libhal1-flash-0.2.0_p1.ebuild

libhal1-flash is a HAL (old sys-apps/hal) compatibility layer that provedes the functionality needed by www-plugins/adobe-flash for playing DRM protected content.

This package seems to be included into opensuse (at least that's where I found it).

I tried it on ~amd64 with firefox and a rented movie on Google Play and it works just fine.

I suggest it should go into net-misc/libhal1-flash

Ebuild attached.

If I had known about this, I would have tagged onto this bug.

I only found-out about this through:

Comment 3 Roger 2013-08-08 21:31:54 UTC

For historical purposes, this package can be tested with the following URL leading to the Adobe Flash DRM test video.  (Need to paste the video URL into the Flash player as instructed within the page.)

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/protected-video-content-play.html
See subsection: Test protected video content playback using the demo player

The ebuild should also include the above URL for a stable medium of testing in case users experience any problems.

Suggest adding the following within the EBuild, probably within einfo:

++ # Adobe Flash DRM Playback Testing
++ # http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/protected-video-content-play.html
++ # See subsection, "Test protected video content playback using the demo player"
