The patch looks good to me. The static_cast (that was already in there) seems entirely unnecessary, though.

I'll be applying your patch after a round of testing.

Thanks!

This one's probably safer, properly quoting the argument list so it can't attempt to do Bad Things.

Here's a patch which gets youtube working in Konqueror again for me. No idea how correct it is or not...

I think nobody is looking at this issue. Are you candidating yourself Ben ? :)

Any progress on this? The problem is again missing -P (and possibly -U) parameters: i.e, they're not being passed to the plugin. This coincided with youtube's html change to use javascript (UFObject) to pass variables to the player instead of a simple URL.

HEAD.

This was the patch that fixed it earlier this week:

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?20608

After cvs update -dA today, the embedded video in konq has reverted back to the older behaviour of not loading (with the incessant circle), or jumping straight to 'play again' buttons shown at the end of youtube video.

jose@DebianServer:~$ gnash -v http://www.youtube.com/player2.swf?$vars

This works!I can watch the video.
I have tried other videos from youtube and also works fine!

The problem is when trying to play any video from konqueror.The video never gets loaded.
The attached file shows what I see.

Unfortunately youtube won't let you play videos like that, and they've changed their html so the way suggested in the wiki doesn't work any more either. You can call the video you referred to properly from the command line like so:

vars="video_id=etc09CX9S7M&t=OEgsToPDskLSXBOk_SSE_-eZJrAIRO2e&sk=kfoJ-ej81TZJtpMU3p34ogC"

gnash -v http://www.youtube.com/player2.swf?$vars

Do all youtube videos not work, or is it just that one? That doesn't play properly for me either.

You might also check that gnash has access to the sound device and that sound is enabled. Youtube won't play videos if it can't access the sound device, including if something else is using it.

I was using gnash-cvs20070818 and youtube videos plays fine with konqueror. Since yesturday the videos doesn't work. So I get the latest cvs and didn't solve the problem.

Build options cvs
   Target:
   Renderer: ogl - GUI: KDE - Media handler: ffmpeg
   Configured with: --enable-gui=kde --prefix=/usr --enable-renderer=ogl --enable-debugger
Ffmpeg version is: Lavc0d.51.11.0

I am using Debian Etch.

Debug output might help.

http://www.gnashdev.org/wiki/index.php/YouTube gives instructions for playing from the command line to get debug output, or you can get the log from the plugin by putting lines like this in a file called .gnashrc in your home directory.

set debuglog ~/Desktop/gnash.log
set writelog on
set verbosity 1

What media handler are you using: ffmpeg or gstreamer? (gnash --version).

Since today ( 08/24/2007 ) gnash plugin for konqueror doesn't play youtube videos. I was using gnash-cvs20070818 and today I  updated to the latest cvs version without any success.
Tell me if you need more information.
Thanks.
