I get a 404 while with adobe works fine.

rm@eurasia:~/swfdec/swfdec/player$ ./swfplay http://www.betterworldbooks.com/Flash/output.swf
SWFDEC: FIXME: swfdec_pattern.c(331): swfdec_pattern_do_parse: CAIRO_EXTEND_PAD is not yet implemented

SWFDEC: ERROR: swfdec_loader.c(335): swfdec_loader_error: error in loader 0x83fd458: 404 Not Found

I sniffed the traffic with ethereal on both a machine with the adobe flash player and mine with swfdec and see a difference in the requested url:

What html page is that file loaded from?
I get the same bug in Adobe's standalone player when opening your URL, so I assume there's something in the Flash plugin or the HTML page that we need to do when opening URLs.

Comment 2 Benjamin Otte 2008-01-03 01:51:51 UTC

Ok, that was obvious - It's loaded from http://www.betterworldbooks.com/ :)

Comment 3 Riccardo Magliocchetti 2008-01-05 06:22:13 UTC

I see the same here and AFAIR this one worked fine some times ago:
http://www.smartjog.com/smartjog vs 
http://www.smartjog.com/smartjog/flash/box/vs-home6.swf

adobe
-------
GET /smartjog/flash/box/vs-home6.swf
GET /smartjog/flash/box/sj-videozone-menu2.swf
GET /smartjog/flash/struc/cadrestructure-BIG.swf
GET /smartjog/flash/struc/bgstructure-BIG.swf
GET /smartjog/flash/struc/decostructure-BIG.swf
GET /smartjog/flash/box/sj-content-home1.swf

swfdec
-------
GET /smartjog/flash/box/vs-home6.swf
GET /smartjog/flash/box/flash/box/sj-videozone-menu2.swf
GET /smartjog/flash/box/flash/struc/cadrestructure-BIG.swf
GET /smartjog/flash/box/flash/struc/bgstructure-BIG.swf
GET /smartjog/flash/box/flash/struc/decostructure-BIG.swf
GET /smartjog/flash/box/flash/box/sj-content-home1.swf

Looks like the referenced swf files should have document root instead of
the path of the parent swf as root dir.

Comment 4 Benjamin Otte 2008-01-05 06:51:10 UTC

Problematic websites seem to be those that load their Flash content with src="some/dir/file.swf" instead of just src="file.swf".

It looks like the easiest way to achieve the desired behavior in the mozilla plugin is to just pass the relative URL verbatim to the browser. Unfortunately I refactored the API to do relative path lookup inside Swfdec and this now causes failures. Yay, another refactoring required.

This should be fixed in git.
