[OLPC-devel] do we need s/o to make .swf plug-in for olpc browser?

[supat at supat.eu.org]

Hi,

My web .swf need 338 MB RAM.
The two most famous web in Thailand http://pantip.com/ and 
http://manager.co.th/ need 29 MB RAM to play .swf

So far OLPC will take 90% CPU to play those web with smooth slow looking 
but cause no problem like playing my web http://supat.eu.org/

BUT in future, it will have more .swf in Thai web.
We should solve this problem earlier before problem become serious.

Did anyone has solution for .swf player, plug-in yet?
NXserver/VNCreflector idea may solve this problem?

Or we need to build servers for OLPC to connect around the world?

I am also test mplayer playing under OLPC and found that if playing big 
file on my web like:

mplayer http://supat.eu.org/~supat/intro/mov00001.mpg

then OLPC will crash in few minutes.

That is another point to consider in OLPC development.

Students will reject OLPC if it cannot play multimedias on internet.

regards,
supat
