Description:

The current version of Gnash runs and loads Youtube videos properly, however it will not play the videos. The progress slider stays stuck at 0:00 whether the video is paused or "playing".

Additional info:
* gnash-common 0.8.2-3, gnash-gtk 0.8.2-1
* When the video is finished loading (and refuses to play), this appears on the console:

[swscaler @ 0xb682e7b8]No accelerated colorspace conversion found

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install gnash-common and gnash-gtk.
2. Go to youtube.com and try to play a video. Video should fail to play.
This task depends upon

Using gnash with firefox it plays videos from youtube.com, but very slow, sometimes just the sound is played or isn't in sync with video.

If firefox is started from console I get the same output.

You used gnash from console (without a browser) to play videos from youtube, right?
If so, what's the command for doing this? - I could not figure it out...

I'm just using the embedded player. To get the console output I start the browser from the console.

Um, wait a sec. Didn't youtube just change to flash 7 or 8, and gnash only supports up to flash 6?

This seems relevent: http://wiki.gnashdev.org/YouTube

I don't know. Just installed gnash to see if I get the same problems like withheld reported. Normaly I use flashplugin.

This seems to be an upstream bug... Funny, Gnash used to work fine with Youtube.

No longer upstreamer; 0.8.4 should be able to handle Youtube, but doesn't.

Is anyone able to confirm this bug? Last time I checked gnash is working fine with youtube.
