HiDPI (Retina Display) support

Hello.

Is the long awaiting announcement decribed here: http://blog.kaourantin.net/?p=176 will be available in 11.6 ???

My eyes are crying each time I'm looking to a lolcat youtube video 🙂

It should already be working in the browser with High DPI; its the Flash Player Debugger and Projector that are not supporting High DPI yet. I just submitted a bug request asking them to fix it.

Have installed 11.6.602.108 on OSX (Firefox "Aurora" 19.0a2 supporting HiDPI), and this is not working ...

Have tried youtube and it is still blury.

Have tried http://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/flex/tourdeflex/web/ as shown on http://blog.kaourantin.net/?p=176, and this is still blury too ...

So, this is not yet included or fixed in regular plugin version.

Can you try Google Chrome using the default 11.5 flash player that is built inside of it. (Pepper Plugin) The problem is simple, Adobe hasn't turned on retina support for the application which is easily as simple as pressing a button at compile time. So the browsers instead are enabling it since they support HIDPI.

Incredible !!!

Yes, you are right, using Chrome Version 25.0.1364.2 dev, with (seen in about: plugins)

Adobe Flash Player (2 files) - Version: 11.5.31.135

Shockwave Flash 11.5 r31 , the result is incredible, compared to

firefox 19.0a2 using the system wide plugin 11.6.602.108

So studid 🙂

Thanks for your help ... will switch to chrome for my lolcat video 🙂

Firefox 34 / Flash 16 still does not support HiDPI at all. Why does the NPAPI Flash not get the fixes that PPAPI flash get?
