OK. I have gnash 0.8.7 (02/2010) with firefox 3.0.14 on my Apple G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz with 2 GB of memory.
I have found that I can view most (more than even last week) youtube videos if I do one little thing before clicking on the link :
Ready??
Ready?
Wait for it!
I clear all private data (Tools / Clear Private Data). My settings are all checked (Edit / Preferences / Privacy / Private Data / Settings).
I have checked this several times with and without clearing the private data. I clear the data and it plays. Without clearing the data the same video will not play.
This marks a vast improvement over prior builds [that i have used without success]. I did notice that my processors are pushed towards 80-99% each while playing video. [ I have shared this with GNU project / Gnash ].
Anyone else have similar results? Let me know.
