I installed gnash once a few years ago and I did gnash (my teeth). What is your definition of the word "working?"
Heh. I'd take gnash right now.I just can't bring myself to install the nonfree flash. (I've had a hard enough time convincing myself that it's okay to install non-free drivers and the BIOS firmware update packages.)
Gnash disappeared from testing a little while ago, and the lightspark plugin doesn't play anything, anywhere, ever for me.
Makes me happy that html5 is beginning to catch on.I agree that gnash was pretty frumpy, but I could at least play videos at youtube. Not sure what folks using Jessie are supposed to do for flash besides go nonfree.
Sorry for the slight off-topic rant. ;-)
