Package: gnash Version: 0.8.11~git20120629-1 Tags: wheezy patch Severity: important
Gnash is built with two media handlers: ffmpeg and gstreamer. Default is ffmpeg (libav) which is broken in wheezy due to deprecated api.
Biggest impact is youtube video play: circle keeps spinning, movie doesn't start.
To reproduce: $ gnash http://www.youtube.com/v/9sJUDx7iEJw?version=2
It can be workarounded by switching to gstreamer media handler: $ echo "set mediahandler gst" >> ~/.gnashrc or $ gnash -M gst http://www.youtube.com/v/9sJUDx7iEJw?version=2
Backporting following upstream change fixes that:
