Hi, if the flash videos don't play with gnash (youtube works fine with
recent gnash versions, Lenny's gnash is a bit behind) or lightspark, you
can always use something like mozplugger to trigger an external video
player (vlc plays flash files), or download locally with an extension
like VideoDownloadHelper (can also convert videos to other format),
DownThemAll or flashgot and then play them with a player of your choice.
