If I'm entering Youtube to check Shumway, where can I see if Shumway is running and working on a flash content?

And how Shumway do close to support Youtube?

Thanks for answering!

You will see the small Shumway text at the bottom when it's running. On Oct 6, 2013 1:52 PM, "PenguinIsrael" notifications@github.com wrote:

Go to http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/ to see an example of a site that works with Shumway running. You will see a little Shumway box at the bottom right of the flash frame with white Shumway text on a gray or black background if Shumway is rendering that flash frame. It will show up in the same place on every flash frame over a certain size.

When you mouse over the Shumway tag, an X appears on it that allows you to end Shumway for that frame and allows the Flash Plugin to render that frame. The Shumway box does not show up if Flash is rendering that frame.

I do not believe the Shumway project produces percent ready statistics for its functionality.

I looked at all of then, tiger, racing, pacman and the cubes. Only saw something in the upper area, like a red panel saying "Shumway Inspector".

Can you picture me and circle what do you mean? Sorry for asking a a lot. and Thanks!

It is obvious when you are using the Shumway extension to view the flash frame. If you do not see the Shumway box in the bottom right corner of the flash frame, you are not using Shumway on that frame. Example screen capture attached.

In addition to what radem said, the inspector doesn't use the extension or the Flash Player, ever. It is a custom usage of Shumway that works in every browser by just instantiating Shumway as a JS application that then loads in the SWF.

Another test you can use for whether the Flash Player is running is to right-click on the SWF display. If a context menu appears that ends in something like "About Adobe Flash Player [..]", it's running Flash. Theoretically, it's possible to hide this menu, but almost no content out there uses it.

Thanks raden! Thanks tschneidereit!

Thanks raden for showing me what I would see, and Thanks tschneidereit for reminding me this easy way to check in case I'm not sure.

Thank you all for the help, appreciating your assistance!

tschneidereit commented 11 years ago

What happens when you right-click on the SWF?

PenguinIsrael commented 11 years ago

Just to mention. me too dont see the black box like mikesolcr. Is it a bug or just a setting which should be done?

Me using Linux too, Lubuntu 13.04.

maikol-solis commented 11 years ago

Right clicking the swf I get the usual options, more "Show URL" and "Copy Profile" (which doesn't work). And I'm also using Lubuntu 13.04. 23

tschneidereit commented 11 years ago

That sounds like Shumway is running. I have seen cases where the Shumway button wasn't shown, too. No idea what the circumstances are for that happening, though.

PenguinIsrael commented 11 years ago

When I right click on the lightning there (http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/), I get the Adobe Flash menu. But I Installed the extension.

Oh wait, I'm using FireFox beta too, maybe the beta version don't support it?

tschneidereit commented 11 years ago

The extension works in Beta, but you have to configure some things: https://github.com/mozilla/shumway/wiki/Debugging-and-Configuring-Shumway#using-the-extension

Just found out about shumway today, wanted to try it out, and I seem to be having a similar issue as this, where it's just not working. Tried on 2 different linux systems, both running firefox beta, (Fedora 19, Arch). The following was tested on the arch system: Right-clicking shows the URL, profile, inspector options, but none of them do anything. Setting the shumway.dummyMode to true does replace the video with bouncing green circles, and the web console does display shumway outout, so it does seem to be loading at least. No other combinations of options get's the normal animation to load though. Possible culprits that I thought of: Noscript extension. Allowing all scripts globally does not help though, nor does noscript report that anything was blocked. No flash plugin. I don't have the adobe plugin installed, I don't know if shumway is supposed to work without it, or if something in FF is deciding it can't handle swf and giving up.
