Gnash Not Working

Hi there, im new to Trisquel and trying to make a 100% change to libre software. A website that I normally browse is liveleak, unfortunately gnash is not working with this site. I have searched the forums and seen something about quvi. Is this the only option for streaming videos from this site or is there anything I should know about? Thanks in advance.
As far as I'm aware, Gnash only works on YouTube and some very old Flash media. I suggest disabling it; many video streaming sites have fallback HTML5-based players that only show up if Flash is not available. For YouTube videos, I suggest either ViewTube (a Greasemonkey script) or UnPlug (a Firefox/Abrowser extension), or perhaps both. These both also work on several other sites (especially UnPlug). You may also want to install the user agent switcher extension; apparently, some sites have fallback HTML5-based players that only show up if your browser identifies itself as an iPad.
I checked that website you mentioned; it has a fallback HTML5 player if you disable Flash, and it also seems to work with UnPlug.

Liveleak also works with youtube-dl. Just download a recent version. Installation instructions are available here:

You could give lightspark [1] a try.
Thanks for the replys, havent tried lightspark yet but all the other suggestions do not work. Im getting an error
The video could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported: http://edge.liveleak.com/80281E/s/s/20/media20/2013/Aug/2/LiveLeak-dot-com-7a23974ffe8c-how_not_to_load_a_truck_on_a_trailer.mp4.h264_270p.mp4
Is this probelm something to do with mp4 then?
Also onpon4 how did you manage to get it to work? Thanks in advance for your patience!

The video works fine with youtube-dl:

Maybe it's using DRM? Does h.264 support that? I know I'm able to download the videos with UnPlug, but for some reason I can't stream them in Abrowser.
Perhaps the website is stupidly not including streaming support in the files? I think being streamable is optional in h.264, isn't it?
Yes you are correct, once installed from the repo you have to update it twice with elevated permissions, first time it tells you to run the update once more then it checks out from git if im not mistaken :)
While this is a working solution it would be a lot nicer if I could just stream the videos instead of having to download them all. Anyway much appreciated for coming to this thread to give me some advice. f00bar
Problem Solved!
I wrote a quick bash script which uses curl and vlc. Its a mess but it works excellent. It basically curls the front page then puts all the videos into a menu, then greps the selected video to extract the mp4's url and then streams it with vlc. :) Thanks for the help anyway guys. Much appreciated!
Heres the script if anyones interested!
