How to play local stored flashvideo.swf ?

English Multimedia
1

Hi,

I’m able to stream and play a flashvideo.swf file over Internet using Firefox and Google-Chrome.
But when I download the same file I cannot play it trying two media players:

  • The default VLC shows only a black screen with the vlc logo in the middle
  • The Gnome-Videos (Totem) show a warning that a pluging application/x-shockwave-flash decoder is required, but it doesn’t find the plugin after search.

The flashvideo.swf file is here:
https://www.ansatt.hig.no/leifs/Mekanikk/Kap%204/Oppg%205_1%20Statikk-Irgens/Oppg-5_1-LF.swf

If possible, how to play local stored flashvideo.swf files?

My system is openSUSE 13.2 x86_64/Gnome 3.14.4 and kernel 3.16.7-24-desktop
with the following installed:

patterns-openSUSE-gnome_multimedia_opt

Did you install multimedia applications and plugins/codecs following the
advice in the sticky posts here?

Did you try to open the local file in firefox? IINM this works the same way as if streaming.

Just tested with a local file, plays ok.

The difference, usually, is that my Firefox plays at 80% CPU load on two
cores, while xine does it at perhaps 30%.

I did use the 1-click installer for Multimedia/codecs for Gnome, yes.

The difference is that when I click on the flash.swf file on Internet, Firefox and Google-Chrome play it directly ok without questions. But I use FF to open the locally stored flash.swf file, I’m asked first what FF should do with this file. From the options I have tried to open it using default VLC and next Gnome-videos without success (as posted first), and equivalent issue when using Google-Chrome.

FF about: plugins tells:

Shockwave Flash

File: libflashplayer.so
Path: /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
Version: 11.2.202.508
State: Enabled
Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202

Hi
Add it to your user mime list;


vi .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
{add the following}
application/x-shockwave-flash

If there are other entries related, then remove those. Restart firefox
and press alt file open, browse to the swf file, open and you should be
good to go.

Just start VLC directly from the desktop or from the command line, and
open the file.

Also, do this verification:


minas-tirith:~ # rpm -qa | grep -i vlc
npapi-vlc-2.2.0-1.1.x86_64
libvlc5-2.2.1-288.1.x86_64

vlc-codecs-2.2.1-288.8.x86_64
vlc-noX-2.2.1-288.1.x86_64
minas-tirith:~ #

Then do for each one:


minas-tirith:~ # rpm -qi vlc | grep Packager
Packager    : packman@links2linux.de
minas-tirith:~ #

They should all come from packman.

I did:

cat .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list | grep flash
application/x-shockwave-flash

but no difference. VLC starts to play, but shows no swf video (only the black screen with the vlc logo)
The same behaviour opening the file and starting VLC from FF and Chrome. Chrome even warns that this file type can hurt the system. Tried also to start vlc from command line and from Nautilus but no video. Gnome-videos (Totem) still requires the plugin which it doesn’t find by using the search button.

I tried also that, no difference. I noticed that .swf is not listed among VLC video file types, had to list ‘All files’ to list it.

Also, do this verification:

minas-tirith:~ # rpm -qa | grep -i vlc
npapi-vlc-2.2.0-1.1.x86_64
libvlc5-2.2.1-288.1.x86_64

vlc-codecs-2.2.1-288.8.x86_64
vlc-noX-2.2.1-288.1.x86_64
minas-tirith:~ #

I missed two of these packages and installed them with zypper:

  • vlc-gnome
  • npapi-vlc (plugin)

Then do for each one:

minas-tirith:~ # rpm -qi vlc | grep Packager
Packager : packman@links2linux.de
minas-tirith:~ #

They should all come from packman.

Yes, ‘all’ except for

rpm -qi libvlccore7 | grep Packager
Packager    : http://bugs.opensuse.org

But sorry, still no success with VLC to play .swf files locally stored. When I play the swf file over Internet in Firefox, it starts with the (f) flash player icon and then (>) for play.

I also enabled (always) the VLC web plugin in Firefox, restarted FF and tried to open the .swf file again. For me it looks like FF still starts VLC outside FF as an external applications.
And looking on the mime file types for the VLC web plugin in FF about: plugins, the .swf flash type is not listed.

So, can swf flash files then really be supported in VLC?

Hi
So what other entries are in the the mimeapps.list? Did it open in
Firefox?

In VLCyou may need to change the graphics driver backend(?) in the
preferences.

The swf didn’t open locally in Firefox, which looks to start VLC as an external app in my opinion, despite the enabled plugin.
As it runs in Firefox only remotely over the weblink as noticed, I wonder if there might be a streaming server involved that change the behavior (out of my knowledge)?

My limited output from mimeapps.list, was just meant to show that no other app was related with flash.

In my opinion, you should forget Firefox, and try VLC standalone. FF
calls VLC, and this one fails.

They are not important, for testing VLC stand alone.

Yes, absolutely. I just tried:

See that the text output of the command prints some errors, but they are irrelevant: it plays fine.
For instance, it complains about nvidia, but this machine has no nvidia card.
The dvdnav error is also irrelevant, I’m not playing a DVD.

So, can swf flash files then really be supported in VLC?

Yes, absolutely. I just tried:

cer@minas-tirith:~/Download/Videos/Oliver Stone> vlc Los\ viernes\ de\ agosto\ en\ La\ 2\ Nueva\ oportunidad\ de\ ver\ La\ historia\ no\ contada\ de\ EEUU.\ de\ Oliver\ Stone,\ La\ historia\ no\ contada\ de\ los\ Estados\ Unidos,\ de\ Oliver\ Stone\ -\ RTVE.es\ A\ la\ Carta.flv
VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision 2.2.1-0-ga425c42)
…
RTVE.es\ A\ la\ Carta.flv
…

Looks for me that you play a .flv and not .swf flash.
Can you please download and test the same flash.swf file I pointed to

Hi
Move the entry into applications, not associations and restart the shell (alt+F2 r <enter>) or logout/login and try the file open with firefox…

What is the translation for “Hovedpakkebrønn for oppdateringer”? Ah, google says “The main repositories for updates”. Ok, remove those versions. Use whatever version is available from packman only.

Yes, of course, it plays using flash.
I can play it locally or remotely, using flash, in firefox.
I suppose chrome also plays it.

I did, and tried to open the .swf file again with Firefox. But the same happends. FF starts VLC which plays without visible video output. (black screen with vlc icon).

I tried to search for ‘flash’ in FF ‘about: preferences#applications’ and got:

  • Content type - Actions
  • Flash-video - VLC plugin (in Firefox)
  • Shockwave Flash file - Shockwave flash (in Firefox)

Why is the VLC player the only option to use (not Shockwave flash) when I try to open the local .swg file from FF ?
