Flashvideoreplacer & gnash
Shouldn't we just be going with one or the other (flashvideoreplacer or gnash) and not both?
The flashvideoreplacer seems to work very nicely for me at least, and would be my choice out of the two.

I just installed flashvideoreplacer and noticed that on Youtube it doesn't work without Gnash. Linterna Magica on the other hand doesn't require Gnash to work.
So flashvideoreplacer uses gnash to get the url and then feeds it to
another player? Hmm that's a bit weird and silly.

There is a bug in version 0.0.8-2. It only works without Gnash on
YouTube with GNU IceCat. Parsing script tags in pages might block
versions of Firefox, so a limit on their size was used. Turns out size
varies amongst browsers. At least that is what I noticed. Version 0.0.9
will be released in a matter of hours or max day(s) with lots of other
improvements.

I thought it was a very good feature :)

What will be that? Working without Gnash? It is fixed in 0.0.9. Found a
better way to make it work.
All the other bugs you have reported, here on the list/forum in another
thread are fixed in 0.0.9 too. Thanks.

I meant not needing to turn on Gnash and still getting video on Youtube was a really nice feature :)

Well, it is not just YouTube. Linterna Mágica doesn't need Gnash (or
Swfdec) in any way. It just makes sure that if it is installed, you have
the choice to switch between both.
Scripts in some web pages do not create the flash objects, if they
detect that no flash plugin is installed. YouTube is one of them. In
that case there are other means to find the video and where to place it.
I guess Flashvideoreplacer is only examining existing/created objects
and that is why it "needs" Gnash.

Gecko Media Player seems to play flash better on my computer (there is no video tearing and you can control the player using the keyboard shortcuts), so I don't find it weird and silly at all.
Gnash works for all the videos I've tried on YouTube, if I block cookies from YouTube. I'm using Trisquel Beta 4.5 (also works on Trisquel 4)
