 |
|
Hello,
I like tennis and I follow US open which is in progress. I am having problem with the website, the content that requires flash does not work. I just get error message:
| Code: | This application requires features of Flash 9, at minimum, that are supported on the following browsers:
Internet Explorer 5.0 and higher
Netscape 8.0 and higher
Mozilla 1.7.5 and higher
Firefox 1.0 and higher
Safari 1.3 and higher |
I am up to date with current Gentoo, so all of these requirements are satisfied.
Can you try to access
http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/index.html
and see if they get the same error?
I want to see if the problem is my setup or if it is another Windows only website.
Thanks |

It is obviously a defective web site.
I get the same messages with firefox, seamonkey and konqueror.
However, if I change the user agent of konqueror to MSIE 5.5 under Win2000, it seems to proceed a bit further. It fails anyway with:
| Code: |
Flash 9 at minimum is required to view live scoring pages.
Please update your Flash player,
or visit our alternate HTML scores page.
|
Flash is up and working, version is ok as well. So, I can only say the site is just badly written. |

I'm on amd64, and I get the same error message. Relevant packages installed here:
net-www/netscape-flash-9.0.48.0-r1
net-www/nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.4
www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.6 |

Thanks guys for testing this.
It really looks like it is a website problem and thus not much can be done from our side.
I will try to notify IBM, who made the site, but I doubt they will actually do anything. |

Goto http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com/1/
Then click on Usopen Live scores.
It works about 90%. Now if I could read the tiny print. CPU usage runs between 50 and 85%.
IBM didn't fix it last year either. |

Thanks. I also get high CPU usage, but at least it works. |
