Most Flash 10.1 content running on N900 with modified library. Not completely there yet!
 

With the biggest thanks to kevloral, noipv4 and pantera1989 we have Flash 10.1 running on N900 in a minimal state. The actual thread has been going on forever hence this new one.

Without wasting more time head to this post right away:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=967

and download the modded libflashplayer.so

I have personally tested sites that run Flash 10.1 like
miniclip.com
kongregate.com
nationalgeographic.com
facebook videos (someone was complaining about that recently)

and the games and videos work flawlessly.

Google Streetview still doesnt work.

Sites that have their own additional verification for flash version will not work as expected.

Post your experiences please!

Please modify the name of the thread. This is in no way 10.1.

ya plz its just fooling to be one..c'mon..

Re: Flash 10.1 running on N900 (almost)
 

Ummmm... isn't this just a modded plugin that identifies itself as flash 10? This may bring back some compatibility (which is great) but it is def NOT flash 10.1.

Re: Flash 10.1 running on N900 (almost)
 

It seemed to do some good anyway.
Tried the grooveshark site
Now I can listen from the site. Never could do that before

Re: Flash 10.1 running on N900 (almost)
 

noipv4 and pantera1989 deserve thanks for the initial idea/question too

Re: Flash 10.1 running on N900 (almost)
 

Apologies.. I think everybody knows that it's not the actual Flash 10.1 plugin but most sites that require 10.1 works with this plugin. I thought that was worth mentioning.

Nokia has the least interest in providing us 10.1 so I think this a big step forward.

I don't have rights to change thread titles so anyone who has please do so if needed.

Re: Flash 10.1 running on N900 (almost)
 

You can install it in NITdroid, but youtube is very laggy :(

Re: Flash 10.1 running on N900 (almost)
 

Technically, if they work with this plugin then they don't actually require 10.1 (whatever they may be claiming to require).

Re: Flash 10.1 running on N900 (almost)
 

If you edit your first post you can change the title.

That said, this is good news but I am still sad that google street view isn't working :(:(:(

Re: Flash 10.1 running on N900 (almost)
 

I have tried sites that actually require flash 10.1. Go to m.flash.com and all sites listed require flash 10.1 (apparently).

Try the south park avatar creator etc.

It has to be noted that I never tried them with Flash 9.x so can someone try that?

kongregate and miniclip never worked for me earlier and they do now (and pretty fast) so I am happy. I care less if it's the real deal or not.

Great news

Re: Flash 10.1 running on N900 (almost)
 

so how do i save the original file and then swap in the new one using xterminal,? anyone able to give full begineers instructions please?

Re: Most Flash 10.1 content running on N900 with modified plugin. Not completely there yet!
 

do the following as root:
cp /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so.orig

This will make a copy of the old libray named libflashplayer.so.orig


cp path_to_the_new_file /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so

this will overwrite the old library with the new file

I think the success of this points out that while Nokia is lame for not bringing flash 10.1 to maemo, Adobe is double lame for strong-arming websites into requiring 10.1 when the content does not justify it.

or you install midnight commander.
its really easy with the app.
you can find it in extras/devel

Re: Most Flash 10.1 content running on N900 with modified library. Not completely there yet!
 

or use SSH Server and Firefox ....

Re: Flash 10.1 running on N900 (almost)
 

This plugin is Flash 9.x - all that's been done is the version string it reports has been changed to 10.1. There's absolutely no other difference, so if it works using this plugin then it doesn't actually require Flash 10.1 (or not for any of the functionality you've tried so far).

Many thanks guys.

Here are a couple of screenshots of a youtube video played through MicroB in fullscreen mode.

Zoom in with volume control to activate HW acceleration!!!!

Finally, Nexus One and Android and iPhone suck as usual! XD

Since you created this thread, you would have permissions to change the thread title, I believe. Just go to "Thread Tools" on the top of this thread and you should be able to change the title.

anyone know if SIRIUSXM SATELLITE RADIO will work with this plugin?

Re: Flash 10.1 running on N900 (almost)
 

Though I can see some point in getting sites and users ready for 10.1 so they will be ready for content that does require it. If these sites all work with the fakeout in a year, I will withdraw that comment on request :)

Shush... don't make too much noise....

They may divert resources and stop working on official 10.1 if they know there's community workaround... and users are contented...

Re: Most Flash 10.1 content running on N900 with modified library. Not completely there yet!
 

I was thinking the same thing, even adobe might do something. I mean don't make any youtube videos about this modified library!

Re: Most Flash 10.1 content running on N900 with modified library. Not completely there yet!
 

Desktop version of youtube videos 380p/480p aren't optimized for mobile in 10.1!
But it has Opengl HW acceleration for flash contents, flash games etc!

Re: Most Flash 10.1 content running on N900 with modified plugin. Not completely there yet!
 

i tried midnight commander that was way over my head this makes alot more sense but where it says path to new file , what would the path be if i had the file saved in downloads on the normal file manager?? thanks

Re: Most Flash 10.1 content running on N900 with modified library. Not completely there yet!
 

it does not have hardware acceleration, its just a flash player v9 masked.

maybe the v9 player on youtube is an old one, and the newer v10 simply works better because its newer and have more love in it.

Re: Most Flash 10.1 content running on N900 with modified library. Not completely there yet!
 

No it is ceratinly not faster than the version that N900 is shipped with. You know why? Because it is precisely the same version only the number is changed in binary to fool sites checking that number. And please stop spreading false information.

guys, can someone upload the file to mediafire cuz i cant download from rapidshare thank you

Re: Most Flash 10.1 content running on N900 with modified library. Not completely there yet!
 

That thread has false information about AFP 10.1 at first,
second, you don't have the official 10.1 adobe plugin for ARM! Because how your are? I don't know you, so you're nobody dude! :eek:

Re: Flash 10.1 running on N900 (almost)
 

Just like how some crappy websites they it requires IE X.x - forcing you to change the user agent string to Googlebot or something and it will work happily.

Re: Most Flash 10.1 content running on N900 with modified library. Not completely there yet!
 

facebook videos work at least!

Re: Most Flash 10.1 content running on N900 with modified library. Not completely there yet!
 

I'm going to assume there is some sort of language barrier because nothing you just said makes any sense to me. This is simply a hotfix(for lack of better words) that basically acts the same way changing a Browser's User Agent does. It just fools the website into believe the content is being displayed through a Flash 10.0/10.1 Player(because most sites simply check the version number of the Flash Player plugin).

No features or performance changes were made to the plugin or any software, it simply changed a line text in the Flash plugin(I may be underestimating what they actually modified, but the thought remains the same).

Correct me if I am mistaken though, you may have magically stumbled upon some real Maemo-compatible ARM Flash Plugin that I have no knowledge of...

Also since the thread creator is refusing to change the misleading title could a mod change it and lock this thread? It can't lead to anything good other than flame.
