I can't believe we're relegated to the place where the desperate for functionality now have to use a hex editor to obtain functionality in a supposedly supported plugin on what should still be a supported platform for a current product from this manufacturer. >.<

I don't actually understand what you mean by "and then /media/mmc2/"...

try:
Code:
sudo gainroot
cd /media/mmc2
and then continue with my instructions above (starting at "Enter the following").

I really tried to warn you... This isn't something you should have tried... But anyway...

Did any of the commands return an error?

You seem to have moved the real plugin but you didn't copy the new one into its place.

You have two choices now. Move the "real one" back, or try again to move the hacked one. I recommend moving the real one back.

Moving the real one back

On one line, still as root:
Code:
cp /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so.real /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Trying again

Download the file again to /media/mmc2, then, as root:

Code:
cd /media/mmc2
gunzip libflashplayer.so.gz
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins

Facebook works when I change the LNX string to "9,0,159,0" and change the r48 to r159.

It works VERY SLOWLY, but it works.

EDIT: Well, I've yet to actually see a video, it just keeps "loading" and "loading". So I won't say it works, but it doesn't give the "upgrade flash" error anymore.

EDIT2: It never seems to finish loading a 13 second video. So I'd say it still doesn't really work, it just appears to work.

does the myspace music player work with this hack?

if i can get that working, i will be very very very very very happy.

EDIT
i dont care about video... thats what i have a 23" screen for :)

After something just this side of forever, the player does load. It displays the album art, allows me to select tracks, and even permits me to toggle between "Play" and "Pause". However, the progress slider never moves, and the joyous sounds of A Different Kind of Cop will not flow from my tablet's speakers.

No go.

So... is this hack useful at all?

It is useful to trick yourself into thinking all your favourite sites are going to work.

Does anyone mind trying Amazon's VOD site to see if this would make it possible to place an order? I have no desire to watch the video on my N80, but if I could start an order from work and have it download to the TiVo that would be pretty rad.

From what I can tell, a hacked Flash plug-in will get you closer to your goal, but won't let you accomplish what you want.

Amazon will show the VOD purchase screen, and I "bought" some sort of free "cast talks" video from the page to which you linked. However, the large Flash area near the top of the page--a section I take to be the actual player for the video--never progresses beyond showing "Loading" and some animated dots.

I've no prior experience with Amazon's VOD service, but from what I can tell, the "Download" button you want is part of that player that never loads. Therefore, you won't be able to get the videos you purchase with a hacked Flash plug-in.

Yep, after placing an order, the top section is supposed to load a screen that gives you either the option to start playing or download to a destination. I was hoping that it was only the "Start playing" that would require the latest flash.

I appreciate you checking though. They used to do this all in HTML, and it was a snap to setup an order from the N800, but when they launched the ability to stream in addition to downloading they changed the order process.

Go there on your device PC or whatever that works, read the version and try use the version that works for you. But if any service using something that Flash 9 on your N900 doesn't support there is no way to get this content working. I can give you many examples of that.

Try to go to http://wonderfl.net/ flash 10.0 required not even 10.1, doesn't work on N900 at all.

Everyone with PR1.3: enable extras-testing repository and download youself tweakflash app 0.4.0 (http://maemo.org/packages/package_in.../0.4.0-maemo1/)

I've tried it myself on PR1.3: after setting flash version to LNX 10,0,45,0 (recommended) the videos on facebook magically started to work! Thanks a lot to the developer of this app.
