Flash videos and applets dont display

view story
linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – I posted this question on my disto-specific forum, however it appears to be a unique problem, so here it is: When viewing videos on youtube.com, most other websites, and when trying to run certain flash games, the flash applet will not display (though the audio will play). Instead of displaying the flash applet, there will be a grey box where the flash video or applet would normally be. This problem occurs on Firefox and Chromium, but not on Opera. My Specs are as follows: Distro: PCLinuxOS 2010 (32-bit) flash-player-plugin: 10.1-2pclos (HowTos)

Who likes to watch stream videos inside the flash videoplayer? Not me.That's how I got rid of it.First of all you have to install the flashblock plugin in your browser (there's a version for chromium and firefox). Other browsers, like xxxterm can be configured to obtain the same result.

FC17 flash plugin problem 26 weeks 6 days ago

Loaded a new x32 machine with FC17 XFCE. I went through the adobe flash plugin install procedure. All that went without incident. Used all the latest updates for FC17 and flash.

I try youtube, the videos seem to load but never start to play. Just a black square. Now, go to the plug in control panel DISABLE flash. Go back to the page re-load and the video plays just fine.

Adobe Flash Player in 11.2 3 years 26 weeks ago

Hello

Been having problems with flash, and I really need some help.

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall in yast no luck. uninistalled again.

I downloaded and installed Adobe Flash 10 rpm direct from adobe. I shut down firefox and then restarted...went to youtube.... no luck. I get the annoying error:

I'm running 12.04 and have a problem with the new version of the RTE player, which uses Flash. I've tried Chrome, Firefox and Opera, but all hit the same problem.

I know Firefox won't display mp4 videos, but from what I've read Flash can be used to play them. We have Firefox version 18.0.1 and Flash version 11.5.502.146

How can I make it so that when a user goes to a page with mp4 it plays it properly using flash? (or, if flash isn't the answer, the most accepted way to make it happen)

When I installed 12.04 I also added Ubuntu-restricted-extras. I decided to try accessing flash content in Firefox without the Adobe plugin, and I wanted to experiment with streaming video directly with VLC, so I removed flashplugin-installer.

Hello, I ve installed ubuntu 12.04.1 on my pc, (athlon xp 2200 - ATI Radeon 9800)

and when I go to YouTube with Firefox, the videos won't play... they load, but all I get is a black screen. The same happens when I navigate facebook, the embedded videos won't play.

the flash player plugin is installed, and also shockwave flash...

what could be wrong?

Thank you,

I am new to this operating sys

I reply to myself but I have found the flash video replacer extension to firefox. It is able to launch an external player for flash videos on main site that use flash to play video (youtube, etc...). It works great for these websites and allow me to see high quality mp4 video on youtube with my 5 years old computers using mplayer.

Hi, ive got Ubuntu to finaly work on my machine, but flash will not work. I have tried every fix I can find to make flash work. Installing the flash plugin etc to using a command line to install flash. Nothing works. Youtube has a black box in Firefox and chrome says it could not load shockwave flash.
