It makes my firefox 3.x crash (FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p4 #12). In addition, I can't see any videos in my laptop (AMD64 1600) despite the CPU is with 100% use. It works _mostly_ fine in my other computer (Dual Core machine with the same FreeBSD version) but too often it doesn't play sound with youtube videos . My two cents.

Re: What flash players should be used from ports?
You have three viable choices, I'd recommend the third: 1. ports/graphics/gnash or gnash-devel (high CPU utilization on FreeBSD) 2. ports/www/swfdec-plugin [ ports/graphics/swfdec itself is a standalone flash player, the plugin port installs a plugin for firefox usage. 0.8.4 is the latest version for the standalone player(which, according to the official swfdec site, can play youtube video just fine). However, the plugin port of swfdec is still at version 0.8.2 and does not work with youtube videos at the moment.] 3. ports/emulators/linux_base-fc4 + ports/www/linux-flashplugin9 + ports/www/nspluginwrapper (this method is the most complex, but usually yields the fastest-responding flash and best results, at the moment.)

Re: What flash players should be used from ports?
Currently running i386. I'm using firefox 3.0.4 (need to upgrade, wow didn't realize that). Hy, There are several ways to use flash player in FreeBSD X environment. One is, as someone previously pointed out, gnash. Another is by using nspluginwrapper and linux-flashplugin. Yet another is by using swfdec. A god start would be http://freebsd.langhans.com.pl/af/index.html and http://www.google.ro/search?hl=ro&q=freebsd+firefox+flash+player&btnG=C%C4%83utare+Google&meta=&aq=f&oq= and of course http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ but aspecially http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html .

What flash players should be used from ports?
Hi, I'd like to finally get a flashplayer installed for use with Firefox. Which one should I use from the ports system? I found this one that looks promising: /usr/ports/www/flashplugin-mozilla Is the recommended one, or should I choose another?
