Flash is dead – Use HTML5

"HTML5 supports video and audio without any plugin" .. Well, sort of - there's a tradeoff here: instead of relying on the user installing a plugin, it requires the browser vendor to support the audio and video codecs that you want. And while you are technically correct that youtube is converting to HTML5, they haven't converted fully due to certain issues with HTML5. Plus, they still use H264+AAC instead of VP9 + Opus because a large chunk of clients still don't support that codec pair.

I agree that they should move, but it will take time - they seem to be using the mobile site as a testbed for new stuff : if you dig closely, it uses HLS instead of RTMP which is a better protocol for streaming content in HTML5 players (personally I prefer DASH since it's the ISO standard and not the Apple standard... but meh, they look close enough to each other).. Now they just need to replace the desktop client to use HLS as well (can be still under flash) and stop using two different encoders for desktop and mobile (that's why mobile video feed lags behind chat so much). Once that is done, it becomes *very* easy to change codecs over time.
 
Adobe made changes a few years ago where a silent background service automatically checks and updates Flash player. Assuming the service is running correctly, Adobe flash should be patching itself on NPAPI and ActiveX platforms, not just PPAPI (Chrome).

HTML5 has made strides because of Android and iOS, but Flash isn't going away anytime soon on desktop PCs.
 
I think it was last summer or fall when flash had around 3 zero days in 5 weeks, I decided it was time to make flash click-to-play on all my browsers.

This means flash doesn't run unless I've whitelisted a site, or I take a specific action to make it play.

I enabled click to play after nearly every news site decided to make their embedded videos play automatically. Click to play really isn't as annoying as I thought it would be.
 
:think: There is a hell of a lot of info on the wiki... if you just look:

I don't know if you noticed this, but this site allows Sixty Thousand characters in a single post. That's an entire novel of words you can put here. So the few little words in your blog posts could just be copy pasted here much easier.

Jerry, using a commonly agreed upon standard for English text of 1800 chars per page, and allowing for 250 words per page, 60K is only 8333.33333333
WC. Not all that much if you live with V.V.Vic, (FYI that's Very Verbose Victor, if you didn't know) though I suppose I did not need to work it out to so many decimal points. (Can't help myself when I think 3's are going to come up like that, cuz if you turn your head sideways it looks like the bare asses of so many models bent over in a row, or boobs I suppose if you're a boob guy? And, BTW if your going to do that, you know turn your head sideways so you can see the asses or boobs, well if you're going to watch them for very long, you know, lets say you filled a whole page with 3's and you are pretending to play leap frog with them from the bottom of the page all the way to the top, or if you are a boob guy I guess you might be motor boating each of them, but anyway, if you're going to be looking very long, you're better off to turn your monitor on its side, so you don't have to hold your head that way too long. I fell asleep one time doing that leap frog thing and woke up with a hell of a sore neck.)

Thank goodness that story reminded me of what I was saying, I might of gone on at some length about things that give me a sore neck, or the difference between boob guys and ass guys, or how the # 3 really is a lot sexier than the other #s, and how it's real easy to see the asses, or boobs, if you turn your head sideways, but when you look at the # 8 it takes a little concentration to get to where you can see two girls pressed up against one another. Now what was I saying again?

Oh yea, the waking up part reminded me, cuz there have been more than one occasion when I fell asleep with Vic pounding on the keys, and woke up 6 or 10 hours later to him cussing and carrying on because he's reached that 60K limit, and can't find a single god dam word to pull out with out it ruin the whole god dam post, and how he is going to have to split it in two, but then that limit is going to make him have to double post - and on and on just yelling at the poor dog for laying the way he always does, and kicking at things and he always ends up kicking something he shouldn't like the computer or the end of the couch where the dog is laying, and dam near breaks his toes, (he actually has a time or two), He can go on like that for what seems like hours cussing and screaming obscenity at Amber and her god dammed stupid fuc**** limits and how the world has gone to sh** when I guy can no longer express himself with out something or someone always trying to restrict his god dammed expression and how it can all be tied to fracking and how it is the same thing that is causing all the bees to die. Why just a few days ago I woke up to Vic just erupting like a volcano spinning around in the middle of the room and jumping up and flailing his arms all around and punching right up toward heaven at nothing at all as if he wanted to sock god himself right in his big old god eye, screaming something about the world bank stealing all the snow this year so the dog sledge races had to start closer to the magnetic focal point of the aurora, which BTW according to Vic is nothing short of encrypted alien communication, and that's why they framed that guy that made Mcafee and made him look crazy because he figured out the encryption code and how that guy isn't even that guy anymore but an alien and the real guy has been vaporized or is half way to alpha centory or somewhere where he'll have to spend the rest of his days making the equivalent of licence plates for space ships and being periodically anally probed...

