I finally managed to install the restricted extras package :)
Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem I've been having
Anybody has other thoughts? :?

I've been having a strange problem ever since an update from several days ago.
Embedded videos do not play on some sites.
Especially Youtube videos, but also others. Strangely, embedded vids on facebook do play, but on other sites they don't and I need to open the video on youtube.
I am using Ububtu 12.04 lts and Firefox for a browser. On chromium it works fine
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Which add-ons (extensions) have you installed? Perhaps, one of them is the culprit? What happens if you try with extensions disabled?

That wasn't it either :)
Strangely, other types of videos work, for example: vimeo.
is there some kind of difference between the embedded vimeo and YT vids?
Re: Embedded videos not playing on Firefox :/
What do you mean by they don't work? Nothing happens or do they crash?
Are you using a Nvidia card?

I mean they don't play...
But this only happens on firefox and started only a couple of weeks ago, so I don't think thr graphics cars has anything to do with it (ATI Radeon) :-k
Re: Embedded videos not playing on Firefox :/
It's strange that no one else seems to have the same problem... I must be doing something wrong.. :-k
Re: Embedded videos not playing on Firefox :/
I don't know if this makes any sense but it doesn't hurt to try. Go to a flash video and click it and then in the settings try changing the hardware acceleration option (disable --> enable or the other way around depending on the default) and see if it makes a difference.
Re: Embedded videos not playing on Firefox :/
Try this:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
Code:
sudo apt-get update
In that order, if that doesn't work check for updates in update manager and install them and then restart. :)

Ok, I think you are on to something here, because after going into 'settings' the setting window froze, I mean, I was not able to click on any of the options, navigate, or even close it (when I refreshed the page it disappeared).
Maybe I need to reinstall flash player..? How do I do that? :P
