I really hope and pray that someone will come up with a different and less cpu hogging solution to playing vid o=in the browser. More than a year ago I had asked on the firefox user list if there was any hardware assisted way to play these vids. Of course I was told there was not. A few days ago I saw just such a blog about a hardware device to which the flash stream is fed, and which in turn feeds the the graphics. I have not seen any details or photos of the device. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
