Adobe releases Moviestar beta of Flash Player

Adobe has now released the new beta of their Flash player nicknamed Moviestar. The surprising aspect of this launch is that they have even launched a version for the Linux platform.

The key new features in this update are support for:

H.264 video
AAC audio
Hardware-accelerated fullscreen video playback (new for Linux in this beta; Win/Mac had it in previous beta)

They are as a result now offering fullscreen hardware acceleration during video playback using OpenGL/GLX on Linux.

The company has also reported that some users are facing a click bug (where no events are triggered in response to mouse clicks).
