Hey ya'll jus installed songbird 0.61 from a .debs file i downloaded from getdebs.org. i'm totally new to songbird but its a COOL MEDIA PLAYER
the problem i'm having is songbird does not pickup flash, java or any of my mplayers plugins (i checked about plugins and its blank) so i cant watch any videos on youtube even though flash is already installed on my ubuntu 8.04 desktop. i installed all the gstreamer dependencies so i am able to play my Mp3 music files but i cant play flash vids or java in my songbird web browser
how do i get songbird to recognize that i hav flash an java installed ?? or
how can i install flash,java in songbird ??

any help or links to help is welcome

thanks in advance
