Tried that here, still exact same error :(

I can confirm that url.url().toUtf8().constData() is returning this URL:

http://www.gamepro.com/ads/counter.swf

But then I still get the same message:

SWFDEC: ERROR: swfdec_stream.c(373): swfdec_stream_errorv: error in 
stream for http://www.gamepro.com/ads/counter.swf: Don't know how to 
handle this protocol

If I open this page in FireFox, it does render just fine, so swfdec is 
compatible with this particular example.

I did some more digging, and it looks like it is failing in 
swfdec_file_loader.c at line 60:

if (!g_str_equal (swfdec_url_get_protocol (url), "file")) {
    swfdec_stream_error(stream, "Don't know how to handle this protocol");

This makes it sound like it is looking for "file://" instead of "http://"?

Is this a bug in swfdec_file_loader?
