Appearantly, the adobe flash player doesn't work in machines with an sse-only cpu (pentium 3 class, ...).
Alternatives to flash player are gnash, lightspark and shumway.
I was wondering which of these is the best for sse-only cpu's (and up), for use in gentoo ?
The latest versions in gentoo are gnash 0.8.1 and lightspark 0.8 (see https://packages.gentoo.org/categories/www-plugins )
For shumway, there's an .xpi extension for firefox over at mozilla.github.io/shumway/ ; I doubt it will work in pale moon as is. Is there a shumway extension for pale moon linux (I see none listed at https://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/ ) ?

Don't bother with Shumway; it's been one of Mozilla's "experiments to see if it takes off and if not, abandon". It's not able to render anything useful of note, at all, and has been stale since 2015. If you still want to try, the Shumway page has a link to an xpi that is directly compatible with Pale Moon.

Ok, so would lightspark 0.8 do ? I never tried it.Moonchild wrote:Don't bother with Shumway

Re: SSE-only SWF player
You'll have to uninstall flash, and try lightspark on your machine to find out how well the current version works. I played around with Lightspark and Gnash a few years ago. One of them (Gnash?) did not package audio codecs, apparently for legal reasons. So the audio codecs had to be installed separately. With the expiry of the MP3 patents, that may no longer be the case.Peregrine wrote:Ok, so would lightspark 0.8 do ? I never tried it.
