Yes, let's close.
It'd still be interseting to unify the player/plugin
versions descriptions and allow the single .gnashrc to be used by the plugin, but that's ok to be in a task item or something, whenever one feels like approaching it.

Can be closed now, can't it?

Of course nothing seems to have changed, as nothing is changed.
If you want to help evaluating the effects of changing something
run firefox with GNASH_PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION="Shockwave Flash 8.0 r00"
and see how that affects youtube experience.

Removing the cookies got the older media player working, but it still doesn't work for the newer one, so nothing seems to have
changed. Also Preferences via the right click menu still segfaults.

Clear the youtube cookies and reload the page. It'll work once, then stop again (as you'd be getting the cookie again).
The workaround I've found so far was to refuse cookies from youtube.com.
I think we're doing something wrong ourselves too, but didn'
inspect further. Would be interesting to check if the same
thing happens with older gnash releases.

As of #12096, I can't view YouTube videos at all anymore. I always get that error message you mentioned. This happens regardless of whether I change the version string or not. Worse yet, Edit-Preferences crashes Gnashi every time. This is with no unchecked in patches on an x86_64, Ubuntu Karmic system. (fully up to date)

Some news:
1. I saw the plugin already honours an environment variable
named GNASH_PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION, so users can use that
(but I'd still want an easier default)
2. Sometimes you really want to advertise an higher version
see http://bugs.skolelinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1414#c2
3. The plugin will be queried only once, at "load" time,
for the version, so we can't switch version based on
website urls

I've finally handled testing this and ... SUCCESS !
Changing the plugin-advertised version surely gets you
possibly supported version. I'm getting the v8 player
with v8 advertised player, and most videos work.
So, on with the plan now...
Only thing is that the plugin-advertised version has a different
format from the AS-advertised version (uff) so the newly added --flash-version will need some tweaking before being possibly used.

And here's the plan:
1: add a --flash-version commandline option to the standalone
2: Have the plugin invoke gnash --flash-version to tell the version to use
3: Set default to advertise version 8 (debatable)
4: Have fun
5: Profit

This is more of a placeholder for a task.
This url:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44FQeTeusWM&feature=channel
As many more, exposes an AVM2 player.
Looking at the HTML theres' logic to optionally expose
other players based on the advertised flash player plugin
version.
I belive making plugin flash player version easy to change
would make lots of people happy as youtube would be visible
again.
More info in gnash-dev archives, Mar 19 2010.
A plan will follow here.
