Comment 3 for bug 1130454

For a couple recent events the Ubuntu-on-air sessions were asked in #ubuntu-classroom-chat. Is there a plan to change that?

-----------------------------------

I've spent some time considering how lernid might be useful for ubuntu-on-air but I'm concerned about how to do that. The current version of Lernid will not display ubuntu-on-air video (or use any plugin, for that matter) in order to avoid crashes. See LP: 995695. I'm pretty sure that those with old CPU's without SSE2 with current flashplugins can't participate in ubuntu-on-air live directly through the web page either, although the videos are available from youtube within a couple hours in html 5/webm format in addition to flash if the youtube user has signed up for the html 5 beta.

Of course all this isn't desirable. Have there been hints of that in #ubuntu-on-air feedback?

This all originates from the binary-only flashplugin which Adobe has been unwilling to fix. It worked fine until one particular update.

For lernid I have an idea on how we might mitigate this problem but not eliminate it (I had been planning to do that much). Maybe we should talk somehow and then post a summary here (and maybe a blueprint, too).

 It's late in the cycle and I should be making a simple lernid update with some contributed patches in it.
