Adobe just released the numbers for Flash Player 9, update 3 (9.0.115) in addition to the major player versions. 61.8% penetration for 9.0.115 in 3 months is almost twice as fast as Flash Player has updated in the past.
It is really exciting news when you think that the majority of Flash Players are now taking advantage of multi-core support, and can view H.264 content.
Do you know if flash player is, or will be, capable of frame accurate positioning with the new h.264 decoder? It’s the one thing that has held up my abandoning quicktime completely.

Not really great news for us… 115 broke our content running locally (getURL(‘javascript:…’)) no worky) – this is a known issue without resolution (other than ‘recode your stuff with EI’).
Mature Markets 61.8%
US/Canada 62.1%
Europe2 61.9%
Japan 61.0%
Hi Justin,
Unfortunately the numbers in Brazil are not that great, we have 20% on some of our web properties The biggest Sports Portal and the Biggest News POrtal and in our Video Property (video.globo.com) the leader in audience in Brazil (besides YouTube) we have only 8% of the users has the r115.

is there any indication of the possibility of
flashplayer for freebsd ?
it’s been asked for many times over the years,
but nobody ever responds (even to the thousands of sigs on the online petitions).
it’s a great, stable (abi and under load) platform, but there’s many websites inaccessible
due to the lack of flash.
it’s severely crippled on the desktop without it.
I can see from the eulas that adobe use a lot of
code from the free bsds, would it be so painful to give something back ?
it would be worth much kudos if nothing else.
many thanks

Yeah! According to the information from Adobe official website:
Supporting a subset of MPEG-4 Part 12 (container) and Part 14 (H.264), including baseline, main and high profiles, Flash Player can play back existing MP4, M4A, MOV, MP4V, 3GP and 3G2 content.
Well done! Please keep going on!
