Facebook has now gone Flash 10.1 (Video does not work. Flash update required.)
 

Just thought i would be the bearer of bad new's all my videos that i have sent to facebook via the phone or uploaded via the PC i cannot watch anymore on my N900s MicroB or FireFox as it requires me to update flash. :(

Maybe its just my phone or somthing but everyone better check it out and see if im correct.

yeah it tells me to get flash

Re: Facebook has now gone Flash 10.1
 

I think they're requiring Flash 10.0.0.0 and not 10.1.0.0 (or higher) - that's what Vimeo and a lot of other sites are doing right now.

? I have always uploaded to youtube and linked to fb, what A waste of time that was.. I don't really use it that much as you can tell X)

First off **** 'em.

Secondly, I have a workaround.

But it's not elegant and doesn't work for videos in albums (at present anyway)

Requirements:
* firefox ("minefield" NOT fennec)
* Facebook Video firefox extension (alternatively you may be able to use the port of Greasemonkey and the original greasemonkey script in conjunction with MicroB but I haven't tested it)
* mplayer (or any other video player that can FLV; osso-mediaplayer does not)

1.) Open firefox (the port floating around someone made for Diablo is labeled as "GrandParadiso"; aka one of the developer build codenames)
2.) Edit>Preferences>Set default download folder to /home/user/MyDocs/.videos
3.) Install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9614/ (you will first have to click "allow"), then restart firefox and by this they mean close firefox and re-open it.
4.) Visit a page such as: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fire-F...r/145513041952

5.) Click "Download Video" link
6.) Choose Save

7.) Open mplayer and select the video (if you use gmplayer it should find the video for you)

What doesn't work:
Videos embedded like such: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=37403547074

Looks like there are now 11 reasons

Re: Facebook has now gone Flash 10.1
 

Okay yeah you can just use the greasemonkey script + MicroB

1.) apt-get install greasemonkey-webaddon (or install from HAM or I suppose fapman or whatever)
2.) Open microb and restart it a couple times
3.) Open greasemonkey
4.) Visit http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9789 and click the Install button ( http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/9789.user.js )
5.) Answer yes to install the script
6.) Visit http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fire-F...r/145513041952 (or wherever)
7.) Choose Save (not Open because it will open in default media player which cannot open MP4)
8.) Open with [g]mplayer and enjoy.

I know I'll get flamed for this... but what's Nokia's official word about this? Maemo 5 is still supported, right? These workarounds are a ton more complicated than they need to be.

I do, however, blame the sites that are going to Flash 10.x for no real reason - there's no extra functionality in moving to FP 10.1 as they're using it so far (read: no 3D, no added features really)
