X-BeenThere: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting software to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 03 Oct 2011 08:18:41 -0000 I built and installed both graphics/swfdec and swfdec-gnome, and graphics/gnash, and would like to know how to use swfdec to play some Flash content. Some Flash videos run with gnash, including those on YouTube, but others just show a blank rectangle. I wonder if swfdec-gnome can play anything that gnash can't, also see that swfdec-mozilla is not in ports. I also get a blank rectangle on Flash content that is not a video, such as on meijer.shoplocal.com ads and freefilefillableforms.com . I don't see why those sites use Flash, it seems like an unnecessary and useless annoyance. Tom
