Well I couldn't resist staying up and waiting for the compile to work

Not tested much at all But plays a few samples in Gnash cvs source

I just tried gnash at abcnews.com:

http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=3003374

but, of course, this didn't quite work. See below. The above url was gotten by clicking on Get Video url.

Any pointers?

Thanks for the port!

I unzipped the file into the plugins directory. When I go to 'about plugins', it does not show. I tried the site above and was only able to get the audio. Did I install it incorrectly?

I look forward to future versions. The effort is appreciated.

Does it say anywhere that there is a mozilla plugin?? Currently there is only a standalone exe version. I'm investigating what's required to build a plugin.

I haven't gotten abc news to work on GNASH linux ppc either....that's the port I recently did. IIRC ABC news needs flash8 to work properly. So THAT problem isn't unique to the OS/2 port

FWIW I have almost EVERYTHING working on crossover linux and the latest wine too bad we can't get ODIN up to wine levels

I'd suggest that _most_ problems with Gnash/2 playing files will be crossplatform - ie youtube currently doesn't work on Gnash on any platform.

Perhaps one could WAPE - OS/2 port of WINE - to install the latest FLASH? (when WAPE is released).

I hate to say this, but until there WAPE is released even in alpha form, it's just empty promises and vapourware.

I click on the .exe file and the properties box shows. How does one get it to play flash movies?

answer is in the jpg. the flash is v9, ie7, wmv11.

if usb was supported that multifunction usb printer would work.

for me, this is just like the winos/2 days with a 32bit vm instead of the 16bit that ships with os/2!

Cool, that's really great work.
Of course it's not quite useful for anyone who has a ... some kind of other ... Flash 7 player already installed - in fact I could'nt find a single flash animation that ran with Gnash but didn't with Flash 7. However I read it's actively developed and soon it will be capable of playing video streams and thus it will be possible to use Youtube with a Gnash (plugin), in which case it would be powerful enough to replace (or to accompany) the old Flash 4/5 players shipped with eComStation.
As suspected, the rendering performance is quite low. Takes up at least 95% of my CPU load (1,7 Ghz Celeron) to display animations running at about 10% CPU load using Flash 7. Is this build really linked against OpenGl? If yes it would be interesting to have alternative builds linked against Mesa (or the possibility to load a given DLL dynamically) to compare performances. Currently, sound is scattered, too but I guess that's just because of the high CPU load.

This should not really be a problem.
Create a null printer on OS/2 and connect it to the USB port output. Then redirect LPT1 to that NULL printer.
Start VPC and print to the host's LPT1.
I wanted to experiment with these for weeks but haven't had time... it should work BTW.

The current build uses AGG (http://www.antigrain.com/) as the rendering engine. A build using Cairo is also available (http://download.smedley.info/gnash-cvs20070403-os2-cairo.zip) but the Cairo backend isn't fully implemented in Gnash so results may not be as good as the AGG build.

YouTube support is being worked on - lulu.tv (apparently) is working....

Nice work Smedles!

Every time I think OS/2 is just not suited for something, that we have to give it up while enjoying OS/2, someone like you comes along and proves me wrong.

I would seriously look at your hardware because I was the first person to test out gnash and it uses significantly lower resources then flash 7. On my Athlon64 3000+ it was at less then 5% cpu load playing a movie which runs at 60%+ on flash7. On the other hand it fails whenever it hit mouse input on my machine.

You make no sense at all.
USB is supported.

Gnash is something that with time will be a decent replacement for flash most likely, and even if it isn't we're in the same position as linux so there is really no harm in that. Really the problem with flash on alternate platforms is not unique to OS/2. If you're not running Windows, Macromedia/adobe wants nothing to do with you. But who REALLY cares. The problem is more with the site developers who listen to adobe's bs that you need to keep moving to the newest versions. The site developers should DEMAND that if they want them to keep using flash that macromedia makes a complete opensource flash build available for any alternative OS developer. It is the only way it is going to ever be fixed.

zman.. if you feel so strongly that you shouldn't be using OS/2, please stop posting on these forums.

Fantastic work Smedles !! and thanks for demonstrating the possibility of porting open source software to OS/2. As some can see all is not lost on this
platform.

I wonder is you intent to also publish a port of AGG for OS/2 ?
