Swfdec Gnash

Hi there,

the current problem with the new Xorg and the NVIDIA legacy driver and
the progress of the nouveau driver let me think about removing the
another last proprietary package on my systems. Please tell me of your
experience with Swfdec and Gnash for example with YouTube and other
flash content.

Thanks for your time!

Bye
Lars

I installed Gnash an Swfdec and tried myself. Swfdec works better with
YouTube in my superficial testing.
Using Firefox with the addon Download Helper to save flash movies and
then VLC or MPlayer to play them seems to be a good workaround to get
away of the Adobe Flash plugin. We will see.
