Flash problems

**ludicrous** · May 14th, 2008

I had flash working fine, but it stopped working consistently a couple days ago for no apparent reason. For example, youtube videos will start to play fine for maybe half a second, then stop.

Sometimes they will play all the way through with no problems.
Sometimes if it didn't start but I drag the slider to somewhere in the middle it will play all the way through.
Sometimes it will crash Firefox suddenly without any warning.

I tried reinstalling libflashplugin-nonfree, no change.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

What i have found as solution so far is disable from firefox the security options Tell me if... From that point on, i face no problem at all.

Hey

I had the same problem with flash player and i can say it is really annoying.
There seems to be some bug with flash player and pulseaudio that causes it to crash.
There are a couple of things you could do, what i did was just delete libflashsupport and fixed my problem.

sudo apt-get remove libflashsupport

If that doesnt work for you or you dont have any sound when streaming, just go here for alternatives.

good luck buddy! cheers
