[Swfdec] [youtube] Performance of video in flash

[Sreenivas Chowdary]

Hi,

         I am facing an issue while playing flash in mozilla browser
with DirectFb backend.
         I built firefox with DirectfFb backend. swfdec-0.5.4 also
already having DirectFb support.
         I ported some part of swdec-mozilla-0.5.4 code to work on DirectFb.
         After launching firefox a black screen is overriding flash
area. I could see flash is playing behind black layer.
         This issue seems like pixel format issue.
         Can any one have idea how to fix this issue. Is this issue
becuase of gtk, cairo directfb port or any other reason? Please
suggest me.

Thanks,

Best Regards,
Sreenivas
