Hi Everyone,
This weekend I tried installing the 64-bit Alpha Flash 10 on my PanP5 system and it finally worked! It looks like they refreshed it on December 8, 2009, and with me now running Firefox 3.5.7 (Shiretoko build) I figured I'd try it again.
After uninstalling the 32-bit Flash player and the wrapper I downloaded the new Flash plugin from here, copied it to ~/.mozilla/plugins and Firefox opened with no Segmentation Fault errors which is what I used to get.
I've tested it with about every Flash site I can think of, and thus far everything's running great. The Release Notes say there's still some problems that could creep-up, but other then webcam support still not being there it seems to be working great. I pointed the Hulu Desktop app to the new plug-in, and though it worked, about 30 minutes into a video Hulu hosed with some generic error and closed. I don't know if it's because of the Flash plugin or what, but Hulu Desktop played MUCH smoother with the 64-bit Alpha Flash plugin than it ever did with 32-bit Flash going through the wrapper.
Anyway, FYI if anyone wants to give this a try.
Take care,
Sam
