Gnash Flash player reaches milestone, not destination

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:00:00 GMT
Gnash, the free software Flash player, has released its first beta. The new release is a milestone for both the project and the GNU/Linux desktop, which remains dependent on the proprietary Adobe player for handling Flash files (.swf). Although Flash support is not complete in version 0.8.2, Gnash has now reached the point where it is usable for the most common everyday purposes, such as watching videos on YouTube -- a point that Gnash was exaggeratedly reported as having reached last June. However, in many other ordinary circumstances, Gnash's success remains hit or miss.

NAME
ifpgui - Open source GUI for iRiver's iFP flash player SYNOPSIS
ifpgui DESCRIPTION
ifpgui is an open-source graphical user interface (GUI) for iRiver's iFP flash players. It uses libifp to access the player using the man- agement interface. In addition to moving files onto or off of your iFP device, you can use this program to upgrade its firmware or view the battery charge level. You can also set station names in the radio tuner, and more... You can only use this software if your player has the "Management" version of iRiver's firmware installed. iRiver also releases a mass storage (UMS) firmware, which allows you to access your iFP device as if it were a USB hard disk drive. libifp is known to work on the following players: iFP-1xx,3xx,5xx,7xx,8xx,9xx and N10 FILES
