they don't want flash on iPhones because it'll compete directly with their app store.

Wait... so the OS touted as the "it just works" OS won't work with the most adapted form of media in the world?
http://www.adobe.com/products/player...s/flashplayer/
All my windows machines have NO problem with playing flash, and don't crash when viewing flash etc. Not to mention windows has to work with a shit load of more applications, devices, drivers, while being non proprietary and still we have to listen to the mac fan boys banter...
Im SOOOOO sure that if windows suddenly stopped working with flash the Mac elite crew would be talking about how their snoot fest works with anything and everything, blah fuckin blah...
Cult people make me giggle..Comment

In all fairness, whenever my browser crashes, or the mac freezes, then the ensuing debug report that is sent to Apple *always* has Adobe flash appearing in the 2nd or 3rd backtrace line, which brought me to the conclusion that flash is the fault of crashing my browser and my mac.

Well, if you download Flash, you have to download the version corresponding to your OS. Which means, Flash out-of-the-box is not platform independent. Linux had to wait quite a long time for Flash.Wait... so the OS touted as the "it just works" OS won't work with the most adapted form of media in the world?

So, maybe Adobe just put more effort/manpower into the Windows version because of the much larger user base?
I ain't no Mac Fanboi, but business logic says that you put more effort into what is going to give you the biggest user base

Yes, Darwin Streaming Server will stream your h.264 vids no problem and allow scrubbing too.
Use MP4Box to add interleaving though to allow the scrubbing:
MP4Box -inter 500 <movie>
This is exactly why h.264 is excellent - flash stream or quicktime stream - just roll your own depending on what the client has. iPhone clients frikken love it.Last edited by borked; 01-31-2010, 01:09 PM.

Why do you need a player? The movie will embed fine with the Quicktime player. Of course, it means the user base needs to have QT installed, just as a flash player requires flash installed.

maybe its a good thing
If flash worked on i phones, wouldn't we lose lots and lots of our potential mobile customers to free porn tubes? just a thought. I'm happy bout it.. I have a sony Vaio laptop.. it kinda sucks.. its made in china.. the older vaio's were awesome..Comment
