core when playing YouTube videos. I did have to rmmod teh snd_pcsp module before or else the browser crashed.

Installed from [testing] (I enabled testing just for this ) and it seems to work good so far, thanks Adobe Now just for a Java plugin (OpenJDK doesn't quite work yet for what I need), but I heard that's coming with JRE 6u12

Dheart · 2008-11-18 07:18:59

I suppose that flashplayer should be moved to extra or community
1) So far it hasn't crashed for me.
2) It's not like x86_64 users got other alternative (except ndiswrapper which as noted uses more resources)
3) Whoever doesn't want it, won't install it.

EDIT: Also I think the aur package who install the configuration file is better than the testing one...

Yes but it doesn't work with konqueror 4.1.3.

Yes, for you, it may not have. But that alone is no reason to push it to extra. And it's there to check if there are incompatibilities etc. etc. Just check my above comment about it conflicting with nspluginwrapper or others complaining about konqueror... There are plenty of different configs where problems may arise.

I think you have to take into account that packaged distribution and providing a PKGBUILD in AUR is something different. In AUR each user builds the pkg him- or herself thus downloading the binary pre-compiled flash plugin from Adobe's server. In extra we'd all get it inside a ready-to-go package but it has not been compiled by the author of the package (compared to all other packages there). Not sure if but it may be a licensing issue even. It would be stealing other ppls work and claiming as your own, if you understand what I mean. My guess that this is the main reason for the package not providing the plugin inside the pkg but downloading it during post-install.

litemotiv · 2008-11-18 11:27:41

Hmm, it seems that with the compiled OSS4 library my pc won't shutdown anymore after playing flash content. It just keeps saying "Shutting down Open Sound System" and nothing is able kill it...

warlord · 2008-11-18 11:57:41

Maybe we will have to wait for at least a beta version

cu3edweb · 2008-11-18 13:48:41

Not a crash yet. Works great here

And this config file is not something ... irrelavant that I or the creator just imagined. There are IT guides for mms.cfg on adobe's site.

Right, that and also wine. I sometimes have to develop flash applications and have to stick to Adobe Flash IDE. So I would need also a wine64.
At the moment these are two main motivations that are keeping me from install arch64. I use to convert videos quite often and major speed would be a main benefit of a 64bit platform. I know that I could install lib32 stuff but I don't like that approach. I would like a clean 64bit environment.

Well, we are not talking about FOSS but still I think these are great news.

Works perfectly. 4% cpu usage tops.

Though adobe did change the window class and now I have to change my xmonad settings to get full screen to float again >_<

thisperishedmin · 2008-11-18 15:07:39

Great news...looking forward to trying this out.

sen · 2008-11-18 18:02:42

Really nice, took adobe long enough to release it.
Nothing bad to report here, works just fine and is also a great speed improvement (compared to nspluginwrapper)!

You could just make a virtual machine for Windows XP and then you would be able to run CS3 and all that jazz without a problem. They have 64-bit versions of VirtualBox, I don't know about VM-Ware. But, it would probably be easier than using Wine and CS2.

As for flash64, it's working great! Not a hiccup yet.

mrunion · 2008-11-18 19:50:54

Yup, Flash64 worked fine for me. I installed it last night on my x86_64 desktop and spank the Flash stuff all evening -- worked just fine!

You know. I should really consider that option.

fatblueduck · 2008-11-18 23:31:49

Thanks for the flash64 package

ArchArael,

I recommend it virtualbox.

For everyone struggling with ossv4 support, use libflashsupport-oss. This works with the oss from the repos:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20327

Grab noise-fix-hg.diff from the CVS link, and use this PKGBUILD:

pkgname="libflashsupport-oss"
pkgver="4.1_rc2"
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="Open Sound System UNIX audio architecture support for Flash plugin"
arch=('x86_64')
url="http://developer.opensound.com/"
license=('GPL2')
depends=('oss' 'flashplugin')
conflicts=('libflashsupport' 'libflashsupport-pulse')
provides=('libflashsupport')
source=('http://www.4front-tech.com/developer/sources/testing/gpl/oss-v4.1-buildrc2-src-gpl.tar.bz2' 
        'noise-fix-hg.diff')
md5sums=('27d9b47f2e4c190f3f61d538538d7289' 
         '2b78cbc4fdc38512ed35bd6d8caedea5')

build() {
    _dir="oss-v4.1-buildrc2-src-gpl"

    cd "${srcdir}/${_dir}/oss/lib"
    patch -b -p3 < "${srcdir}/noise-fix-hg.diff" || return 1
    gcc -shared -fPIC -O2 -Wall -Werror flashsupport.c -o libflashsupport.so || return 1

    install -Dm755 libflashsupport.so "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/libflashsupport.so"
}

I filed a feature request to have this added for 64 bit.
