Help Requesting Flash for Linux on PowerPC
Kai Staats is asking for the community's support in requesting for Adobe to port Flash 9 for Linux to the Power architecture (YDL, really). He also appropriately suggests for people to submit the requests with consistent[-ish] data, so the numbers work in the movement's favour.
- Kai's orignal request email (and format suggestions)
- Adobe's Feature Request/Bug Report Form
I haven't yet, but in the meantime, one could also try to use Gnash, a GNU Flash movie player.
Update: I tried Gnash 0.7.2 (in FC6 Extras) on my iBook G3 tonight. It's promising, but most definitely is a work in progress to say the least (admittedly so: alpha 2). Most simple animations work fine enough, but more advance Flash movies are still out of reach. It also does not seem to support the now iconic Flash Video format (flv), now made ubiquitous on the Web through such high profile sites as YouTube, Google Video, MetaCafe, and countless others.

there is a way to see youtube's videos on linux ppc. with:
-firefox+greasemonkey+downloadvideo script
- Mplayer with ppc-codec (available in medibuntu-repository for ubuntu)
you can easily download the .flv on your desktop & play it with mplayer.
see more (in french) here: Effraie on linux ppc
@effraie: Merci pour le lien! The mplayer-ppc reference alone was worth it. I'll give it a shot tonight. :)
Hi, I wrote a Python script that help you to watch directly(in streaming) from youtube the videos, you don’t need to download videos directly on disk,
it can be configured with a Firefox extension to open directly by Firefox the Youtube Videos,
look at http://myvs.sourceforge.net
bye
Alessandro.
@Alessandro: thanks! I'll check it out.
