Hi, i've got static opera 9.22 installed as well as netscape-flash 9.0.48.0-r1. I cannot view any youtube or google video. As well as any other video-playing flash. Firefox works fine, Opera does not. I don't think, it's actually a gentoo problem. But it's a problem, that gentoo-people should be aware of. # emerge opera netscape-flash -vp These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Try your luck w/ Opera folks, we've done what we could (Bug 127200).
At least older flash player plugins could not handle composite enabled X displays very well. You might therefor also require the following export that fixed flash on earlier firefox (and opera) for me. export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 Place early in the /usr/bin/opera script
As described in bug 127200 and in a ebuild message, adding /opt/netscape/plugins=2 to ~/.opera/pluginpath.ini solves this. BUT, this still isn't the best solution. Bug 127200 comment 18 says that /opt/netscape/plugins/ path is deprecated. If so, why is libflashplayer still being installed there? I think the actual fix to this bug is change netscape-flash ebuild to not install in /opt/netscape/plugins. (I would reopen this bug if I could)
Please, complain upstream. It works just fine with any other browser using flash, we have zero control about Opera code.
(In reply to comment #4) > Please, complain upstream. It works just fine with any other browser using > flash, we have zero control about Opera code. But you have control about where to install plugins. And, like I said, Jeroen Roovers told us that /opt/netscape/plugins/ is deprecated. Why isn't it removed, then? (and the plugin placed on /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/)
