--- Comment #21 from Alexey Loukianov mooroon2@mail.ru 2012-05-29 09:34:12 CDT --- Well, this one seems to be heavily outdated.
First of all, I can't get any combination of Adobe Flash Player versions vs. Wine version to display flash player video control on Youtube. I've got installers for pretty much every 9.x, 10.x, 10.1.x Flash player versions that had been ever released (they could be downloaded from Adobe Flash player archives site - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html), plus installers for 10.2.159.1 and 10.3.183.18. None of them seems to work properly with every version of Wine I had tried to open YouTube site with.
With Wine 1.5.5 I've got almost immediate iexplore crash due to hitting some bug in its jscript engine. In Wine 1.4 non activex versions of flash player ranging from 10.1 up to 10.3 seem to at least load and partly work when trying to open http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html page with Wine's iexplore - the informational box at the top of the page loads up correctly and displays installed flash player plugin version. On the other hand trying to open any video on youtube with this config doesn't work - a place where flash video player is expected to appear remains blank black.
Downgrading Wine to 1.2.3 and flash player version to 9.0.47.0, creating a fresh clean prefix and trying to test Wine iexplore there also fails: youtube still fails, and "uninstall-flash-player-windows" page on Adobe site I had mentioned earlier also fails to display installed flash player version and then causes iexplore to crash in a few seconds.
Downgrading Wine to 1.2 or earlier is a bit difficult - vanilla versions fail to compile and/or run due to changes in FreeType APIs and Co so it is required to backport some patches in order to fix compilation problems.
I'm wondering if Flash Player had been working at all with recent versions of Wine as from my PoV it looks like it had never worked since (at least) Wine 1.2.3 release. If there is someone out there who had been able to successfully use Flash player with Wine recently I kindly ask him or her to post a comment to this bug with the instructions on how to reproduce their success. Thanks in advance.
