x86: While netscape-flash-9.0.48.0-r1 is working 100% fine, and .60 works fine with mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.7 , version .60 with nsplugins-3.5.7 and konqueror-3.5.7 only displays gray rectangles. Could it be the missing standalone 'flashplayer' executable? examples : http://www.medusacinema.it/ (top and left of the page), http://www.spaceforce-game.com/ (top of the page), and a lot of other websites. re-emerging nsplugins didn't changed anything Reproducible: Always
> Could it be the missing standalone 'flashplayer' executable? No, it couldn't. Either go create another stupid symlink (see Bug 127200 Comment #23) in nsplugins or go complain to Adobe about flash being retarded.
You are right, symlink is there and the only missing files in version .60 from .48 are the docs. What's really strange is that firefox hasn't this issue at all, so it's probably something within nsplugins...

You need to stick another symlink in nsplugins (or make it use the /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins one) so that konqueror doesn't pick up the plugin directly from /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so (which causes this idiotic behaviour).
Yes the two commands: #mkdir -p /opt/opera/lib/opera/plugins #ln -s /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so /opt/opera/lib/opera/plugins/libflashplayer.so seem to have solved, I've just put them into netscape-flash ebuild, at the end of install. May be this the right solution?
(before you kill me, solution 1 and solution 2 from the report you linked do not apply to konqueror at all , mime type seems not to point to opera and plugin looks in opt/netscape folder...)
Now it's clear as mud, huh... :) Does anything from Comment #4 or Comment #5 somehow apply to this bug, which is about konqueror (and not opera)?
Ok, let's proceed step by step, I can't understand how bug #127200 may be related: 1) There's no difference in links (just readme files) between .48 and .60 versions, but one works and the other doesn't. 2) Solution proposed at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127200#c25 don't seem to work, I suggested to my konqueror to peek from /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins at first, but this haven't solved anything. 3) I even removed /opt/netscape/plugins from konqueror nsplugin panel to be sure it was searching only in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins, I still got a failure.
Flash-9 simply doesn't work properly with nsplugin & konqueror for 3.5.7 and it most likely won't for 3.5.8. Upstream knows about the problem and *might* fix it - or not. Not much we can do about it.
The really bad news is that as soon as Adobe releases a new "official" version, we have no choice but to drop 9.0.48.0 and move on to the new one, no matter what the state of the konqueror support is, due to the RESTRICT="mirror" forced upon us by their licensing. So be sure to take your 9.0.48.0 tarball (or RPM in this case) and save it somewhere safe for when that day arrives.
Couldn't you hard mask netscape-flash-9.0.60.0_beta100107 until the final version is out and/or this bug is fixed or at least put a warning about the konqueror bug and Jim Ramsays last suggestion as an elog message into the 9.0.60.0_beta100107 ebuild?
There's an upstream bug about this: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146784
Has anyone tried the newest actual release from Adobe (9.0.115.0) with konqueror?
