Description

Given the seemingly perpetual problems in Flash, I have inactivated it in Fiefox (using the Shockwave Flash add-on).

Now I always see the message with a request to permit Flash on the tvheadend localhost:9981/extjs.html website. I am surprised: is the WebGUI even using Flash? And where?

And if it is using it for a good reason, wouldn't it be better to say farewell to Flash, and use the less risky HTML5 elements, as many other sites appear to be doing?

No, the flash is not used in webui. Probably a html tag activates this which was used for some compatibility reasons.

Existing in version 3.9.2725~g9d042c2~precise
see screenshot attached

I find in http://10.0.0.20:9981/static/extjs/ext-all.js

many references to flash, like 

var swfobject=function(){var E="undefined",s="object",T="Shockwave Flash",X="ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash",r="application/x-shockwave-flash",S="SWFObjectExprInst",y="onreadystatechange",

I hope this has nothing to do with any "ads" being placed somewhere?
else{ac.flashvars=ad}

I'd surely prefer if that were removed if not needed!

OK. It's part of the ExtJS 3.4 library. A script which removes this object should be created.
