Adobe Flash

[vinceASPECT]

Hello

just trying to get some help here with Adobe FLash.

i am running the tiny core  4.3.1 ...just a standard CD booting up.

i have an old copy of Flash10.  It's compiled for Alsa sound together with it's md5 file and it's worked fine
in the past on 4.3.1

However, recently it's proving more difficult for me to get it working on a blank fresh system

my method

1) boot 4.3.1 from cd.
2) install Alsa sound from the App browser
3) run alsa sound and try it with some music (works fine)
4) download and install a browser like  "QtWeb"  (fine)
5) Run "QtWeb" from the command line and test a web page and close  ( works fine)
6) Copy my flash files (Flash10.tcz and Flash10.tcz,dep) into my TCE directory. (works fine)    tmp/tce/optional
7) Do an apps audit and tell it to fetch missing deps for Flash10  (works fine)
Load Flash 10 by clicking it in the tce folder (Works fine)

9) Start "QtWeb" browser again and look at a typical flash website  (Fails to load flash correctly.....cannot load cURL library......but curl is installed)

it could be difficult for you to say , because it's an old Flash10 on a 256 meg Ram machine and you may not have that file to try it out....but, in the recetn past, that file above has worked perfectly
fine for Flash on tcl 4.3.1. with alsa  (could a DEP in the 4.3.1 tcl repo have recently changed...?)

 (the exact flash is 10.3.183.5 compiled against alsa for tcl  (it worked on tcl 4.3.1 in times gone by)

many thanks,



B

There is no such thing, flashplayer.so is a universal proprietary code binary provided by adobe.

Please post output of:

Code: [Select]

ldd /path/to/libflashplayer.so

Hello

uh not sure what you mean...

when it was working fine in the past....any flash web page allowed you to right click and it would
offer options, one of those options was "about adobe flah player 10.3.183.5

and that took you to adobe's web site....the browser therefor understood it's running Flash 10.3.183.5

it does not exist?

will try to get that output what you requested

thanks

seemed that libflashplayer.so  had permissions of "tc staff"....as if it was not able to execute?

it's not easily possible to change the permissions

Vince

[gerald_clark]

"tc staff" are not permissions.  They are the owner and group of the file.
The file is a library, and therefore does not need execute permissions.
It only needs read permissions.

[cast-fish]

right

so do you see any anomilee with the output there?

V

[gerald_clark]

So why are you responding to questions posed to vinceASPECT?

[cast-fish]

just same

got two logins



sorry if it is confusing, in light of that

V.

[tinypoodle]

Sure that's confusing and does not help...

Try:

Code: [Select]

mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins && ln -s /path/to/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/
Also, post output of:

Code: [Select]

grep -e Plugins -e Javascript /path/to/QtWebSettings/QtWeb.NET/QtWeb\ Internet\ Browser.ini
In each command, replace /path/to/ as adequate to your setup.

[cast-fish]

thanks

will try it and post the other output vou asked of

many thanks

[cast-fish]

Hello

i have tried the first command you stated and it was accepted but it did not seem to solve the issue (no Adobe Flash running)

The second command was also accepted but returned no output at all. Nothing.

tc@box:~$ grep -e Plugins -e Javascript /home/tc/QtWebSettings/QtWeb.NET/QtWeb\ Internet\ Browser.ini
tc@box:~$ (returns to a terminal blinking prompt..... with no informatin outputed)
hmmm

v

[tinypoodle]

Hmm, not what I'd have expected.

Start QtWeb from an aterm, then navigate to a youtube video page and see if you get any relevant output.

Also, make sure you don't have javascript and/or plugins disabled - check with Alt+P.

[cast-fish]

hello

yes i am on the public library now.

could it be that you must reboot before you actually execute the flash....

it seems to say that in the @getflash@ plugin says this.

?

i will try this when i return home

Vin

[tinypoodle]

Upon further testing I found that while QtWeb works very reliably with flash content at youtube.com and I didn't note any issues with a few random sites, the player at bbc.com does not always load and fiddling with settings - e.g. allowing all cookies, disabling adblock and switching UA to "Opera" - and repeated reloading of page may be required.

Note: The symlinking method as described in Reply #8 may work for other Netscape API plugins as well, at least it does for me with mplayer-plugin.

[cast-fish]

ok

can'y make flash work here in any tcl operating system tried.

All the steps followed are correct.  (the file is flash 10)

a) tested against tcl 4.3.1 with alsa sound from repo =...not working....

b) tested against tcl 4.3.1 with OSS sound from repo = ...not working.... (browser just says flash is not installed when on a flash web page)

c) tested against  tcl 5.2 alsa sound from repo = ...flash web page just seems to not load....as if the flash loading has hung

d) tested against tcl 5.2 oss sound = .....not working...(browser just says flash is not installed when on a flash web page)

Steps taken (same as the steps taken by any new TCL user wanting flash.....they would use the repo "getflash11" and end up with flash 11.tcz in the tce directory and need to load it)   ( I have already got flash 10.tcz in my tce and loaded it)

steps taken

1) CD boot of tcl (fresh base boot)
2) Install the sound from repo  (test sound ....works fine)
3) Install browser from Repo....(test it on a web page....works fine)
4) put flash 10 file into the tmp/tce/optional directly
5) Do a dependancy check and fetch missing deps for Flash 10  (works and loads the flash 10 extension)
6) run browser again on typical Flash web page.....(no flash working)

hmmm

Vin


no other software is on the system. Just fresh OS and boot. Fresh downloads.

Opera 9 browser was used each time ....as a fresh download from the repo  (in all cases)
i suspect it won't work with any browser....

All of this *should* work. Otherwise flash 10 no longer seems to work. Did you do your tests
with the flash 10 file?
