Description of problem: this is a tracking bug for gnash AVM2 support which is related to various things including a youtube.com error when trying to play AVM2 video: 'An error occurred, please try again later.' (see some AVM2 related bugs below in the additional information section.) i dont see a current open request for enhancement tracking bug upstream yet but behold the prophesy of the AVM2 support: http://wiki.gnashdev.org/List_of_Tasks >AVM2 Compatibility > >Petter Reinholdtsen started a pledge on http://www.pledgebank.com/gnash-avm2 to >try to raise funding to get AVM2 support into Gnash, and it is open until >December 24th, 2010. As he succeeded in raising the $1400USD that was his goal, >now we're looking for someone to sign up for this task. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-3.6.16-1.f14 (x86_64) gnash-1:0.8.9-1.fc14 (x86_64) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to play AVM2 format youtube.com video 2. get 'An error occurred, please try again later.' 3. Actual results: AVM2 format youtube.com videos give error instead of playing. Expected results: AVM2 youtube videos play without error Additional info: here are some related links: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=606170 >Upstream bug : >>http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30005 >>flash movies from youtube and facebook don't work https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=652351 >FIrefox with Gnash plugin unable to display YouTube videos https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=666602#c14 >The blank videos linked are avm2, which isn't supported by gnash. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=21365 >AVM2: Gnash doesn't play sevenload-videos https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=24620 >AVM2: finance.google.com stock graphs unsupported by gnash https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=24635 >AVM2: Gnash plugin does not load acdc.com https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=30357 >all youtube fail with "An error occurred, please try again later" ... >YouTube cookie is a redirect to a regional video server https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=32007 >Some yt videos appears as AVM2 so are not played by gnash. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=32588 >Some YouTube movies use AVM2 watermark file >Thu 24 Feb 2011 05:11:10 PM UTC, original submission: > >At least in the US, some of the commercial movies available freely load a "watermark*.swf" file, which is AVM2.

Thank you for reporting this bug, however, I don't think there is much we can do about this bug in downstream fedora. Lightspark is supposed to take care of avm2 videos, as upstream doesn't plan to support avm2 AFAIK.
Can you give any example of non working youtube videos ?
regarding comment#2 i dont have example just aggregating and restating from upstream: (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=32588 which appears above poorly formatted so reentering here) >Some YouTube movies use AVM2 watermark file >Thu 24 Feb 2011 05:11:10 PM UTC, original submission: > >At least in the US, some of the commercial movies >available freely load a "watermark*.swf" file, which is AVM2. >This produces the infamous "error occurred": message which >looked like the old issue with cookie.

This bug is just to document >the problem so it doesn't get lost. though i did run across http://www.youtube.com/user/nba?blend=1&ob=4#p/u/1/gtYFo4pJN-E which file-properties-stage of mousemenu lists as something like root_vm_version: 'avm2 (unsupported)' root_swf_version: swf11 (*which didnt play but doesnt give the error message so probably need remove error from this bug title but dont know if someone else has a link that still gives the error.*) but it looks like gnu-bug#32588 listed in this post might have got movement on the 'working with youtube developers on serving of avm1 for gnash user agent' because when i try: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtYFo4pJN-E i get avm1 and swf9 and the 'an error occurred' but that error seems to be the [cookie / noscript addon] related error which clears when you [delete the cookies using the tools-clearrecenthistory] and also [either disable noscript addon or 'temporarily allow all page' in noscript]
you have to remove the cookies only once ?
looks like i have to remove the youtube.com cookie folder after each video or i get the error whether i have noscript enabled or not
weird, I can't reproduce this issue, I even ran gnash in a sandbox and it works without problems
hmm, i think will have to wait and report back after gnash-1:0.8.9-2.fc14.testing (x86_64) clears testing. i tried the gnash-1:0.8.9-2.fc14.testing (x86_64) on a kde machine and only seemed to have to clear the youtube.com cookies once. woot.
(In reply to comment #7) > i tried the > gnash-1:0.8.9-2.fc14.testing (x86_64) on a kde machine > and only seemed to have to clear the youtube.com cookies once. woot. This is what upstream said since 0.8.8
Issue seems to be related to nspluginwrapper, removing it fixes the problem. I updated the wiki to mention that : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash#Installing_Gnash
I filed a bug to blacklist gnash in nspluginwrapper : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695042
