well: having firefox 32 bit, you'll just get all the multimedia users on you, complaining that the 64bit vlc plugin, or mplayer plugin, or XYZ plugin is not working anymore... I don't think that's a good tradeoff...

There are valid alternatives, like totem-browser-plugin, which offers a better integration than mplayer. Moreover all these users didn't tell a word about that when the discussion was opened months ago.

Sure... there is always an alternative... like installing the whole system in 32bit. People not getting up because it 'will not work in the future' is obvious: many just don't understand exactly what impact such a discussion might have. And somehow I feel almost certain I raised the issue with Multimedia Plugins already back then (as VLC team member I have quiet some interest in that thing to work on my machine).

I think the way with nspluginwrapper is the way to go, and for Java push the 1.7 inside, which is rumored to work in 64bit installations... and have never get tired of asking the proprietary providers if they would finally like to provide 64bit applications too... I know this seems to be incredible impossible for some companies (from patching some source I also know why)

That's good news. But I would like to be certain of that :-)

I used that site quiet regular myself for a while... can't remember any problems with it (but I'm also not sure if I ever tried it on the 64bit system)... I'll give it a try this evening.. just to be sure...

Thanks. It stopped working recently for me. I don't know if it's related to the latest firefox patch or something like that. The result however is that on certain sites (google finance, some newspaper, ...) I see a white rectangle instead of the movie :(

I just tried again this morning to access google finance; the flash applet there works fine and I get the graphics. I use MozillaFirefox and nspluginwrapper from Mozilla repsotiroy in OBS Dominique --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
