Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all? [Archive] - Page 9 - maemo.org

hmm, seems like HW acceleration is supported trough OMX and GLES2, need to find a way to enable it. If .so is opened as text file there are some texts like FLASH_OMX_VIDEO and FLASH_GLES2_SUPPORT, env variables?

Just like on my desktop, I've created /etc/adobe/mms.cfg containing the settings described here: http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer

But it doesn't help, 10.1 r120 seems to ignore that.

Anybody knows how to strace calls from a certain .so? :)

This thread is fine. It's pretty obvious by now that Nokia's not going to give us an updated version of Flash. It's time for the community to take matters into their own hands, and obtain an ARM-compiled binary of proprietary software, patch it, and illegally distribute it on the Internet.

Thanks Pali.

This version doesn't have red bar in corner. Videos are not fluent. Can't play videos from Vimeo, but speedtest.net now works fine! :D

I was just checking the flash stuff.
Because of:

Speedtest also provides info about upload speed and ping.

But there is also speedtest mini (http://www.speedtest.net/mini/speedtest.swf) which works with old flash.

hi everyone, this is my first post ever!! xD
I got my n900 last month and i'm getting really excited about this comunity... in addition that i'm an engineering student ... i hope soon get enough knowledge and start developing/debugging/contributing over here ( can't wait!!!)
The reason of my reply is http://meegoexperts.com/2011/02/flash-10-1-nokia-n900-maemo/ (this) post looking desperately for fp 10.1
Could somebody tell me if it's still working?? and if it represents any brick risk?
thanks

PS i wanted to install CSSU but i read it would brick my phone... although i saw lots of people who had it without fatal consecuences. Could somebody tell me how high the risk actually is? Are we far from a stable release?? thanks again

No, you won't brick the phone, just save original file to revert back when needed.
Posted site has Flash 10.1 r105, which works very bad on N900. Better, but not much, is Flash 10.1 r120, which is here (http://www.enst.fr/~husson/libflashplayer.so).

Everyone here will recommend you to use Tweak Flash plugin version (http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/tweakflashver/).

Regarding CSSU, I don't have any issues except email app crashes randomly.

Playing with libflashplayer.so is absolutely safe. CSSU is also fine.

Keep in mind that you'll have to reflash many times while making experiments, so keep flasher and firmware images at hand. And install BackupMenu, it will save your time.

Whatever you do (maybe except extreme overclocking), there is no way to brick the phone definitely. The worst that can happen is that your battery becomes too empty for the phone to boot. In that case you will need an external battery charger (10$ on ebay).
The only real issue is that reflashing can be time consuming, and can be needed at a time you would actually need the phone. If you can get away with that, you can play all you want. Just remember to backup your data regularly (as you should do even without touching dev programs).

Instabilities are different for everyone so no one can really help you on that. You'll see if you test ;)

Nokia has again constructed a new device with the omap chip from texas instruments (N9).
But they didn't ask for their driver for flash!

The Flash plugin isn't a driver. It's, well, a plugin, a small program that plugs into, and extends, another. And Nokia wouldn't get Flash from TI. Nokia would need to license it from Adobe directly.

TI has only licensed the Flash plugin from Adobe for distribution to individuals and companies doing OMAP development. This allows OMAP developers to test Flash performance on their devices before they reach a point where they're ready to license Flash from Adobe themselves. And that's what's necessary. TI's Flash license doesn't allow their customers, the OMAP developers, to turn around and redistribute the Flash plugin to end users.

The plot thickens! The N9's official iPhone Webkit browser doesn't have Flash, but supposedly Fennec supports it! But I don't see how they would ship Flash for Fennec, so I suspect Fennec's support is purely hypothetical.

I read somewhere here that "Flash for Fennec on Harmattan" isn't true after all, despite Kontorri's post. Does anyone know for sure?

I think we all misunderstood what kontorri meant in that sentence he wrote.
I suspect all he was saying is that fenec can use tweakflash in order to "support flash"
Or perhaps he meant the ancient plugin already available to maemo users.

I hope I'm wrong & that there are plans to support the latest version/s of flash.
But it is looking unlikely... :(

why publish it , if do not accept beta-testers or developers.

I know what tweakflash does... I was assuming/hoping that LT...
The N900 NPAPI plugin could be used in fennec*, & then a harmattan twkflash could be made for the N9.
I guess even if it's technically feasible there'd be licensing issues, but surely not as pricey as full-blown flash 10x.

Best option of course though is for Nokia to cough-up the $ for a 10.x license.
I don't understand why they're so cheap, it'd cost such a big co. "a tuppence".

no, because Fremantle and Harmattan aren't binary compatible (softfp/hardfp). the N900's flash plugin won't work, even if fennec's plugin API might support it.

