Bug Description

Browser plugin doesn't work, i.e. shows only a blank space in place where the flash animation should be. The same thing happens using three different browsers. I have no other crap installed (such as nspluginviewer), so far I used only native flashplugin (64bit). Using lightspark from command line it plays fine first two examples from http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lightspark/wiki/WorkingSiteList

Lightspark 0.5.1 on Arch Linux 64bit. This bug also affects v0.5 and possibly older versions.

Could you see what the command line youtube player does?

It is in git - probably we should ship it in the distro packages too

Alternately you can get more info out of the plugin if you run it like this

LIGHTSPARK_PLUGIN_LOGLEVEL=3 firefox youtube.com

Goddamn! Here's why I couldn't play it in konqueror and simillar browsers:

Because of the f****n nspluginviewer! If I delete $HOME/.kde4/share/kde4/services/nsplugin.desktop then the konqueror asks to download a Flash player (doesn't "see" lightspark). Opera also doesn't work. I've just installed firefox, and it works in firefox. So, this might not be a bug after all, does it?
