How to play embedded flash videos in external players?

http://askubuntu.com – As discussed in a separate question, embedded flash videos are abnormally heavy on GPU resources. The answer given by izx here (and namely in one comment) shows that ”Flash 11+ "attempts" (poorly, it looks like) to use the GPU (hardware) to "decode" the video instead of the CPU (software). Decoding is a fairly computationally intensive task, but most modern CPUs (except Atoms) will deal with 1080P HD without breaking a sweat.”. So, it seems that a solution would be opening those videos in external players, even without downloading them, so as to put to work the CPU instead (HowTos)

F17 Embedded Flash Troubles 38 weeks 6 days ago

Fedora 17 Firefox 14.0.1

Whenever I try to play embedded flash videos on a webpage, it just blacks out and thats the end of it. Before I uninstalled nspluginswrapper, it would go white or gray, but now that I've uninstalled it I just get a black box instead. No sound of video will play.

I can however, play videos from youtube just fine.

[Q] 1080p playback in U8800 24 weeks 1 day ago

I am using 2.3.5 official update. 720p videos are working fine with MX player with hardware decoding on. But 1080p videos are not working with hardware decoding. It plays with a lot of lag with software decoding in MX player. I am wondering if I overclock the device will it play 1080p videos with software decoding. Is there any other way I can play 1080p videos on this device.

Hi all. I just got my Razr M, had the original Incredible for over 2 years, and I love the phone so far untill......I went on Chrome and found I couldn't watch flash embedded videos. I googled it and saw that flash isn't supported anymore by chrome, tried firefox and opera with no joy. Does anyone know what or how I can be able to watch flash videos on the Razr M?

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.

I have a shared folder on Ubuntu Server 12.04. Users drop videos in.

I need help with online video players. I just installed ubuntu 11.10 about a week ago on my ASUS n50v. I updated everything and installed flash. everything was working fine. then the software center showed a few updates. I installed all of them. since then I cannot watch videos on some of the websites. Youtube works fine ... but videos on CNN, BBC, Facebook.... none of those work.

Hello everyone,

I can't play flash content in 720p or 1080p, even 480p in fullscreen lag. I've read this post : How to optimize Flash in Firefox but it did not work. I installed the drivers following Ubuntu Documentation.
