Be able to download SWFs from error screen #19249
Comments
You can disable this by enabling the "Play SWF files in browser instead of downloading" setting. As for the actual request, could you send an example of a link to a SWF that has that issue? |
*Slight clarification: disabling; the setting is enabled by default. |
I don't see this setting?

See video for accessing the setting. If it doesn't appear, usually that means a direct SWF link won't load in Ruffle (because the browser doesn't support the declarativeNetRequest RuleCondition needed to make that work), so if it's not there but a direct SWF link is still loading with Ruffle that's bizzare: Screencast.From.2025-01-17.15-14-56.mp4Regardless, it's not a bad suggestion. I'll look into it. |

Just found by testing this, https://icerink.solero.me/media1.clubpenguin.com/play/v2/games/beans/bootstrap.swf is an HTML page made to look like an SWF. <!DOCTYPE html>
<html style="margin:0;padding:0;">
<head>
<title>icerink - /src/media1.clubpenguin.com/play/v2/games/beans/bootstrap.swf</title>
<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3650100964443150" crossorigin="anonymous"></script></head>
<body style="margin:0;padding:0;">
<iframe src="/src/media1.clubpenguin.com/play/v2/games/beans/bootstrap.swf" title="/src/media1.clubpenguin.com/play/v2/games/beans/bootstrap.swf" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;border:0;" height="100%" width="100%"></iframe>
</body>
</html>https://icerink.solero.me/src/media1.clubpenguin.com/play/v2/games/beans/bootstrap.swf is the real SWF URL. The extension player page can't load that because it requests resources that respond with 403 Forbidden, however. But at the very least it does not panic. |
Describe the feature
This is more of a minor annoyance than anything else.
The web extension will sometimes fail to load some SWF files from URLs with the error of "Ruffle cannot parse the requested file" or "Ruffle failed to load the Flash SWF file", even though I know for a fact these SWFs do exist on their own at the URLs.
I often need to download SWF files, but the extension automatically opens when I go to a SWF link (which is nice, don't get me wrong), and so it's annoying when this error occurs, because I then have to go manually disable the extension to be able to download the file. It would be nice if, on the error screen, there would be a button that was like "Would you like to try downloading the SWF anyway?", so I can easily download it from there.
Thanks for all of your hard work!
