flashplayer on debian-amd64 (sid)

["Hans-J. Ullrich" <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

Dear maintainers,

I tested some flash plugins onm my amd64 system.

According to this, I found out, flashplugin-nonfree either from sid or 
experimental is not working. This is because it is using nspluginwrapper and 
the 32-bit version of flashplayer10.

I have found out a better solution. Two opportunities:

---
First solution:

1. install flashplugin-nonfree from sid.

2. download 64-bit alpha version of flashplayer from the Adobe site.

3. unpack the tar.gz and copy the file libplayerflash.so 
to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/


Second solution (the recommended one):

1. Do NOT install flashplugin-nonfree (as you do NOT need nspluginwrapper!)

2. download 64-bit alpaversion as above.

3. unpack the tar.gz and copy the file libplayerflash.so 
to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins  (so it will be found)

This works perfectly for me in Iceweasel and Opera. Konqueror seems to be able 
to use it, too, but it does somehwo interfere with other plugins (maybe 
gnash?). I still could not find out, why it is sometimes working and 
sometimes not.


I recommend and like to ask the package maintainers, to build the package 
flashplugin-nonfree in that way, that it:

1. downloads the 64-bit version of flashplayer

2. nspluginwrapper is no more installed.


Please try it out for yourself, it works perfectly for me.

Cheers

Hans
