Description Andreas Utterberg 2009-01-28 18:39:52 UTC
Description of problem:
Konqueror dosn`t work with flash objects like youtube and other flash components. Flash works ok in Firefox, when listing plugins in Konqueror the Flash components are there with urls to folder $HOME/.mozilla/plugins where libflashplayer.so is located.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rpm -qa | grep kdebase
kdebase-workspace-libs-4.1.4-1.fc10.i386
kdebase-4.1.4-2.fc10.i386
kdebase-workspace-4.1.4-1.fc10.i386
kdebase-runtime-4.1.4-1.fc10.i386
kdebase-runtime-libs-4.1.4-1.fc10.i386
kdebase-libs-4.1.4-2.fc10.i386

Flash player 10.

How reproducible:
Try to watch a flash clip.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to a page containing a flash object.

  
Actual results:
Nothing is showing.

Expected results:
The flash object to play in the browser.

The kdebase4 package is obsolete (it was only used when KDE 4 was not the default) and no longer exists since Fedora 9, there's kdebase, kdebase-runtime and kdebase-workspace. Konqueror is part of kdebase.

Interesting, this works for me fine on i386 (with kde-4.1.x)

I pleasantly discovered yesterday, that kde-4.2.0 also makes x86_64 + nspluginwrapper + flash-plugin work too. woo.

I'll put it on the kde42 tracker, when kde-4.2.0 lands in updates, please confirm if this is still an issue for you.

Flash video is a bit unreliable under Konqueror. Ssometimes it works from the first try sometimes flash loads but doesn't load the video stream and I have to hit "refresh" few times.

IIRC it start to happend when adobe dropped support for non-gecko based browsers.

On the other hand flash animations runs ok, including all those nasty ads on webpages.
