Adobe Flashplayer Not Working Properly in DWM

I recently installed DWM, and I really like the way it functions. However, when I go to YouTube and try to watch a video, the Firefox window freezes for a bit. Then, the video randomly cycles through all the resolutions options, followed by it telling me that "An error occured, please try again later."

Is there any way to fix this?

Unrelated to dwm: sounds more like a graphics card/driver issue or if firefox is trying to use gstreamer https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fi … a_playback

This happened to me two days ago.

Maybe you should enable the HTML5 player at https://www.youtube.com/html5?

Seems it's the default player outside of Firefox anyway. http://venturebeat.com/2015/01/27/youtu … y-default/
