@AC,
Tried to simply enable the plugin in the Konqueror settings? I'm using Rekonq BTW. It doesn't realy work in Konqueror. And Konqueror without Webkit sucks anyway :')

Just installed gnash 0.8.8-1 and konqueror and mozilla plugins from debian/experimantal (x86 installation). Atleast youtube works on firefox, doesn't seem to work on konqueror. Might work though, maybe something about having gnash loaded in firefox first, don't know.

But you actually meant that the CPU usage is constant, right? Which sounds...odd...and stupid on Gnash.
That, plus the blocking thing you mention makes the "100% youtube compatibility" claim misleading to say the least.
I made a screen capture of it. It is a 20.7 MB ogv video, so it is pretty large. Uploaded it here in case anyone is interested:
I suggest the direct download option as it is pretty fast and without the standard crap.

However if you fullscreen it it still uses the same amount of CPU, but the video starts stutter and the YouTube controls get unresponsive. This is on a AMD Phenom 9950 quadcore
And YouTube blocking older crap like IE6 and older Flash versions.

The R5xx family introduced a more advanced onboard motion-video engine. Like the Radeon cards since the R100, the R5xx can offload almost the entire MPEG-1/2 video pipeline. The R5xx can also assist in Microsoft WMV9/VC-1 and MPEG H.264/AVC decoding, by a combination of the 3D/pipeline's shader-units and the motion-video engine. Benchmarks show only a modest decrease in CPU-utilization for VC-1 and H.264 playback.
I hope someday to take advantage of that.
Gallium 3D FTW?

By the way, I believe gnash plays flv files using ffmpeg, so it has to know where to find it.
Overall so far: garbage.
Originally posted by VincentI'm running Gnash 0.8.7 right here and it is 100% compatible with YouTube. It is just that YouTube has this policy of blocking old crap, so because Gnash doesn't authorise itself as the latest Adobe Flash version it gets blocked.

However, if you watch embedded YouTube video's, like on Phoronix, it works like a charm

gnash does not work. I give it an F overall.
1. It seems to require ancient and dead agg-2.5 (Anti-Grain Geometry/what is that? had to find it on the web) to compile. Configure does not tell you that so it gets an F here.
2. agg is difficult to compile. Another F.
3. Running plane configure with no options then compiling results in a successful compile. Running the program gives an, "Could not initialize GUI". Another F.
4. configuring with, "--enable-gui=gtk" produces, "Error: Could not load movie!" Another F.
5. configuring with, "--enable-gui=kde4" is a no go. Another F.
6. using the verbose switches give no helpful clues as to why flv files fail to play. Another F.
7. Where is the plugin? Another F.

To developers of this software: a plain configure should produce a working program.
