Fresh Player Plugin and Mozilla Firefox Aurora

From the AUR I've installed the PepperFlash plugin and the Fresh Player plugin. Then in Firefox Aurora, installed from heftig's(sp?) user repo, nothing works. As expected `about:plugins` lists two insances of Shockwave Flash, though the first instance is listed as version 13.1.2.3, not 14.0.0.125 as I would have expected.

Does the original repo version of the Flash Player plugin need to be uninstalled? Edit: I've tried uninstalling flashplayer, still no flash loading, also any pages requiring flash are extremely slow. Something buggy is going on me thinks.

Re: Fresh Player Plugin and Mozilla Firefox Aurora

Does it work with the default Firefox from the official repos?

Basic flash support worked for me with firefox stable the last time I tried. I removed it after I found out the clipboard did not work.

Re: Fresh Player Plugin and Mozilla Firefox Aurora

With both flash player and fresh player installed, using the official firefox still doesn't work. I got an error on the YouTube page that the following script was hanging `https://s.ytimg.com/yts/jsbin/www-en_US-vfl218s2k/base.js:33`. Even after clicking stop script the firefox process is continuing to use 100% CPU.

Don't use both at once! Disable one and stick with it.

Don't worry about that, that value is hardcoded in the freshplugin wrapper: https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerp … ntry.c#L53

For my experiences, I've had mixed results with this plugin/wrapper. It works quite well on a radeon-powered desktop with firefox-esr-bin, but is next-to unusable on a much more powerful nvidia-powered desktop with iceweasel. Unfortunately I've not had time to diagnose where the problem lies, but it's worth mentioning that this project is very much in alpha state, and is undergoing rapid development. For this reason, I'd recommend that you use the -git version of the wrapper over the "stable" version, and rebuild regularly.

Thanks, installing the -git version seems to have worked.

Edit: well not completely fixed, BBC iPlayer freezes when I click the fullscreen button.
