Ok. By the way I found that the lastest DirectFB sup­ports some sub­set of OpenGL prim­i­tives (run­ning over mesa). I’ll run a pro­file on this and check what hap­pens and write to you.

If Adobe ever wants to, they can pro­vide another plu­gin which this one can inter­face with and get those DRM (or what­ever encryption/data protection/copyright infringe­ment pre­ven­tion scheme they’re using) videos and dis­play them.

I per­son­ally never liked that any­way. If peo­ple want those videos badly enough to copy them some odd way, then they can always play the video full screen and cap­ture the image with some screen scrub­bing pro­gram, or a video cam­era. I don’t like that peo­ple do it, but I don’t like them (Adobe, or com­pa­nies using their products/solutions) pre­vent­ing me from watch­ing those videos just because some­one else is break­ing the law, either.

dont want to be an ass­hole but noth­ing really works

There’s a strange “0.4.2.1″ release for Fedora i686. My x86_64 install tries to upgrade 0.4.2 to that, installing i686 libraries and remov­ing the essen­tial advan­tage between Lightspark and Flash (apart from its open source status)

Fun try­ing on Ubuntu 10.10 with xorg-edgers ppa, libgl1-mesa-dri-gallium, and nou­veau. There are ran­domly drawn tri­an­gles and the video and sound skips, but at least you can tell that progress is being made. I can’t wait until all these things become more sta­ble and fin­ished; I’m start­ing to get excited. ^.^

I would guess that if I was using the nvidia binary dri­ver I wouldn’t have the issue with the tri­an­gles, since I was play­ing free­doom (just to test a game using nou­veau and opengl) and when I set the graph­ics to opengl, it had the same issue.

Thanks for the report, there are some issues with the nou­veau dri­ver, but the nvidia pro­pri­etary should be fine. Please report a full bug reports on launch­pad, detail­ing your sys­tem sw/hw con­fig­u­ra­tion, as it’s hard to track reports in the com­ments. Thanks

See the http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lightspark/wik... page. For an exam­ple of what works see http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lightspark/wik.... If the listed sam­ples does not work file a bug on launch­pad detail­ing your sys­tem con­fig­u­ra­tion. Thanks

Wasn’t really meant to be a bug report as much as my per­sonal expe­ri­ence and a show of support.

If I did file a bug, what would I include (aside from the sw/hw info)?
