It started a few days ago, around Feb 14.
I'm running Firefox on Ubuntu, Lucid Lynx, with Shockwave Flash (flash player) 11.2 r202 which was just updated on Feb 15.
Just about that time I noticed that some of the videos on youtube.com won't play, the video play object says "This video is currently unavailable".
Then after a while, more and more until all videos on youtube.com wo
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.
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.
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.
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.
I just upgraded to Firefox 11 with Update Manager, and now I cannot play videos of any type in Firefox. I am on Ubuntu 11.10x64. I have Flash Aid 2.2.3 installed. I tried using the Wizard mode of that, but all it did was remove the existing Flash plugin and reinstall the same one: Version 11.1r102. If I run Check Update, I get a message saying there are no no flash updates at this moment.
Recently installed Lubuntu 12.04 with alternate installer on Compaq Evo N400c (850Mhz PIII, 20GB ATA HDD, 512MB RAM).
After installation of restricted extras and medibuntu codecs I realized that it can't play videos. I tried Midori, Firefox, Chrome, Chromium but all the browsers say: "Shockwave plugin cannot opened...." I tried Adobe plugin, no succes.
I've been trying to watch webm videos on youtube lately with only partial success. Some of them play alright, while others request Adobe Flash. For example, this video requests flash, and this one plays without.
When I try to play flash videos on Photobucket either in FF or Konqueror the page freezes for about 30 seconds and then the player disappears.
I'm pretty sure I have all my codecs installed.
Videos play fine on Youtube.
I guess this is a Linux problem not specific to openSUSE because a friend of mine has the same problem in Ubuntu.
