I visted a site that requires flash and I get the following:
You need to install the Macromedia Flash Player plug-in to view all content on this page. Do you want to download this plug-in now?
Also I tried to watch a controversial video from you tube called the Root of all Evil
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2epvSAGuLc
and I get
Root of All Evil pt1
Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player
This might have to do, with not having the proprietary codecs or other stuff like that :(
But still thank you for sharing this, I will try it on i686 machine and maybe there it will work.
Regards,
Antonio
