Since unstable gnash 0.8.8, I cannot play megavideo videos anymore. It just display "Connection problem" I'm a mandriva packager, and I provided a gnash snapshot (from 20100810) with ffmpeg for codec support, and it works fine on megavideo. Maybe as missing dep or something else on gentoo ? Thanks !

Still valid with gnash 0.8.8 final
Same result with gstreamer. I saw in the debug file that it couldn't read the header. Maybe the problem lies in libcurl. net-misc/curl-7.21.0 was built with the following: USE="idn ipv6 ldap (multilib) nss ssl threads -ares -gnutls -kerberos -libssh2 -test"
Try to build curl with USE="-threads", there are reports of problems otherwise. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=30357
That was it ! Is it possible to add a USE curl -threads to gnash dependencies ?
I am still discussing these (and other) issues with upstream. Blocking net-misc/curl[threads] would probably create more headaches for users. I will add a warning for now, and keep this bug open until a proper resolution is found.

The curlSession should be rewritten in a proper way, and the shared libcurl handles should be removed. By then, gnash will be thread safe on libcurl. Clear the gnash project needs more hackers.
Upstream has committed two patches which are supposed to fix the curl threading issue. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnash.git;a=commit;h=c6116b3f7eb2d657141a55afa66d573fd1cda7af http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnash.git;a=commit;h=d7753930b9f710c6ee60af6d536d08e672db1491 You may want to give them a try. I will probably commit a new revision or snapshot in a week or so.
gnash-0.8.9 has been released with this fix.
