Problem playing Embedded videos on Firefox

[rausuar]

Hi all,

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 x64, latest updates, with the Medibuntu Repository and Flashplayer, along with the mozilla-mplayer plugin.

The problem is that when I visit webpages, mainly from news services and newspapers, and try to play or watch embedded videos, they keep and keep loading, and never play. When I do right click into the embedded video, it says that is using Flash Player 10.

Any help to fix this problem??? please if no answer can be found here, where can I post the problem to get a proper solution?

Thanks!

for 64-bits ubuntu remove the flashplugin-nonfree (adobe flash 32-bits) and get the 64-bits package here (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz), to install extract the package and move the libflasplayer.so file to /home/'user'/.mozilla/plugins (make the plugins folder) or if you have more than one user account place it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, thats all!

Okay a little more detail then:

1) Visit here (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz) and tell Firefox to download and open with Archive Manager.
2) Extract the folder by hitting 'Extract' at the top.
3) in the next window, navigate to
.mozilla/plugins. As he said, you need to create the plugins folder if it is not there, so, click 'Add New Folder' on the top-right corner and type 'plugins' and hit 'Enter'. Next, click on the folder once to highlight it and hit 'Extract' at the bottom.
4) Restart Firefox.

Bam.

what's the problem? if you running 32-bits ubuntu open the terminal/console (applications » accessories » terminal or console) and type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras hit enter, you'll need this package, it installs flash, java and codecs

He is running 64-bit, but its not that much harder.

davidcyber00 hasn't mentioned if it's 32-bits or 64-bits!

Your right I saw you quote the OP and assumed it was davidcyber00, without checking, my bad!:oops:

I know this is probably not the perfect place to ask for my question to be answered.. but i figurd .. I'll Try.. what the heck.
Ok.. I DID have trouble with my firefox and flash player.. but largely.. that is now fixed. NOW.. i have a side question. When i play a embeded video.. or News Cast.. its default is this tiny little screen.. which some times is OK.. the screen is clear and sound and video is matched.
IF i use one of the FULL SCREEN modes.. the audio is clear.. the video is not.. its close to in sync.. and some times IS in sync.. but the real problem is the little squares.. its not clear.. it looks terrible. IS there some sort of extra CODEX that i need to make sure that video is clear at Large screen? I am using a darn good video card.. in a 3 gig hurts system with over 2 gig ram.. on Ubuntu 810.
thanks

normally videos posted on the web have small resolution, unless it's a HD video it won't look very clear in full screen