All I'm saying Jerry, is 60,000 is not so big if you think about it, and 3's are very sexy.
 
Oh, and BTW, when you divide 60,000 by 1800 you get 33.3333333 and when you multiply that by 250 you get 8333.33333 it's like an army of naked assed models being lead by two lesbian generals. and you can believe what ever you want, but you are not going to make me or Vic believe that is all just coincidence. :snooty:

Erm... "actual informations"... :?

Realistically, I think your best bet would be to ask MFC directly to obtain what you seek. This is not MFC support after all.

Good luck with that.

What about mfc newsfeeds?

So someone points out that the security of the login process is flawed and people, rather than just saying "I wasn't aware so thank you" or "I am not particularly bothered" instead went on the "WELL DUH..." and "Whatever, doesn't matter".

But it actually does matter. In the day and age where your own hobby forum (i.e. Ambers) has encrypted passwords, for MFC - which is a business - to not have is pretty bad. Wait, it's worse than bad, it's diabolical.

It is a problem that should be addressed, rather than just "lets sweep this under the carpet". You should be demanding better - not excusing it for being worse.

So what's the plan?

Thanks for this much more detailed informations. I don't know all this details. I just know the change to HTML5 has to be done.
I use the mobile site for that. It's okay even on Desktop. You still have Flash for the RTMP video stream, but the rest is HTML.
I agree with a lot of your posts, already mentioned some issues here or directly to MFC (including the Login stuff, I had noticed the lack of HTTPS back in 2010, so my password is very trivial on that website, hopefully only their payment processor handles the sensible data, although if their database security is really lame, it would be problematic for models).

sensible -> i meant sensitive.

Also, what you said about Google Analytics is kind of ridiculous: every website needs to track from where their users are coming from and how they use their website (which page they visit and so on) to improve marketing and usability (though of course, MFC has never drastically changed their horrible interface). If it really bothers you, just use Adblock (or better, µblock) with EasyPrivacy and/or Fanboy's Enhanced Trackers List

Personally, I just want more than a resolution of 320×240 in 2015… Chaturbate can do it flawlessly, why would MFC can't.

It isn't so much that OP's point on passwords wasn't valid, it's just that their approach to telling people was very spammy.

The fact that OP's April 11th post on their blog complained about MFC not updating social media quickly enough, I wonder if the password post is going to be the only one in their personal MFC comment card.

Yeah, websites should be hashing passwords, but a lot of them don't. That's why you should be using unique passwords for all your accounts.

Yes, sometimes they give us informations, but not always.

Yesterday they really posted about new features for 3 times. This is how it should be always.

And sorry for my bad english. I wrote "actual informations" but meant "latest informations".

Just so you know, Information is the plural of information in english. We don't add and 's' to imply mulitple amounts of information. :) Hope this helps
 
MFC is the strangest site, on one hand the interface looks like something upchucked from 1991 and that includes the security. However, the MFC mobile site is hands down the best especially if you compare it with the nightmare of Streamate mobile...you actually need to d/l a customized browser to make it work properly!

Did you know MFC can detect when a hacker has compromised your rtmp feed? They will quickly replace your feed with a rickroll video.

I assume that a skilled hacker could perform the secure handshake that is needed to get the real RTMP feed. Anyhow, the mobile website is using HLS protocol which has no such security feature.
