thanks ashish, that Miro reference is quite good. i hadn't realized
the Democracy Player had moved ahead and that it could support all
these codecs. am downloading the 15mb as i write this.
have others tried it?
meanwhile, am also trying to haggle with feisty to get mp3 and other
codecs playing, so i can work with amarok streaming internet radio in
the background.

[ilugd] adobe flashplayer under linux with 2o7.net

2007-12-31 Thread Linux Lingam
dear all,

am just resurrecting my ubuntu fiesty and have made good progress with
the fresh install since yesterday. noticed i needed the flashplayer to
watch youtube. the moment i clicked on 'install plugin' and the adobe
site opened with the linux player download link, i noticed i had a
cookie from 2o7.net.
immediately blocked the cookie, and after the download shut down the
system to run a small errand.
so on my next reboot ran the installer, launched firefox, and
everything ran ok, with no 2o7.net cookie.

those interested, check your cookies to see if you have one from 2o7.net

meanwhile, would love to install gnash or please recommend other
flash-player-equivalent but would rather do that on a non-production
distro, which i will install in another partition hopefully this week.

regards
:-)

Yeah, that's like a TRP to collect data on you.

The equivalent with google is google-analytics. If you're paranoid about the way
google has morphed from simply being a search engine, to becoming the world's
largest database on everyone and their goat, then you can block that with
firefox's noscript plugin.

How shall I violate your privacy? Let me count the ways

Although these solutions won't provide you comfort to watch in web
browser, but if freedom is important to you than comfort, than you can
try them :) .
