Most youtube videos are html5 too, so you do not really need flash.jamesbond wrote: Alternatively, Mozilla is trying to break free from Flash: http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/ is a flash player built entirely on Javascript. It works, but it's still in early days and not usable for viewing youtube.
For other sites the ViewTube script for Greasemonkey is pretty effective.
For other (than video) flash content though, you are out of luck.

seen that before, needs to be able to stream thedarewall....
jb - I have have just given a ubuntu mix a spin (http://oph.mdrjr.net/robroyhall/images/ ... 101.img.xz) and can confirm that streaming works via chromium in that build
I'm not competent enough to find details of the flash (or alternative) that is responsible for the streaming (sorry)
unfortunately too choppy to watch even when fully buffered which was a surprise given the chipset specs

It does use (and only use) flash - flowplayer to be exact; and refuse to display when flash isn't there.
But all is not lost. Thedarewall doesn't produce its own content, it only re-hashes somebody else's (the two videos I watched both came from youtube). They aren't even trying to hide it - go to the site, do "view source", then look at "og:video"; and you'll see what I mean. It's trivial to write a simple html scraper to collect the youtube url, and pass this to ViewTube script from mavrothal.
That's good to know. The question is where they got the Flash player. Really. Unlike the traditional Flash (which you can download from Adobe's site), Pepper Flash isn't distributed by Adobe, it is distributed by Google in their Chrome browser (no separate download) - and is actually internally maintained by Google (instead of Adobe). So you can only get Pepper Flash when you get Chrome. But (as far as I know) there isn't Chrome for ARM (perhaps bundled together with ChromeOS/Chromebooks, but I can't find a separate download page). So where did they get the Pepper Flash player?jb - I have have just given a ubuntu mix a spin (http://oph.mdrjr.net/robroyhall/images/ ... 101.img.xz) and can confirm that streaming works via chromium in that build
I found this http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2374. Note that the guys in the forum can't confirm the authenticity of the files. I've downloaded them and keep them (for the time I'm motivated enough to build Chromium) - and a simple "ldd" testing seems to confirm that all the library dependencies are satisfied, which means it *should* work on FatdogArm. But beware, this is unofficial sources, no updates, etc.
No worries, see my reply above. It is trivial for someone to write a script to pull the stream off thedarewall.I'm not competent enough to find details of the flash (or alternative) that is responsible for the streaming (sorry)
I haven't run Ubuntu on Odroid for a significant of time; but according to Mick, he found that Ubuntu is slow. Plus I did say that Flash (without acceleration) is slow (As of today, Pepper Flash on Linux doesn't use any acceleration).unfortunately too choppy to watch even when fully buffered which was a surprise given the chipset specs
I'll look into that minidlna stuff.
@All
By the way - the "bison" and "flex" packages in devx is built wrongly. I have corrected them. If you need to build something that uses either of them, please re-install the packages from the repo.

thank you
not many streams come from youtube, popular ones are putlocker (firedrive?), allmyvideos and ishared
I did find a hack a while ago (can't find it now) that ran putlocker through a media player (think it was vlc) but only putlocker as they showed the stream url in the source code
thanks for your efforts!

wifi
Hi James
Fred here
You asked me:
The error consists as follows: wlan0: deauthenticated from 00:1b:9c:08:70:95 (Reason: 15)
If I use wpa_cli and request status it will sometimes authenticate:
At the moment, I use the following script which is much more reliable
Seems something about ipV4 not happy Jan
Fred stumped again
Fred here
You asked me:
I had not been able to get the network wizard to make the connection to my router, hence tried the manual connection.By the way, why don't you use the network wizard from control panel? Why the need to run wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd manually?

Bootmenu

It's available some kernel / initrd for testing and use.
Thanks in advance.

It's available in all FatdogArm's kernel packages. All you need to do create the correct bootmenu.cfg and tell the kernel to use the bootmenu instead of the normal /sbin/init by specifying kernel command line "rdinit=/sbin/bootmenu".mories wrote:@jb:

I have found that recent kernels aren't very cooperative with it, though the "kexec" call isn't very reliable
Well that's a bug, one that I've just fixed here. But what you can do is just edit /usr/bin/updatedb and find all references to "/tools/bin" with "/usr/bin" and you should be good.IhaveU3 wrote:Hi puppies

And just to be on the safe side I've updated GnuTLS and OpenSSL too you need to pull it from the repo.

@jamesbond
I now have my U3 and am very pleased with it. The next desire is to return to puppy and I noted:
"You want to dual-boot Android and FatdogArm (instead of Ubuntu/FatdogArm, which is easy)." from the Alpha4 thread.
By that comment I assume you mean it is easy to dual-boot Ubuntu/FatDogARM.
Please explain. I have Ubuntu on the SD card as supplied with the U3.

It is indeed easy. I can't recall whether Ubuntu kernel has aufs, if it does, then just follow the steps in http://jamesbond3142.no-ip.org/wiki/wik ... koInFatdog and replace slacko.sfs with fd-arm.sfs
If Ubuntu kernel doesn't have aufs, then you need to extract fd-arm.sfs. I'm a bit busy right now so I'll just write the overall idea; perhaps others can chip in too.
Extracting fd-arm - you only need to do this once
Entering chroot
leaving chroot

Code: Select all
mkdir ~/fd-arm
unsquashfs -d ~/fd-arm /path/to/fd-arm.sfs
mkdir -p ~/fd-arm/{dev,proc,sys,tmp}
Code: Select all
for p in dev proc sys tmp; do mount --rbind $p ~/fd-arm/$p; done
chroot ~/fd-arm
Code: Select all
exit # make sure all other fd-arm programs have been killed
for p in dev/pts dev proc sys tmp; do umount ~/fd-arm/$p; done
