Package: gnash
Version: 0.8.3-6
Severity: important

gnash now supports youtube videos pretty well; however, the same can't
be said for most other flash video sites.  i've compiled a list (in no 
particular order) of those that are currently broken:

http://video.google.com (videos will sometimes say loading, and some will 
play sound, but none show images)

http://www.hulu.com (the frame of the video player loads, but it says 
"unavailable")

http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes (just get a black window)

http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes (spiral continually spins)

http://www.cbs.com/innertube (just get a grey window)

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video (videos play with sound, but audio skips 
and gets out of sync)

http://vids.myspace.com (just get white window)

http://www.cnn.com/video (frame loads, but neither sound or video start)

http://www.break.com (frame loads, and continually says "buffering..")

http://video.yahoo.com (just get black window)

this applies to version 0.8.3 of the mozilla-gnash-plugin on firefox 3.0.3.
all of these sites work ok with adobe's flash 10 plugin on firefox 3.0.3.

in order to convince average users that gnash is indeed capable of meeting 
all/most of their needs, these less-common sites will need to be made to 
work as flawlessly as youtube.  i understand that it will take a lot of 
hard work to get there, but hopefully this list of problems is a good 
starting point.

this has been reported upstream at http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?24472.

thanks for all the hard work!
