    video problems

    I frequently use CNN.com for news. When I go to local sites from links in cnn, I have problems viewing video at the local stations. I do have the latests "flash" installed. Can anyone tell me how to make video work on these local sites ??

    Do you have this package installed?

    Yes, I do, and I also ran an update, but everything is up to date.

    I have 8.1 Ubuntu, I ran this command and now I have complete access to all video web and havn't found any web video that will not work. Give it a try.
    You need to use tab and enter keys to get through the java part.

    Install dvd support, audio and video codecs, flash and java

    In terminal enter this command:

    Code:
    sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y ubuntu-restricted-extras non-free-codecs w32codecs totem-mozilla libdvdcss2
