[SOLVED] Gnash and youtube cookies

view full story
linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hello world. I've been trying out the gnash-0.8.8 flash plugin for the last couple of days. On my main computer (a quad core beast) it works well. However, on the other computers I've tried it on (all single core i686) it doesn't work, it just shows a black screen and says Quote: An error occurred, please try again later. Google led me to a solution, which is to delete all youtube cookies from Firefox and block any further youtube cookies. If I do that it works. However, if I disable youtube cookies I can't opt in to the html5 beta. I'd prefer to let Firefox (HowTos)

[ubuntu] webm videos on youtube 36 weeks 9 hours ago

I've been trying to watch webm videos on youtube lately with only partial success. Some of them play alright, while others request Adobe Flash. For example, this video requests flash, and this one plays without.

I like the browser Epiphany (now Web or something).

I also hate Flash and I heard about Gnash, its free alternative.

All I want to do is to set up Epiphany somehow to use Gnash on YouTube. I can't get that to work.

I have installed browser-plugin-gnash, but it doesn't do anything. I have plug-ins enabled in Epiphany.

I reply to myself but I have found the flash video replacer extension to firefox. It is able to launch an external player for flash videos on main site that use flash to play video (youtube, etc...). It works great for these websites and allow me to see high quality mp4 video on youtube with my 5 years old computers using mplayer.

Hi everyone!

I'm a newbie in the linux world and have just installed Xubuntu 11.10 on an old laptop (Pentium II - 1,20GHz - 512 MB RAM).

I thought initially that youtube, and hence flash, didn't work at all in firefox: back hole where the flash player should be.

What's the format of the "natescapes" cookies.txt when I need to mirror a website that requires login. I use some chrome extension that returns cookies in that format, I save them in cookies.txt, import with wget command but no use, it just downloads content like I'm not logged in at all

Appreciated any help

How does a cookie work 17 weeks 1 day ago

I'm trying to send a post request through curl so I ran

curl --cookie /tmp/cookies.txt --cookie-jar /tmp/cookies.txt --data "name=value" http://www.mysite.com > post_request.txt

where I stored in /tmp/cookies.txt the cookie I found in my chrome's console. In the latter there were a name and a value.

OMG Ubuntu: "The latest version of open-source flash player �Gnash' boasts that �100% of all YouTube videos' should now work using it."

Hi, ive got Ubuntu to finaly work on my machine, but flash will not work. I have tried every fix I can find to make flash work. Installing the flash plugin etc to using a command line to install flash. Nothing works. Youtube has a black box in Firefox and chrome says it could not load shockwave flash.

I decided to give Gnash a try but, after replacing Adobe Flash plugin (using the Flash-Aid adddon in Firefox), the FlashGot button for getting media ('FlashGot Media') is not available anymore.

Here is how it should appear:

DownloadHelper, a Firefox addon similar to FlashGot, works with Gnash very well.
