Environment setup
PhantomJS is a beautufil product to launch a headless web browser or your linux server. This can be used to automate a large amounts of tasks which can't be processed with raw curl.
So we have CentOS release 5.7 (Final), 32bit, and need to get completely loaded websites with Flash support. PhantomJS isn't supported Flash plugin since 1.5.0, so we need to use 1.4.1 version. All components can be installed via these guides: rhythmicalmedia.com/?p=146 and code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/XvfbSetup. All should be OK (maybe except the GIT insallation - but phantomjs-1.4.1 is in source code, so no actual usage of GIT).
To start Xvfb you need to add these strings to /etc/init.d/Xvfb
# chkconfig: 345 99 50 # description: Simple graphical server
To make chkconfig work with it. You may need xfvb-run script, one can be obtained from here www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Programs_and_Editors/Tectonicus/VPS.
Flash plugin installation routine
rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux yum check-update yum -y install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper
Command line must contain option --load-plugins=yes - so the correct ones will be
export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1;DISPLAY=:0 ./phantomjs --load-plugins=yes ../examples/rasterize.js URL SCREENSHOT_FILE
or
export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1;xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0, 1024x768x24" ./phantomjs --load-plugins=yes ../examples/rasterize.js URL SCREENSHOT_FILE
Also to emulate Flash support in phantomjs browser you need to add before page.open the following (at least plugins and mimeTypes - to pass all Flash detection tests correctly)
page.onInitialized = function () {
page.evaluate(function () {
window.navigator = {
plugins: {length: 2, 'Shockwave Flash': {name: 'Shockwave Flash', description: 'Shockwave Flash 11.6 r602'}},
mimeTypes: {length: 2, "application/x-shockwave-flash":
{description: "Shockwave Flash", suffixes: "swf", type: "application/x-shockwave-flash", enabledPlugin: {description: "Shockwave Flash 11.6 r602"}}
},
appCodeName: "Mozilla",
appName: "Netscape",
appVersion: "5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.22 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/25.0.1364.172 Safari/537.22",

};
});
};If you have any troubles with failed flahs plugin initialization (on screenshots) you may need to downgrade to version 10 by the following command
yum erase flash-plugin rpm -ivh http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-i386/atrpms/bleeding/flash-plugin-10.2-1.i386.rpm
All this makes headless PhantomJS browser work with modern Flash websites.
Hi.
ReplyDeleteI have Ubuntu 12 and I am trying to run phantomjs 1.4.1 on a flash site.
Anyway I do it I get the same output, either "this page requires flash" if I don't include the "onInitialized" function, or a blank page if I include it.
Using the --load-plugins=yes parameter makes no difference.
I am using flash v11.2 r202 and I am finding it hard to install a different version. I have the .so file for v10 but I don't know what to do with it.
Any idea what I could be doing wrong in order to render flash sites correctly?
Thanks.

ReplyDeleteHELLPP! I'm an inexperienced computer user, but I know one effective method when there are such problems. I often play various browser games, this is my way to relieve stress after a hard day's work. When problems occur, I immediately download the desired software and reinstall it, for example for browser games, you often need to reinstall it https://yumdownload.com/adobe-shockwave-player . I do this with all the software and even with the operating system.

ReplyDeleteBaby dresses are going to be in direct contact with baby skin, and for this reason you should use mild detergents when washing baby dresses. cheap flower girl dresses do get a lot of things spilled, or spewed, onto them, and these spills often cause stains. The mild detergents are not as good at removing stains so you will need to take some precautions to keep the baby dresses clean and looking good.
