Huzzah! You are right, latest 0.8.9 is much nicer (I was using 0.8.8 before), and the freeze at the beginning of video no longer occurs. I'm very pleased with the gnash development!

0.8.9 is changing very quickly.
Can you check after a new build ?
And please include gnash --version output in the followup (should include commit id)

Also, does it happen on a specific url ? Always ? Which url ?

I encountered this as well. When starting a Youtube video, the plugin hangs while the video is initially buffered for about 20 seconds. Afterward, only the audio is played while the picture is frozen, and it is necessary to drag the slider back to the start of the video to make it play normally.

Okay, I delved a bit further into this. Turns out what was happening is that the plugin froze while it was buffering the first bits of video (at least that's what it looks like it's doing). After some of the video is loaded, the grey guff goes away and it starts... kind of. The problem is, it doesn't start at the beginning... for instance, in a 5 minute video it will jump to the 30 second mark. And even then, the audio will chug along fine, but the image will just stay frozen in the 30 second frame. You have to manually move the player to the beginning of the video. Once again, once that is done, the video plays great.

This bug is for the current 0.8.9 snapshot plug in, on Ubuntu 10.10 and Firefox 3.6.13 (no other concurrent flash plug in installations).

When watching youtube videos, the first time the video loads, all I get is a gray screen that is sometimes preceded by a quick frame where you can see the beginning of the video and the intro sounds, followed by a shift to gray; other times it just goes straight into the gray screen.

However, if I refresh the page (usually only one refresh is required, but occasionally it takes more) the standard player appears and the video plays just fine (much better than it did on 0.8.8, major thumbs up there).

I can submit a screenshot if you want me to.
