[Bug 15092] New: Adobe Flash Player 9 and 10: movies and images are messed up

Summary: Adobe Flash Player 9 and 10: movies and images are
                    messed up

          Platform: PC

When I launch a site with flash elements, i. e. wine iexplore
http://youtube.com/ and choose any movie (i. e.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VntFEWF8I8A), it will be played, but messed up.
Screenshots will better describe what I mean.

I believe the same problem is responsible for bug
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15075 , where in Steam certain elements
using flash flicker and have grey bars.

I tested it with Adobe Flash Player 10 RC so far, but I get the same results
with 9 in Steam.

$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ sh winetricks gecko
$ wine iexplore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VntFEWF8I8A

Works fine here.

It also works in firefox3, fwiw.

I did as you said and the flash movies in IE are still messed up - but it
partially solved the bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15075. Now in
Steam flash elements no longer flicker nor have grey bars, but the fading
animation is not perfect. Only the upper part of the pictures fades in and out,
the lower part changes rapidly or occasionally flickers while changing. Tested
with Adobe Flash Player 9.0.124.0 and 10 RC.

Should've been:

$ sh winetricks gecko flash

What version of wine are you using?

I did this and the only difference between that command and installing Flash
9/10 manually was that winetricks also installed Flash as ActiveX plugin.

Unfortunately, the images in Steam still flicker while fading and the movies in
iexplore tend to mess up every few seconds - just as before.

The version of Wine is specified in bug details. When I submitted it, I had
1.1.3, now I'm on 1.1.4.

I have also experienced this bug, it appeared when flash player moved from
version 9.0.47.0 to 9.0.124.0.  I remember reading that the adobe team
mentioned reworking portions of the rendering api to support multithreaded
operations, as well as many other additions being made.  I wonder if the
display glitch could possibly be some sort of thread safety issue in any of the
api's that wine is providing?

I tested this once again and now it's not even possible to play movies on
youtube. Instead of it, there's a black square with a text "An error occured,
please try again later" with movie playback controllers below.

I'll attach a log from a console and a screenshot.

Tested on Kubuntu 10.04, Wine 1.2-rc3.

Works fine here still.

Can you confirm you're using a clean ~/.wine ?

If so, can you attach a +wininet +urlmon trace?

Heh, with clean Wine I can't even download Flash with winetricks, I get a
checksum mismatch. Here's log from it - http://codepad.org/ShbzgzTN

That's not a Wine bug.

Run:

rm -f ~/.winetrickscache/install_flash*

and try again.

I did that and I still get the same error, so I downloaded Flash player
installer from Adobe site and launch it with wine install_flash_player_ax.exe.
It installed correctly, but when I launched wine iexplore
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VntFEWF8I8A youtube said I had to update the
Flash player. I clicked on the link to Adobe site and it goes into infinite
loop after choosing operating system.

My mistake, you still need to rm those files but you'll need to update
winetricks to the latest version too.

I downloaded updated winetricks as you said and even with them there is the
checksum bug.

I switched to wineprefix where Flash worked and created a debug output as you
wanted, I'll attach it.

The sha1sum is broken in winetricks. I haven't yet updated it, because of bug
23112.

Any progress?

Additionally, has anyone tested Flash 10.1 series?

According to Adobe some legacy code was removed in Flash 10.1 as it was causing
stability and potential security issues.  These code segments may also be
related to the quirk that is causing a bug with wine.  This would especially be
so if the "thread safe" theory was correct, as the older versions very well
could have presumed that all libraries were thread safe, when they very well
might not be.

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.

Flash 11.2.202.235 works fine with Firefox 12 in Wine so long as the workaround
from bug 17273 is applied. I just tested it on Hulu and YouTube--playback is
perfect.

Wine's iexplore.exe doesn't work with Flash; it crashes on YouTube, and Hulu
just displays a message that javascript needs to be enabled. The crash on
YouTube is probably bug 17273, but Wine's IE doesn't have an about:config, so
there doesn't seem to be a way to apply the workaround.

Tested in 1.5.5.

Just for fun I also downloaded and tested Flash 10.3.183.18 and 9.0.280. Both
worked fine in Firefox on YouTube and the Adobe uninstaller page mentioned in
comment 21 with the workaround for bug 17273 applied. Hulu worked with
10.3.183.18 and told me 9.0.280 was too old for the content on their site.

The crash in Wine's IE with Flash is probably bug 17273, but even if it isn't,
this bug was about garbled playback, not a crash. I'm calling this one fixed.

Rosanne, thanks for testing. I knew about Flash able to work with Firefox under
Wine, what I was wondering about if it ever worked with Wine's iexplore.exe.
Looks like I hadn't been clear on this aspect when been posting my previous
comment.

As for workaround, probably you meant one from bug #29077 as bug #17273 doesn't
contain workarounds and rather have some Wine patches attached to it.
Nevertheless, thanks once again for testing this one and it's nice that as a
result we've got one less abandoned bug to deal with.
