Comment (by Ian Goddard <iang@…>):

 Replying to [comment:3 stuartm]:
 > I don't believe we can trap these errors unfortunately, it's a problem
 that has plagued all browsers and even lead to Apple banning Flash from
 some of it's platforms. Although in this case it's not flash which is
 crashing itself, it's nspluginwrapper aborting. Their use of 'assert' is
 frankly amateurish, it's very bad practice to assert in any production
 code.

 I downloaded Arora which is a webkit based browser and although it will
 play some Flash it also crashes & burns in the same way on the same item ;
 on other browsers the item plays OK.  It looks as if it isn't a problem
 with webkit finding Flash (which might have been a problem for the iPlayer
 plugin in 0.24) but the interaction between particular Flash movies, Flash
 & Webkit.

 Re "assert" - agreed!

 Thanks for the info.
