no flash possible

Hi, not sure if that issue already came up, but i like to share it anyway.

As i was browsing on a new Amiga computer (indeed) the system faces a similar problem in that Adobe does not support the platform. Since Apple does not support Flash also, it occurred that YouTube actually offers HTML5 in Beta to be used.
So what one has to do is simply typing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=(http://www.youtube.com/html5) and you are set. There are some limitations but overall it seems to work without the need of flash.

If this is old new, disregard the posting.

Thanks

Yes, I’ve registered for that. However, during tests, it seemed not all videos are available for viewing via the HTML5 player.

Yes, really - Commodore USA sells a newly-released Amiga.

No, this is not the Amiga i was talking about. Commodore (puh) makes just Linux based PCs with Amiga touch.

Well, just keep in mind that it states ‘beta’. So not all will function. Eventually it will. Still, even with some problems that occur i think it is a viable option to be without flash. Think of the iPad users, they don’t have flash either.

Ah, that would be another possibility, yes.

Yep, I realise that. I’m not a big viewer of online video content, but it will be good with he natural progression towards HTML5 delivery. I have a company iPhone, but don’t use it much for web use.

My brother’s a big Amiga fan. I had to send this link to him. :slight_smile:

It might be a long shot, but google chrome has built-in flash support. Maybe you can compile the open source chrome for Amiga?

JoergJaeger, can you tell me if this is compatible with old Amiga software?

The way i understand it, there is an emulation (huh?) that lets you use older 68k software. Maybe the best i can give you is a blog from some die hard Amiga user who writes about his experience with the X1000.
Epsilon’s AmigaOne X1000 Blog

At the moment i have no funds to buy the thing, but i intend to get me a A1200 for a project.

Anyway, i hope this helps and it may answer your questions.

Not sure. Did you mean for Amiga OS? There is still the linux route you can take on the Amiga as well. So in theory you should be able to run everything linux on an Amiga as well. There are some Amiga specific browsers as well.

True, but i think the factor that makes it expensive is the low units produced. And, hey, don’t you want something special :smiley:
