Hi there,
I’ve been using all the Opus plugins recently to build a list of them with screenshots and other details. I noticed that the SWFH plugin crashes when faced with (some?) SWF files sometimes, and it’s also very slow at processing others.
Not sure if the plugin is still “alive” but if there’s anything I can do to help debug it let me know as it’s a useful thing to have.

Sure, Leo
nice to see you here) it’s still alive, so we could work out something better..
One thing I can tell you: it’s slow because of SWF movie dimensions fetching out of the binary body, (some?) most of SWF files compressed these days, that’s why it behaves too slow, probably I should provide an option to turn this off and go for a thumbnail only which is pretty simple task to achive.

If you’re still active, I’d greatly appreciate if a 64-bit version of this was made. Thanks
