| The YouTube website hosts a lot of video. It's all encoded in Flash to keep you from downloading anything, and also to save them bandwidth. I can play all the videos, but I can't get the audio. I have no problem with Google audio/video, which is also encoded in Flash. Here is a test link to a short Pink Floyd video <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxQhCNW8pLk> Can you hear audio on this? Thanks for help! |

| Hi USBguy Sorry to report no sound on any of the clips I tried - sound usually works fine with Flash7 here. Maybe the site requires the latest flash player... might be worth asking. Regards Pete |

| OK, I found out how to get sound on YouTube. I had the Flash 7r63 plugin, and I back-levelled to the Flash 7r14 plugin, and now I have sound. Neil |

I have sound, but the video pauses in about 8 seconds until I re-seek it or pause and play it (even though it is fully bufferred or bufferred well beyond the point it is pausing on). ![]() -Rob |

| I've never had any trouble with any of the Youtube videos that I've watched. (And I watch a lot...) My flash is the 7r14 version. The only time I lost sound was when I set libpathstrict to true. I use it with both Seamonkey and Firefox, usually Peter's latest revisions. |

| Anyone know where I can find r14? I thought that was what I was running, but I only have r19 and the later version. Thanks all, |

| http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ " Gnash is a GNU Flash movie player. Till now it has only been possible to play flash movies with proprietary software. While there are a few other free flash players, none supports anything higher than SWF v4 at best. Gnash is based on GameSWF, and supports many SWF v7 features. " http://www.os2world.com/cgi-bin/ultraboard/UltraBoard.cgi?action=Read&BID=83&TID=107&\ In case anyone is interested. I will let Innotek know of it. Perhaps they can make a port of it? It would be newer than version 5.

Gnash (currently) needs OpenGL support higher than we have. There is ongoing work to implement a Cairo backend for Gnash at which time an OS/2 port may be possible. I'm on the Gnash mailing list and try and keep up with what's going on there... Cheers, Paul. |

| Thanks for the information. Doodles (current version) mentions Cairo. Is this similar to what you are talking about? |

Cairo is just a graphics library - like OpenGL. Cairo is available for OS/2 as you've identified above. What's missing, is full support for Cairo as a graphics backend in Gnash - currently only OpenGL is fully supported, for which we only have v1.1 which is positively ancient. |
