iPhone users can get adobe flash playback with a 3rd party browser(i.e:skyfire). The mentioned internet browser also enables android users to play silverlight content.(e.g:NetFlix,IMDb and etc.) In addition, they said that it's likely that they will start porting their browser into Meego platform. Even if they don't, users could still get flash playback by installing Firefox. So to say that a platform does support flash content and another one does not is a certain misguide mostly caused by company ads like google (and others)

Therefore, N9 can locally play flash content with Firefox AFAIK, which is not too much different from native support.
Ah, and before I forget, have I told you that the N9 browser has the highest score in html5test.com versus the other mobile platforms?

Check DLNA specs. Or go to http://live.gnome.org/Rygel and check there, this is the implementation used on the Harmattan platform. Practically, all UI would need to do is to set appropriate bit in Tracker database and have rygel service started.
I cannot dive into details why and how Nokia does its own product development.
If you need some verification, you may check my profile on maemo.org (same nickname as on TMO).
I see no specific mention of work done in the area of video-out.
Good for you and thanks for your efforts...
But how does this prove you know anything about the implementation/s (current/future) of vid-out for the N9?
These threads, unfortunately, full of analysis of technical details done by people with little or not engineering background, thus many factual errors are present.
No the problem is there's little-to-no appropriate info, from which to derive a definitive answer.
If a mere attempt to correct those meets opposition, so be it -- I'm fine not to fight insisting dark ages knowledge.
You don't just turn around & insult the person questioning the basis for your claim

Some other devs turned around & said flash support isn't there for fenec.
It's somewhere in this epic thread....

What they said was pretty vague IIRC, so I guess there's still a slim chance.

There's some buggy recent-ish versions of flash people have tried amongst the thousands of posts in this thread
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37922&page=186
But flash 10x for ARM isn't officially supported, as Nokia hasn't bothered to pay Adobe for the licensing.
The buggy ones floating around are licensed to TI for OEM's using TI SoC's to "borrow".