Sorry I meant "use", not "port".
Ah of course, I forgot about the new ARM optimisations that've been done for harmatten.

Perhaps there's some way we can disassemble the flash binary & recompile for hardfp?
Wishful thinking I know, but one can dream... :D

Or just get the binary re-licensed to be used on n9, & hence properly recompiled for harmattan!
It's an ancient version of flash, so I can't imagine adobe asking for much!?!

Maemo 5 does not support DRM, whereas Harmattan does. There will be an "official" DRM-enabled mode, for which adobe's binary would need to be signed, and a developer, DRM-disabled mode, in which none of the signed binaries will run. missing DRM was a major reason why many software houses didn't release apps for Maemo 5.

AFAIK, it's a one way ticket - once you change the N9 into developer mode, you won't be able to reenable DRM ever again.

But I also got the impression that they can only be read in the secure mode, so I don't understand why would the keys be destroyed when changing into the open mode... But then again the docs I read didn't go to specifics.
And is the flash binary necessarily even encrypted/protected?

umm... you do realize that was a hypothetical scenario, right?
as in, "if we had flash on the N9 it would be signed and couldn't be tweaked by tweakflash..."

since there won't be any flash on the N9, this discussion is moot.

btw, i don't know anything about e-fuses, but deleting certificates (or providing a way to delete them during the switch to open mode) is trivial. no certificates -> no DRM -> no going back.

07-15-2011, 07:44 AM

Yes, everything is pretty much guessing about the DRM/open mode. Although it sounds pretty damn annoying if you completely lose all possible access to paid software if you switch to Developer/Open mode...
And as said in this post (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1050222&postcount=16) by Jolo, they already have working Flash on N9 with Fennec, only thing that might stop it is certification/money. And if it comes as separate "app" through Ovi Store, it probably will be protected...

Exactly.
It's still "up in the air" whether there'll be flash or not.

Well, now we have flash 9.0.277, 10.1.105(red thing), 10.1.120, 10.2.157...

The one that is kinda working here when the 9 tweaked doesn't cut is the 10.1.120. Gonna try this one now.

My veredict:
10.2.157 has almost no difference to 10.1.120, except (maybe via placebo effect) for a tiny speed increase in heavy flash games.

Beagleboard uses a higher clocked CPU than the N900 and the same GPU, and they were able to see a "slideshow" with the Flash 10.1 plugin, so I think we are better off with our 9.4. We might even consider offering them our, 9.4 they might get better performance with it on Beagleboard too. :D Also the said thread is a year old, maybe they have something better now?

Looks like Adobe have killed off Flash Player for mobile:
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/perlow/exclusive-adobe-ceases-development-on-mobile-browser-flash-refocuses-efforts-on-html5/19226

Our best hope for a more recent Flash player version remains finding a device with the same ABI and libraries as the N900 and a newer flash version copying the Flash plugin from there.

That and convincing those sites that require flash to work to offer an alternative version that works in the N900 browser. (and possibly also updating the N900 browser with a newer Gecko version that supports more of the HTML5 stuff necessary to handle these HTML5-as-an-alternative-to-flash web sites)

Youtube and all plays along with some sample Flash 10 testing sites.

However..
Having issues with it caching the stream past the 23 second mark.

Is there anywhere that I can tweak the download memory/parameters that might be able to get around this issue?

I read this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4165/the-motorola-atrix-4g-preview/6

"YouTube playback works, however anything above 360p begins to drop frames. While 480p is playable, anything higher is basically impossible to watch. Motorola preloads Flash 10.1.120.10 with hardware acceleration in its webtop Linux however there doesn't appear to be any way to force an update. You'll note that this is the same version of Flash that the Optimus 2X was running, although I'm not convinced that GPU acceleration is fully enabled under Motorola's webtop Linux. Monitoring CPU usage in Android shows that playing a YouTube video in webtop Linux eats up between 50 - 80% of the two ARM Cortex A9s. "

Have you tried watching at 240p

bchliu

01-05-2012, 08:49 PM

I am not sure if thats the problem with it. I think its more the buffering cache settings. Hi-res stuff will definitely stutter.. but even at low res, should still get beyond 20 something seconds.

BTW.. The webtop is not accelerated properly in the Atrix - hence that statement. However, it is accelerated in Android so if you were to watch it in the Android environment, then it will play up to 720p fine.

OT here, with the lib flash file link which pali posted sometime back, flash 10.2 work alright, hell slow but it did work except the videos were laggy, (i.e speedtest.net), but now with the flash 11 upgrade, most of the sites are demanding flash 11 support.

