64-bit Adobe Flash Linux Support Is Back

[crazycheese]

Did anyone find a workaround to get the /tmp files back?

Using VideoDownloadHelper together with BetterPrivacy, best plugins for flash ever. Throwing the resulting links into Downthemall. Of course unless you want mass-based automatical solution,.. at least I didnt dig it.

Not that I would look, but exactly which site is that?

I have no ideia. This is something I read some time ago on an IT news site. If it is true then flash is already dead.

This...and it's about time we reduced our dependency on Flash and rely more on open standards for presenting video content.

or at least get behind Gnash and Lightspark for playing back legacy Flash content

Just incase you're not aware, you can copy the file descriptor from /proc/<PID>/fd if you want the file.....

[not.sure]

The only sad thing is that this version wont save flv videos into /tmp/Flash*

Or at least it deletes it. In /proc/<PID>/fd the descriptor says deleted:
16 -> /tmp/FlashXXU1p1aq (deleted)

The standards compliant element is <object> which has been around for a long time (maybe even longer than <img>). But browser support for this is not so great.

The thing that is REALLY disturbing about "flash video" is that you ***DON'T NEED FLASH OR HTML5*** to embed a video in a web page!

Just throw it in an < embed src = "path/to/video" > tag
** it'll either launch it into a media player, or if you have a media player plugin (like mplayerplug-in), it'll load it right into the browser.

This has worked since about firefox 1.0... or maybe even before that.

<EMBED ...> is not a part of the HTML 4 or xHTML 1 specifications, but it is still widely supported by modern browsers. Unlike other tags, the attributes used by <EMBED ...> depend on the type of plugin being used (this odd free-attribute concept is why <EMBED ...> has been rejected by the HTML standards makers).

I think that people who use ijunk don't have a brain and therefore are incapable of caring.

Droids all the way!
