[field #14]      Original Submission: Facebook clips are not loading when Gnash is not enabled. The code that extracts objects from JavaScript is the one for the swfobject library, but the regular expression does not match the DOM object id that should be used properly. Not tested with Gnash enabled.

In pages with video clips in Facebook, there are two constructors for the SWFObject library/class ...whatever in the same script tag. The code in src/lm_extract_js_swfobject.js matched only the first one. This constructor tries to insert the swf object into non-existent element or at least the ID is wrong. Unable to find an element with such ID in the DOM, Linterna Magica gives up and quits. Turns out the second SWFObject constructor has a proper ID for the element that will hold the swf object. The reworked code committed in r277 in src/lm_extract_js_swfobject.js now tries to match more than one SWFObject constructor in the same script tag. It tries until there are no more occurrences or it find one with holder element that exists in the DOM. It seems the change does not break other websites.

In addition, Facebook did some changes and the regular expression for video links did not match.

Clips are always extracted from script tags. Even when Gnash is installed the website does not render the plugin and complains that a newer version is required. Setting the version in Gnash did not help.

Added HD links support.
