Any chance someone playing with this can try Hulu?

I actually found that tweakflashver is (so far) enough for almost all of my purposes (google streetview I use through an Easy Debian app to which I pointed somewhere above in this thread).

EDIT: After some failed attempts, I managed to set up shortcuts where I don't need ssh to get root: Provided rootsh is installed, adding the following lines to /home/user/.profile

Code:

alias flash10='/usr/bin/rootsh /bin/ln -sf /usr/lib/browser/plugins/10.1/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so'
alias flash9='/usr/bin/rootsh /bin/ln -sf /usr/lib/browser/plugins/orig/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so'

allows one to just say "flash10" or "flash9" in XTerminal to activate the respective flashplayer. One should of course stop and restart the browser when doing so.

What did i do wrong, if i don't have a /home/user/.profile file??

Nothing, it isn't there by default. Just create the file with those lines in and it should work (but only for terminals opened after you have created the file).

You need to be root to make a symlink in that location, install rootsh (if you've not already) and then issue "sudo gainroot" to get a root terminal, then use the symlink instructions given above.

Be careful what you do as root though as you can delete anything.

What I think you have done is spread the alias command across multiple lines. There should be just two lines added to your .profile file for this, one starting "alias flash10" and the second starting "alias flash9".

has anyone who has installed this tried to play the channels directly from the mainpage at tv catchup or from the english aljazeera site....they play with flash 9 but stutter very badly.

http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/

http://www.tvcatchup.com/channels.html (requires a quick free registration )

thanks for any info back on these sites.

It`s a good effort, a step to the right direction.As everybody else:

1) You get a red line at the top left of the feed.
2) Everything seems to play at a lower framerate (some more than others).For example youtube is great but justintv and tvcatchup are slow)
3) No fullscreen folks! If you touch the flash content the browser crashes and restarts.
4) Everything that has flash 10.1 loads (like google street view) but don`t expect anything else.No interaction with the content.Even a single touch is enough for the browser to crash.

Thing is, the same plugin works well for another platform, the Pandora - I've tried it.
So it's microb that is making the plugin fail, and we should make the plugin work with another browser, say firefox or midori.
