Lightspark 0.4.4.2 released


Another week, another bug­fix release for Lightspark! Apart from restor­ing the sup­port for YouTube this release fea­tures the new plu­gin based audio frame­work that makes it pos­si­ble to sup­port other back­ends beside PulseAu­dio. At the moment both an ALSA and Ope­nAL plu­g­ins are being worked on.

As always you can grab the release here on Launch­pad

    Can I remove Flash now and install Lightspark? In other words, sta­ble enough for youtube/vimeo/ect?

  • Lin­ux­op­jemac

    any news about the portage to PowerPC ?

  • apig­notti

    It plays flu­ently most (all?) of youtube videos, we are work­ing to improve com­pat­i­bil­ity with other sites.

  • apig­notti

    The dev work­ing on the port is now busy with some real life stuff. If any­one is will­ing to help he can drop by the IRC channel.

  • chrishar­ring­tonjp

    Some­one is actu­ally doing that? Awe­some... I assumed this project was x86 only.

  • chrishar­ring­tonjp

    Do you have a link or pointer or any other info regard­ing using the plu­gin with Chromium? Installing the browser-plugin-lightspark pack­age had no effect. Should it just work or do I need to dig into con­fig files somewhere?

  • apig­notti

    The code is writ­ten is stan­dard C++ and is com­pletely portable besides some spe­cial­ized high per­for­mance code paths writ­ten in assem­bly that needs port­ing. Apart that some fixes are needed as there are endi­an­ness assump­tions in the pars­ing code that are wrong on a Big Endian architecture

  • apig­notti

    Type about:plugins in the address bar and you’ll see the avail­able plu­g­ins. Lightspark should be there. Be sure to enable only one plu­gin to han­dle swf content

  • Lin­ux­op­jemac

    Can you let me know when there is a first beta for PPC please ?

  • apig­notti

    Stay tuned, I will announce that on this blog as any other Lightspark news.

  • chrishar­ring­tonjp

    Yes, I assumed that nobody would be bril­liant enough to attempt to port the assem­bly bits. Outstanding.

  • chrishar­ring­tonjp

    OK, I only get the “Default Plu­gin” so I guess it has to do with the fact I’m using Chromium 7.0.523.0 (59195). There are other odd­i­ties with this ver­sion such as Ctrl-B not work­ing. I guess I’ll behave and go back to using a “nor­mal” version.

  • powered_by_tux

    Yay for any non-PulseAudio backend!

  • blaw

    i cant com­pile :[ im stuck with this error:

    no match­ing func­tion for call to ‘llvm::FunctionPassManager::FunctionPassManager(llvm::Module*&)’

  • apig­notti

    You have to use llvm-2.7

  • blaw

    i have it.. im using debian sid

  • apig­notti

    Be also sure to remove the legacy llvm pack­age. ver­sion 2.6 and 2.7 are allowed to live togheter
