Issues with Flash 10.1/10.2

Ranguvar · 2010-09-21 18:03:17

Has anyone else had problems with the new Flash (not in repos, in AUR as flashplugin-prerelease)?
I haven't been able to watch anything on Warcraft Movies (ex: http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=130749), and there were a few other sites that had issues too, except I can't for the life of me remember... YouTube works fine, except on one or two videos I bumped into, the play bar was at the top of the video, unclickable, and it wouldn't load more than a black screen. Interesting.

I thought it was just an issue with the 64-bit plugin, but when I switched to using flashplugin-10.1.85.3 with nspluginwrapper, I had the same behavior.
I had to downgrade to 10.0 r32 64-bit alpha, which has known security holes, to get these videos to play back properly again.

I would assume this is the fault of the media players used by these sites that are misusing Flash in some way that is not supported in the new versions, but I'd like some confirmation if anyone else has had issues. Can anybody else play the video above? I'm getting odd debug crap in the video and no play function.

I'm using 32-bit, so I'm not sure how helpful my report is, but flashplugin 10.1.85.3-1 and the previous version work OK with this movie.

Plays fine here with flashplugin-prerelease 10.2.161.22-1 from AUR. Did you try with another browser/new profile?

I can watch the video fine as well with 64-bit Flash Player 10.2.161.22 in Chromium 7.0.517.8 and Firefox 3.6.10. I didn't have any issues with this Flash Player so far.

Using flashplugin-prerelease 10.2.161.22-3 I can view the video fine in firefox but not in midori where loading the stream appears to take forever (in the 100 bps range).

I am also having issues with flashplugin (from multilib). I'm running arch 64bit on hp dv6. When i first installed flash it worked fine for a few days then when trying to watch a video on youtube the screen was just white where the video should be. So after reading the wiki and forums i did the following .
made sure dom.ipc.plugins.enabled was true. still didnt not work
did a system upgrade, worked for a few days then stopped again
installed lib32-gtk2 and lib32-pango, then updated flash. worked for a few days then stopped.
Also suspecting that it might have removed a file or something like that i did not installing or remove anything after
I added lib32-gtk2 and lib32-pango

if i find a solution that works for than a few days ill post a new thread

Having ad-block enabled can cause this behaviour with Flash on some sites and videos.
