Could you check if the high-res video really needs clicking the "HD" button or is used anyway ? I'm not sure about this cause all these "HD-ready" videos do look high-res to me even before. > At first when I encountered this "blank display in gnash" issue, I > thought I had a codec problem.

I'm not sure about this too, for a quick test you may link that video from testsuite/square.flv and use testsuite/misc-ming.all/NetStream-SquareTest.swf to check if it works. My gut feeling is that the problem is in handling the mechanism by which the "HD" button switches to another movie. --strk; Free GIS & Flash consultant/developer () ASCII Ribbon Campaign http://foo.keybit.net/~strk/services.html /\ Keep it simple! _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
