Many sites now, including YouTube, and many spammers, have gone over to HTML5, though some of those also work with Flash. Under FreeBSD, I built gnash from ports, that worked with YouTube but not much else but can't be built for FreeBSD >=10. I tried swfdec, but that didn't work on anything. There is also lightspark; I am not familiar with its status. In some cases, it is possible to download a Flash video with youtube-dl or get-flash-videos. Adobe Flash remains a bitter reality on mlb.com, nfl.com, wfpl.org, AT&T Uverse, among others. Tom