What i did all these days were

Earlier : used tweak flash to tweak flash version to 10 ( with nokias flash 9 libflash.so)

From recent: Used real flash 10.2 files floating around (from pali's link...etc) without tweak flash.

Now: Most sites will work if we can fake support for flash 11 while having actual flash 10.2 support, but the prob is that tweak flash doesn't support other libflash files except the original pr1.3 flash 9 file. If we can remove that limitation, we should expect a few more months of flash support on our n900s.

I tried the live365 site as well as NPR.org (a site I've been wanting to get working for some time); all the graphics work fine, but no audio. FWIW, this is on a stock PR 1.3 N900 (no CSSU, no KP).

As I stated somewhere above Live365 audio worked for me on a stock + KP.

Now for a moment I thought I had reproduced your problem on a fresh stock N900 but after stopping / starting the stream and moving the software slider of volume control up then down finally audio started.

Try to increase the volume in the same way you do it on your desktop - use a clip in youtube (for example) and click in the lower part of the video to have access to controls.

at the risk of getting shouted at for being to lazy (and not reading all 2170 posts), is this just a Hex-edited binary or actually something new?

Aha, that did the trick, thanks! Live365 is now giving me audio. Haven't gotten NPR working yet; they might have changed their audio system since the last time I tried it. (I'm sure it's been more than a year since the last time I tried that site.)

EDIT: Aha, got NPR working too! Microb was simply failing to open a new window for the NPR media player. I typed in the address manually, and voila, NPR is streaming audio perfectly. :)

Mostly clean N900 with only power kernel installed (no Tweakflash or anything)

Youtube works nicely, no banner.

Edit: www.live365.com Check! (very agressive, "updated" flash site)

Hahaha take this, Nokia "management" in ivory tower in Richmond :p N900 lives on.

So this is a release of the latest version for N900

The deb install file will move the old libflashplayer.so to libflashplayer.so.diverted. This file (/usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so.diverted) can be removed (or stored as backup somewhere else).

H/W accell was removed on the Linux Flash 11 for whatever reason. As such, I'm using an old Flash 10.4 installer on my Ubuntu 12.04 box which I then hex-edited the installed lib and changed the revision to v12. With this, Flash reports v12 to Facebook and - golly gosh - the videos play okay and I also benefit from H/W accell (your mileage may vary, I'm using an ATI card, NVidia is flaky as fook on Linux + Flash).

So - the point to all this chat - if you hex-edit the Flash10 lib and change the version to 12 then I suspect you'll then be able to view Youtube videos.

(11.2 r 232).

was 31 30 2E 31 20 72 36 31 (00)
So, if I want to edit to v12, does it have to be V12, release {something}? for example? 12.1 r 14
What did you do?

Well, I changed the version for my Linux box to v12 by increasing the major version and leaving the revision ; just so I wouldn't have to keep doing it (Adobe will no longer product a version of Flash that uses the GPU in Linux).

You can change the N900 version to whatever you like (11, 12, 13, 99) - given a new version will never be produced :)

Did you change it by tweak flash plugin? It seems it does not recognize version number properly...
What about hardware acceleration? Do you notice performance increase on N900, setting version 12.xx ?

No, don't need "Tweak Flash" plugin, just use a hex editor.
Not sure whether acceleration is working or not, facebook embebbed youtube videos are working fine though, and everthing else I have been on:)

Hello everybody.
For those who wants to path libflashplayer.so for newer version.
You should look for the string "10,1,98,88" in a HEX-editor to replace it to "11,1,98,88". So, Your reported flash version will be 11.1 in this case.

I know this has been all said on the last few pages but I just though I'll pull it all together in single noob (hopefully!) friendly post...

So, in order to have flash player v10.1 working with youtube and embeded facebook videos here's what I did:

1. Remove old flash player, type in terminal as root (OPTIONAL):
apt-get remove --purge adobe-flashplayer
2. Download new version from (link provided by pinochio):
Flash Player v10.1.98.88 (http://www.sendspace.pl/download/YTo0OntzOjc6ImRhdGVfaW4iO2k6MTM0Mzc4MTUxMTtzOjU6In RpdGxlIjtzOjA6IiI7czo5OiJmaWxlX25hbWUiO3M6MjQ6ImFk b2JlLWZsYXNocGxheWVyLTEwLmRlYiI7czo1OiJ0b2tlbiI7cz oyMzoiY2MzM2I0MDcyZTgyM2VlMTU4MDkzOWIiO30dfASDF34v asd3245bvs)

3. Install Flash using:
dpkg -i /path/to/adobe-flashplayer-10.deb
4. Bump the version up by faking it through hexediting:
I've used hexedit available for n900 which you can get with this command:
apt-get install hexedit
type this to hexedit libflashplayer.so:
hexedit /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
5. Once in Hexedit, press CTRL+S and type in 31302e31 and press enter, the string you've just found need to be changed to 31322e31

6. Now, press CTRL+S, type "y" and search for 31302c31 and change it to 31322c31

7.Press CTRL+S then "y" again.

