Hi, Please don't close this bugreport without real bugfixing.

It would be very good if you make separate package for swf-player and mozilla-plugin, so users will have an ability to play flash animations without browser and without installing lots of gnome and gstreamer packages (installation of totem-gstreamer requires almost all gnome :( ). Another problem with playing swf with totem-streamer raises when user uses totem-xine and doesn't want to use totem-gstreamer. For example for me totem-gstreamer is too buggy and I use totem-xine which works fine for me. Player and browser plugin are mentioned as separate programs in swfdec README: "Included is a simple SDL-based player and a Mozilla plugin that allows the player to be embedded into your favorite browser." (look at http://www.schleef.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/swfdec/README?view=markup ) Separate folder with separate makefile for player and for mozilla plugin is in swfdec sources. Because of this I think it will be not hard to make separate deb packages for player and for mozilla-plugin. Btw, similar software - libflash has already splitted standalone player and mozilla-plugin into separate debian packages, look at: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/libflash http://gplflash.sourceforge.net/ Thanks for developing and maintaining free software :) -- Good luck, Mantas Kriauciûnas Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG ID: 43535BD5 Public organization "Open Source for Lithuania" - www.akl.lt
