Recently, a new version of Gnash was uploaded to Debian by Miriam Ruiz.
The most important thing in the changelog from my point of view is the following:
- Using KDE4 instead of KDE3
So I kind of had to test how the KDE 4 thingies works.
Youtube: The “videos being watched right now”-animation works, but I can’t actually watch the movies.
Random flash advertisements plays nicely. Unfortunately. I was happy to avoid those.
Conclusion: Some things works, but mostly the annoying things.
swfdec at least plays the videos ‘OK’, FSVO ‘OK’.
About the advertisements: I can only recommend NoScript [0] and Adblock Plus [1]. It’s a while since I’ve seen some ads anywhere.
Only »downside«: If you’re not using Iceweasel or any other of those related ones, you won’t get it.
Greetings,
Drizzt

Hi,
gnash trunk can play youtube video fine if codec are installed (it uses gstreamer).
Right, you’re probably missing gstreamer-plugins-ugly and/or gstreamer-ffmpeg.
As for KDE 4 support, in Fedora we’ve been shipping it for a while. :-) We first had a mixed KDE 3/4 version (KDE 4 KPart, KDE 3 viewer, which works thanks to XEmbed, the minimum porting needed to get it to work in Konqueror 4) since October 5, 2008 (backported to 0.8.3, then 0.8.4 since October 19) and we’ve had a pure KDE 4 version since November 13, 2008 (backported to 0.8.4).
