Adobe Flash 10.2 Brings Linux Video Acceleration

From reading Adobe's blog post, it sounds like flash files have to be explicitly written to use the new rendering method... it's not automatic. So, until flash video players are rewritten to use the new method, you won't see any performance improvements.
For content providers, Stage Video will work with all of the existing video viewed in Flash Player once they utilize the new API in their video player SWFs.
[...]
Developers can learn more about how to enable their sites to take advantage of Stage Video today, and sites like YouTube have already started adding early support for Stage Video.

Message to all software developers everywhere: Just because a problem is difficult or inconvenient, that does not mean you do not have to solve it.

Incredible ! I had never been able to watch a 720p video such as this one (less than 1 fps with the previous Flash player): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CZI2...ure=popt01fr15
Now my Core2Duo reports 50% utilization with a modest Intel G33 IGP, and it plays perfectly smoothly.
I cannot test 1080p with this small monitor.

Tried the latest Flash Player "Square" preview for 64 bit thanks to "My Science is Better" /the script here is modified for preview 3/
Code:#!/bin/bash # Script created by # Romeo-Adrian Cioaba [email protected] echo "Stopping any Firefox that might be running" sudo killall -9 firefox echo "Removing any other flash plugin previously installed:" sudo apt-get remove -y --purge flashplugin-nonfree gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla libflashsupport nspluginwrapper sudo rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/*flash* sudo rm -f ~/.mozilla/plugins/*flash* sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/*flash* sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/*flash* sudo rm -rfd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper echo "Installing Flash Player Square" cd ~ # 64 bit wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz tar zxvf flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz # 32 bit # wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_2_p3_32bit_linux_111710.tar.gz # tar zxvf flashplayer10_2_p3_32bit_linux_111710.tar.gz sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ echo "Linking the libraries so Firefox and apps depending on XULRunner (vuze, liferea, rsswol) can find it." sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/ # now doing some cleaning up: sudo rm -rf libflashplayer.so sudo rm -rf flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz # 32bit #sudo rm -rf flashplayer10_2_p3_32bit_linux_111710.tar.gz
Fullscreen videos are much more responsive than before and playing with volume media buttons on the keyboard doesn't go off fullscreen. Responsiveness in 720p and 1080p HD videos in youtube is the same with a lot of lag.
I'm using AMD HD4870 with Catalylst 10.11 and dual-core Phenom.
