Is there a way to get Miro to use flash?
I recently downloaded Miro which I used to use with great satisfaction in Windows, however on Ubuntu, Miro cannot play Flash videos or sites because of Flash compatibility issues. Yet I have Flash installed and working great in other applications.
Is there a way to get it working with Miro?
Thanks
I had the same problem using both miro 4 and 5 however i found a fix and believe it will be added to version 6
gksu gedit /usr/share/pyshared/miro/plat/frontends/widgets/application.py
find
gtk.gdk.threads_init()
replace with
gobject.threads_init()
save close
then
gksu gedit /usr/share/pyshared/miro/plat/frontends/widgets/webkitbrowser.py
find and remove the 4 lines below plus the extra blank line under settings.set_property('enable-plugins', False)
#this disables all plugins -- Miro has problems with the
# adobe flash plugin and hangs when the plugin loads and starts
#this disables all plugins -- Miro has problems with the
settings.set_property('enable-plugins', False)
remove/save/start miro and now hulu and other flash sites should work through the miro browser
Modifying application.py
and webkitbrowser.py
worked for me on Ubuntu 11.10 with Miro 4.0.3. I just commented out the original lines (#) and added the one new one, instead of removing them completely... just in case.
