But about 6 or 7 years ago, yet on Ubuntu, I tried to disable Adobe Flash player and have managed to accomplish it only after uninstalling it. Interestingly enough, after that I was no able to install it back on the same computer. Well, to be more precise, I could install it back, but it did not work any more. :-)

(Would be interested to know if this my guess is correct.) Yes, you are correct, at least for Firefox (but I would be surprised if it were different for qtwebkit). Note that the dependencies aren't specified in the ebuild itself, but in the mozconfig-* eclasses. See for example the mozconfig-v5.34 eclass: gstreamer? ( =media-libs/gstreamer-1.2.3:1.0 =media-libs/gst-plugins-base-1.2.3:1.0 =media-libs/gst-plugins-good-1.2.3:1.0 =media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav-1.1.0_pre20130128-r1:1.0 ) The libav gstreamer plug-in is what lets you watch MP4 videos (and don't let the name fool you, it also works with ffmpeg). Thank you for information. And if you install gst-plugins-mad:1.0, then you can also play MP3s in Firefox (see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536530). I use the Seamonkey variant of Firefox.

If there are several flash boxes on a page, you can click on just the one(s) you want. A variant of this setting also exists in Firefox, albeit it is accessed from the about:addons page under Plugins. There you get a per-plugin tri-state setting, where you can choose between always on, always off, or always ask. With the latter, you get the same behaviour you described: a placeholder that you can click to selectively activate Flash. Personally, I don't like that way of doing things, because unless you completely deactivate Flash, Youtube will stupidly never attempt to use HTML5 videos (I guess it sees that you have Flash installed?). Yes, it is bad because now I can see at least half of the youtube videos via html5. Thus, I use the FlashDisable extension, which simply makes it easier to toggle between always on and always off (although it won't allow you to selectively activate Flash per instance on a page, which is too bad, although I rarely see this). Thank you for this hint also. One thing I've joyfully noticed is how rare the instances where I need to activate Flash are becoming :-). I hope that with time youtube will completely switch to html5, so flash player won't be needed. Till then youtube-dl can be a good way to switch flash player on, at least for youtube. :-)

