facebook video?

facebook ?

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Facebook allows users to record video via a Flash interface so that videos can be saved or sent to profiles. I admit that it is a pretty cool feature of Facebook and something I wish I could do with my tablet.

a thread about flash not working (not being able to have latest version)....

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Flash = Adobe

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!11!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!1111!!!!!

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

F*cked in Flash?? ;)

EDIT

Sooo sick of 'fixed in fremantle'. Is anything 'fixed in fremantle' gonna be "Fixed In Mer"? Cuz that would be f'n sweet.

(Drink Twice people :D)

EDIT

I'm a hater-hater by nature, but I did buy this thing cuz it's an internet tablet, and the ONE thing that I'm hating-on about my N810 is that the internet is not as cool when dipsh*t robots are telling you that your flash version isn't good enough. <sigh>

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I don't think that broken video support that worked has anything to do with a Brainstorm. It is simply a bug.

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Please, for the sake of transparency, use links. We talk about
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4744 here.
Clicking "Vote for this bug" can also help...

By the way, it seems your exclamation mark key is broken. You used 11 of them in the subject while 1 should be enough.

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

You're welcome ;-) (though I'm only the messenger for those messages, not the creator)

Basically that's the plan I'd say.

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Oh, it is? I thought that it was something that was never actually implemented. Sorry. ;)

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I've asked this before, I'll ask again: can we modify / spoof the Flash version? And if we did, would that make it work again?

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Running "strings" on "libflashplayer.so" reveals "Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48" plus many instances of "Adobe Flash Player 9" and "Flash Player 9". I'm guessing, but those could probably be ignored. The one string in the file that likely needs to be replaced is "LNX 9,0,48,0".

The problem is, the "LNX 9,0,48,0" string would need to be replaced with a longer "10" string, and if there's no padding around what's there currently, it's not going to work. I don't know enough to say either way.

It would fix those sites that demand newer versions of the Flash plugin without relying upon features introduced in those new versions. Sites that actually use new features would probably crash the Flash plugin.

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

What about changing it to "LNX10,0,22,7" ? Or is the space important? Anybody know? Anybody tried?

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I would expect the space to be important. It might be better to try making up for the extra digit in "10" by shortening what's currently "48". Hopefully, Flash doesn't count on that portion always being two digits.

If someone wants to try a binary patch, might as well go for broke and try "LNX 11,0,0,0". You're lying anyway, and you don't want to have to redo the work every time Adobe pushes out a new "newest".

EDIT:

EDIT2: Did recording video on Facebook using the built-in camera in the tablets ever work? Is there somewhere in Facebook I can go to try to play Facebook videos?

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I tried changing to "LNX10,0,22,7" using ghex (on tablet, of course ;) ) and Adobe tells me that I have version installed. Yes. No version number at all.

And Facebook still gorks.

Ok, now to try "LNX 11,0,0,0"...

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

OK, LNX 11,0,0,0 works for the Adobe web site (it reports 11,0,0,0) but Facebook still stubbornly says I need to upgrade my Flash.

:( :mad:

Any other suggestions?

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Yeah, Hulu isn't buying it either. "Unsupported operating system", just as with Facebook.

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Yes, they probably have feature detection...

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I believe the "Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48" string needs changing too, but I can't be certain. EDIT: Yes, I can be, thanks qole. :p

Disregard that, Bundyo knows his ****. :D

EDIT: Perhaps not :p

EDIT2: Gah, you're driving me crazy!

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Ha, no, you know your sh1t.

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.

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Myspace still doesn't work though. At least with 11,0. Hulu too.

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Hulu somewhat "working" with "Shockwave Flash 10.1 r2" and "LNX 10,1,2,0". The videos are still encoded at too high a rate for the tablets to handle, but the site seems to accept the Flash version as good.

EDIT: Facebook can't find the camera to record video, but no error messages. I'm trying to find a video there to play.

EDIT: Hulu spends a good bit of time "Loading video...", but eventually gives up with, "Sorry, we are unable to stream this video. Please check your Internet connection and try again."

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Aaargh, I tried with 10,0,8,0 :)

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Seconded. Thus far, it appears we can crush the error message, but we haven't found an actual workaround.

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Wow, that's frustrating. Facebook video pretends like it will work, even displaying the animated "loading" indicator, but it never finishes loading. Not with a spoofed 9.0.159.0, and not with 10.1.2.0, either. Same behaviour in MicroB or Tear, so it isn't a browser thing.

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

So, they are actually using something :D

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

how do you guys change the flash version to make it look like it's higher than it is. can any of you show me how to change the flash version?

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

gokuman56: but we said it doesn't work. Why do you want to do it?

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

some other sites i use say the same thing, if you could show me how to change the flash version, than i might be able to try other sites, and some might work.

could you please show me how to change it, thank you soooooooo much

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

gokuman56: You need to change the two strings (that we discussed in the posts above) in the /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so file using a hex editor. If you cannot figure out how to do it using that information and the posts in this thread (or at least be able to ask specific questions about the process), I think you shouldn't try.

But if someone else wants to give a step-by-step howto for this, please go ahead.

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

yeah, i'll need a lot more help than that, but thank you so much for all your help. can anyone show me a step by step way?

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Ok, for what it is worth, here is the hacked libflashplayer.so file.

Download it, gunzip it, make a backup of your current library, copy this one in instead.

• Download this file.
• Gain root.
• CD to the directory where you downloaded the file.
• Enter the following (note that there are only three commands, commands 2 and 3 both start with "mv"):

Code:

---

gunzip libflashplayer.so.gz
mv /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so.real
mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins

---

Report any sites that actually work with this hack that didn't work before.

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

i'm having one little problem:
i have rootsh installed, and the file libflashplayer.so.gz is stored in my internal memory. and when i type sudo gainroot and then /media/mmc2/ , it says permission denied, how can i fix this? it's in my internal memory card, and it would help me very much if you could tell me what to do. i'm somewhat :confused:

Re: make facebook video work!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Sorry--but I HAVE to make you see this. HAVE to, you see. :)
