[SOLVED]Youneed to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video

i hate to make a post on something that is probly a real easy fix. but i have read and reread all the posts i could find on this problem. but none of them seamed to be the same problem that i had .or i just didnt follow the fix correctly.i am at point where im not sure what to do next.i have a fealing my problem might even be self inflicted. from applying fixs that wasnt for my problem. but what im getting when i go to youtube to watch a video."You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video" but near as i can tell i think what i need is already there.so if i could get some help with this matter i would be very thank full. thanks for your time in advance.

Give more infos on your hardware configuration and the packages related to this problem and how you installed them.
Explain more precisely what you tried already.
Nobody can guess.

It's very vague. Do you have flashplugin (i686) or flashplugin-prelease (64 bit) installed?

Weird, if you're using 64 bit you'll probably want flashplugin-prelease from the AUR

It's flashplugin-prerelease not flashplugin-prelease.
