I've noticed today that YouTube had a redesign and I am happy that
Linterna Mágica is working (so far) without modifications. Might have
been a glitch, because of some changes they did.

Linterna Magica should take care of cookies. First it saves them, then
deletes them, then requests the page again and then if configured to
(default), restores saved values.

I don't know any. Linterna Mágica by default reports (at least it
should) when newer version is available. It should show an icon at the
header, next to the logo. Other than that nothing can be done, as long
as it is a Greasemonkey script.

I'm with 5.0 and my version of Abrowser is 8.0. Missing updates?

Unfortunately, no. Arora had no userscripts support last time I checked.
I've investigated the possibility of using custom plugin/extension,
because I wanted to run Linterna Mágica on my FreeRunner with Arora. So
far, I haven't figured out exactly how it could work, I have no code and
haven't put (much) effort in it. Might not happen at all, unless Arora
releases a version with userscripts support.

You are welcome.

Well, there was a proof of concept code for mplayer from Andrzej
Zaborowski, that used the Glamo chip to do hardware decoding of H.263
and MPEG-4. [1] I got the impression the life of the code ended with his
blog post from 2008. Haven't tested it myself so far.

As far as I remember I've tried Midori on QTMoko, but it was dead slow,
next to useless compared to Arora. After that discovery I had no desire
to test Linterna Mágica on the FreeRunner with Midori. Haven't tested
with SHR and Hackable:1. I find SHR too slow and unpredictable. The last
time I've tested Hackable:1, I found it too limited and unusable for
daily phone. I'm stuck with QTMoko as the fastest and most stable
distribution, excluding random crashes once/few time(s) per month/few
months. Meant to test pure Debian with some UI, but either had no time
for it or I had problems debootstrapping.

BTW there was a rumor that unnamed future version of Trisquel might
support ARM. That will be awesome to test (and possibly run) on the
FreeRunner with good and light UI. :)

I'm dreaming for a better, stable and faster distribution for the
FreeRunner. I'll probably keep dreaming. :)

I can't promise anything. The Arora integration requires C skills. Mine
are little bit rusty, if I had them at all, at a good level, and I'm not
in the mood for C right now.
