[Bug 535155] Re: "flash-plugin-installer" deb missing as a "mythnetvision" install dependany

 

As discussed with reporter, we can't simply depend on "flashplugin-
installer | adobe-flashplugin" as the non-free adobe binary would need
to be shipped on the CD ISO.

We need to:
  * Experiment using gnash or swfdec, the free flash implementations
  * Remove mythnetvision from the default install of mythbuntu, and allow people to install it via the normal repositories (which will then be able to pull in the non-free version)
  * "Won't Fix" this bug and perhaps promote installation of flash through a non-standard method (perhaps change the behavior of mythnetvision to prompt.

Thanks again for helping with this doug!

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythplugins

MythNetvision requires flash to be installed for any of the existing grabbers. The current "mythnetvision" package does not automatically install the ""flash-plugin-installer" package if it is missing. In effect MythNetvison will work but none of the videos will play.