That I have (1.2.6-r1, highest stable). ffmpeg -i yourvideo.mp4 -c copy -metadata:s:v:0 rotate=90 output.mp4 I did this command but the result is not rotated (my player is totem). There was a warning issued. Below is the command I used and the on-screen output. The resulting mp4 file plays fine but is not rotated. What did I do wrong? thanks again, allan newlap tmp # ffmpeg -i orig.mp4 -c copy -metadata:s:v:0 rotate=90 r90.mp4 ffmpeg version 1.2.6 Copyright (c) 2000-2014 the FFmpeg developers built on Feb 3 2015 14:21:53 with gcc 4.8.3 (Gentoo 4.8.3 p1.1, pie-0.5.9) configuration: --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --shlibdir=/usr/lib64 --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-shared --cc=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc --cxx=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ --ar=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar --optflags='-march=native -O2 -pipe' --extra-cflags='-march=native -O2 -pipe' --extra-cxxflags='-march=native -O2 -pipe' --disable-static --enable-gpl --enable-postproc --enable-avfilter --enable-avresample --disable-stripping --enable-version3 --disable-indev=v4l2 --disable-indev=oss --disable-indev=jack --disable-outdev=oss --enable-bzlib --disable-runtime-cpudetect --disable-debug --disable-doc --disable-gnutls --enable-hardcoded-tables --enable-iconv --enable-network --disable-openssl --enable-ffplay --disable-vaapi --disable-vdpau --enable-zlib --enable-libvo-aacenc --disable-libvo-amrwbenc --enable-libmp3lame --disable-libfdk-aac --disable-libaacplus --disable-libfaac --disable-libtheora --disable-libtwolame --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --disable-libcdio --disable-libiec61883 --disable-libdc1394 --dis libavutil 52. 18.100 / 52. 18.100 libavcodec 54. 92.100 / 54. 92.100 libavformat54. 63.104 / 54. 63.104 libavdevice54. 3.103 / 54. 3.103 libavfilter 3. 42.103 / 3. 42.103 libswscale 2. 2.100 / 2. 2.100 libswresample 0. 17.102 / 0. 17.102 libpostproc52. 2.100 / 52. 2.100 [h264 @ 0x122e340] Warning: not compiled with thread support, using thread emulation [aac @ 0x122f070] Warning: not compiled with thread support, using thread emulation Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'orig.mp4': Metadata: major_brand : isom minor_version : 0 compatible_brands: isom3gp4 creation_time : 2015-02-08 21:30:20 Duration: 00:05:44.94, start: 0.00, bitrate: 17240 kb/s Stream #0:0(eng): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p, 1920x1080, 16996 kb/s, 29.91 fps, 29.92 tbr, 90k tbn, 180k tbc Metadata: rotate : 90 creation_time : 2015-02-08 21:30:20 handler_name: VideoHandle Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: aac (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 250 kb/s Metadata: creation_time : 2015-02-08 21:30:20 handler_name: SoundHandle Output #0, mp4, to 'r90.mp4': Metadata: major_brand : isom minor_version : 0 compatible_brands: isom3gp4 encoder : Lavf54.63.104 Stream #0:0(eng): Video: h264 ([33][0][0][0] / 0x0021), yuv420p, 1920x1080, q=2-31, 16996 kb/s, 29.91 fps, 90k tbn, 90k tbc Metadata: handler_name: VideoHandle creation_time : 2015-02-08 21:30:20 rotate : 90 Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: aac ([64][0][0][0] / 0x0040), 48000 Hz, stereo, 250 kb/s Metadata: creation_time : 2015-02-08 21:30:20 handler_name: SoundHandle Stream mapping: Stream #0:0 - #0:0 (copy) Stream #0:1 - #0:1 (copy) Press [q] to stop, [?] for help frame= 7166 fps=0.0 q=-1.0 size= 504481kB time=00:03:59.68 bitrate=17242.6kbitsframe=10311 fps=0.0 q=-1.0 Lsize= 726141kB time=00:05:44.93 bitrate=17245.2kbits/s video:715245kB audio:10529kB subtitle:0 global headers:0kB muxing overhead 0.050533% newlap tmp # ffmpeg -i orig.mp4 -c copy -metadata:s:v:0 rotate=90 r90.mp4
[gentoo-user] cookies
In my firefox I have setting: - Accept cookies YES - From third parties NEVER - ask me every time Some webpages keep sending 100's of cookies so I decline them. Sometime, I'm tires of clicking NO so I just kill the process and restart firefox. Is there any plug in to better manage cookies; allow me to decline them ALL. I don't want to change setting: Accept cookies NO -- Joseph

Below is the output up to when I killed it Is it possible I did the ffmpeg command wrong? Sorry, that was my fault. mplayer doesn't support this :-P mpv does. If you want to rotate the video so that all players work, you need to re-encode it. You will lose some quality doing this. And how to encode properly is a huge can of worms to open here (especially since I'm not an expert on this myself.) Quick and dirty way: ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf transpose=1 out.mp4 This will probably produce crap. For a better quality encoding, do: ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf transpose=1 -vcodec libx264 out.mp4 For the latter to work, you need to enable the x264 USE flag of ffmpeg.
[gentoo-user] off topic: rotating a video
I apologize in advance for this off topic query. I took a video with my phone (galaxy note 4) and via google+ uploaded it to my mail laptop. It is an mp4 and plays fine on both the phone and the labtop except that it is sideways. I was surprised that neither the player on the phone nor the player on the laptop (totem, I run gnome) seems to offer a rotation option. Am I missing a slightly hidden option or do I need another program. I do not do video editing and do no plan to in the near future. thanks, allan

[gentoo-user] pipelight problems
I have been using pipelight in firefox successfully for several months. However, recently I upgraded wine and pipelight and now pipelight/silverlight is not recognized by firefox and is not listed under plugins at about:addons. I've followed the instructions here: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Netflix/Pipelight and everything worked except for this step: demeter ~ master # pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight ERROR: Your system is missing a copy of /usr/lib64/pipelight/libpipelight.so at /usr/lib64/pipelight/libpipelight-silverlight5.1.so After I did ln -s /usr/lib64/debug/usr/lib64/pipelight/libpipelight-silverlight5.1.so.debug /usr/lib64/pipelight/libpipelight-silverlight5.1.so everything else seemed to work correctly according to the wiki instructions. This is what I've tried so far: rm -fr .wine-pipelight/ mv .mozilla mozilla downgrade firefox from 35.0 to 31.4.0 emerge and further info: https://gist.github.com/jfindlay/889430e783e19a6798c8 Justin