Close terminal and enjoy new faked v12.1.98.88 flash player :)

Has anyone succeeded in playing video clips from the BBC news website with this player?

I used hexedit to change the version string to 11.0.1.152, and it is displayed as such by Adobe's version checker on
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html.

However, when I try to play a BBC clip, the message "You do not have the correct version of the flash player" is displayed.

As far as I have been able to determine, the current minimum requirement for the BBC website is flash version 10.2.

I followed the noob guide (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1276589&postcount=2219) and managed to get the BBC iplayer site to play TV shows, the audio plays fine but the video lags/stalls even when i tried using the old 'pop out browser' trick.

Thankfully the radio now works on the iplayer site :)

I normally use get_iplayer for anything iPlayer related, including live radio. What browser are you using? I use the standard one. If I try to access anything on the BBC site, it auto redirects me to the m.bbc .co.uk (mobile equivalent) & then "operating system unsupported) junk message. How are you getting around that?

same thing happens on bbc sport, can play a tv clip but the video lag is terrible but the audio keeps playing.

This just doesn't make sense to me. This is a bit off topic but whenever
I enter www.bbc.co.uk, I get diverted to http://m.bbc.co.uk/. Everything on the site from there on "knows" that I am using a "tablet" and one that is unsupported by the site. Does anyone else here see that? By the way, I am in the uk.

@macey
The package
hideuseragent
is the key to your problem (or maybe newer one: useragenttool)

@kent
Did you close all browser windows (maybe also killall browser and killall browserd)? Or just rebooted?

I followed the noob guide (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1276589&postcount=2219) and managed to get the BBC iplayer site to play TV shows, the audio plays fine but the video lags/stalls even when i tried using the old 'pop out browser' trick.

Thankfully the radio now works on the iplayer site :)

I have the same problem but just assumed the n900 is not powerful enough to play the content. Is BBC Iplayer really working (& watchable) for other N900 users?

Flash is dead, even its owner has abandoned mobile flash a while ago because they going to focus on html5 tools.

Wow, thanks for providing such helpful information. And after a quick search you're right. I have found no flash on the web any longer, and the flash player is completely useless. Thanks to you we are all more informed. [This is sarcasm.]

Yes, it was directed to you (sorry for typo).
Then it seems you are the only one. I have no problems (except video lagging, which I had also with flash9).
Did you use tweakflashver in between? (I do not expect, but ...)

Please do NOT use twekflashver with that (manually to be hex-edited) flashplayer! It will produce a mess (probably, did not try ;)).

Seriously get over flash, or go to android if you want the "latest" flash. Adobe has even abandoned linux altogether now.

add this information in first post in first page

[QUOTE=gkhnkrts7;1277160][QUOTE=sEKI;1276589]I know this has been all said on the last few pages but I just though I'll pull it all together in single noob (hopefully!) friendly post...

So, in order to have flash player v10.1 working with youtube and embeded facebook videos here's what I did:

1. Remove old flash player, type in terminal as root (OPTIONAL):
apt-get remove --purge adobe-flashplayer
2. Download new version from (link provided by pinochio):
Flash Player v10.1.98.88 (http://www.sendspace.pl/download/YTo0OntzOjc6ImRhdGVfaW4iO2k6MTM0Mzc4MTUxMTtzOjU6In RpdGxlIjtzOjA6IiI7czo5OiJmaWxlX25hbWUiO3M6MjQ6ImFk b2JlLWZsYXNocGxheWVyLTEwLmRlYiI7czo1OiJ0b2tlbiI7cz oyMzoiY2MzM2I0MDcyZTgyM2VlMTU4MDkzOWIiO30dfASDF34v asd3245bvs)

3. Install Flash using:
dpkg -i /path/to/adobe-flashplayer-10.deb
4. Bump the version up by faking it through hexediting:
I've used hexedit available for n900 which you can get with this command:
apt-get install hexedit
type this to hexedit libflashplayer.so:
hexedit /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
5. Once in Hexedit, press CTRL+S and type in 31302e31 and press enter, the string you've just found need to be changed to 31322e31

6. Now, press CTRL+S, type "y" and search for 31302c31 and change it to 31322c31

7.Press CTRL+S then "y" again.

Close terminal and enjoy new faked v12.1.98.88 flash player :)
