They've switched to AVM2 now anyway. I'm still sure that this was fixed!

0.10.20 here. Tried both iceweasel and epiphany. Compiled on a recent Debian sid. Sorry I don't know what else to look for :-(

vilasweb.tv works fine for me too

"Discurs íntegre de Pasqual Maragall al Palau de la Música"

Seek, pause/play, fullscreen, volume.
All works.
Gstreamer 0.10.18 here.
Under firefox.

Well, I don't really know what to suggest. I've tested with gst and ffmpeg builds, and both work flawlessly, including seeking and fullscreen.

Can someone else have a look at this?

Yes, it's a checkout from 2 days ago. It's linked against gstreamer.

My log doesn't look much like that at all. Assuming it's roughly in the same order, this is the equivalent passage:

The undefined value is for the logo; it's a generic player, and if no logo is required, undefined would be correct here. The actual video is loaded later (after a few traces).

I don't see any of the 'unimplemented' messages in your log, but they've been in the source code for some time. Are you using a current version of Gnash? Also, I'm using ffmpeg not gstreamer, so that may work differently. I'll test with gst tomorrow.

Now it finds the playlist (although I notice that it is being fed by the script). Afterwards it still gets the "http://www.vilaweb.tv/undefined".

You say loading vilaweb.tv on the browser works for you? It's strange.. when in verbose mode do you see the same errors I do?

$ sh vilaweb.sh -v

That's not the correct commandline invocation. See the shell script that strk attached for the correct one. I only tried by loading vilaweb.tv in the browser, which worked fine.

This 404 looks suspicious...

Please test this now. Was probably an XML parsing problem.

Here's the player sourcecode:
svn co http://code.jeroenwijering.com/svn/trunk/as3

I think we can put the webpage url in the summary, doesn't
really make sense to restrict the bug to one or the other bug...
I'm also interested in NOT attempting to load an url if that's what we're supposed to do for an 'undefined'-typed url...

No objection here!

Btw thanks for nailing this down :-)

The SWF is the jeroenwijering one.jeroenwijeringa
Appending a &logo=SOMETHING at the end of the flashvars parameter in the launcher script makes gnash attempt to load SOMETHING rather then undefined. Might be completely fine for the undefined to be there, not so sure about gnash trying to load from an undefined url (we should check this)

The undefined value comes from a register.
It is passed to MovieClip.loadClip, where target is a sprite called _level0.player.display.logo.mc.

The push references register 2,
Local register 2 is undefined.
Global register 2 is an as_object, but we're in a function context (I think).

I can't find any ActionSetRegister explicitly setting register
2 to undefined, so must be just what happens to be there by default. Chances are undefined registers are different then non-assigned register slots ? Ming doesn't give us that control but I belive we have something with swfmill...

It is an undefined variable somewhere. We need to find out where it's supposed to come from and why it isn't working.

Hi!

Why was this bug tagged invalid? Sandro even reproduced it. Does this mean it's fixed now, or... ?

The url is http://www.vilaweb.tv/flvplayer2.swf
md5 d6393572299ae82ca370c43c394abf6f

Supposedly working invocation would be:
gnash -u http://www.vilaweb.tv/flvplayer2.swf -v ./flvplayer2.swf
