People that want to be more efficient with their time -- even when watching youtube :) -- don't want to mess around with extra steps. I guess if people have time to care about the fact that they don't want to use a corporate produced plugin but still want to watch content created for that corporate plugin, then they have time to mess with that youtube plugin. Frankly, I -- and the majority of Internet users -- just need to be able to access Flash content -- youtube and other sites -- to get work done quickly and efficiently. The less time I spend on the 'puter, the better. Speaking of, time to go bake some apple tarts, I'm outta here. :) Happy New Year, RUdy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I find that flash7 as always worked for me, I know some people are trying to get flash9 working but it's a lot of work since it seems to be a memory bug in flash9 or npviewer.bin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I tried it a couple of years ago and most websites (with falsh content) didn't work... you say it works now days? I'll give it a try.

Every flash or flash-like thing I have tried except linux-flashplugin7 blows up on google ananyltics (my primary use for flash) but if someone can tell me how to do this and use more modern flash pages also I would be intrested (btw as far I can tell firefox defaults to the most recently installed flash plugin) > On Jan 3, 2008 8:23 PM, Rudy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I forgot to mention, my post is for FreeBSD 7... here is my uname: > > FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE #2: Thu Jan 3 15:59:14 PST 2008 > > > > > > > > Rudy > > ___ > > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Why not just use gnash to watch youtube videos? It works fine for me, with my user account. However, if I use Firefox+gnash as root, it makes my system unstable, I lose /dev/null, and the system gets weird. I guess gnash will kill your system if you run it as root.
