*www.imgx.org/files/1615_xzkhl/Adobe-Releases-Flash-Player-9-Update-Beta-for-Linux-2.pngAdobe Labs announced yesterday yet another prerelease version of their award winning Flash Player 9 Update software, for Linux, Windows and Macintosh. This new beta version brings a lot of features and improvements over the previous releases, such as:
  • Support for H.264 video and HE-AAC audio codecs.
  • Multi-core support for vector rendering.
  • Full screen mode with hardware scaling.
  • Flash Player cache for common platform components, such as the Flex framework.
Other bugfixes:
  • When creating a "playlist" consisting of an MP3 stream preceded by an FLV stream of the same sample rate, the MP3 audio does not play back correctly.
  • H.264 support and full-screen hardware scaling are at alpha quality.
  • H.264 files using the loop filter flag render with artifacts on multi-core systems.
  • Playing odd-width movies (with screen widths not divisible by 16), in full-screen mode, may cause a crash.
Known issues:
  • Opera and Netscape do not allow recursive calls using the ExternalInterface API into the Flash Player.
Developers and consumers can use this version to test the content to make sure that new features function as expected, existing content plays back correctly, and there are no compatibility issues.
