Hey together!
I updated my system today and suddenly flash isn't working anymore. I just get a grey surface and the plugin isn't loading anymore. Here is the ouput from console:
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: Kann die Shared-Object-Datei nicht öffnen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
The program 'npviewer.bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
(Details: serial 1045 error_code 16 request_code 136 minor_code 17)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I use the multilib repo and also reinstalled flash, but nothing changed. Any ideas?
Best regards!

Lothium,
do you have an nVidia video card?
If so, try re-installing lib32-libvdpau package. Flash player seems to miss the decoding library:
Kann die Shared-Object-Datei nicht öffnen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
If not, switch VDPAU video decoding off:
sudo echo 'EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=0' > /etc/adobe/mms.cfg

Ok this is strange. All flashcontent works, only some videos on YouTube aren't working. I also did what you said, but it change nothing. So it seems to be a Youtube problem.

Youtube doesn't seem to want to work for me. Videos are messed up and distorted, but audio works fine.
flashplugin 10.2.152.27-2
epiphany 2.30.6-2
Personally, I'd rather be back in Hobbiton.

I think it's something on YT side, because I haven't changed anything in my setup (and my uptime is 5.5 days) and it has been working just two days ago - now YT plays audio only. I can watch videos embedded on other sites though. Apps like clive don't work either.
Edit: The new clive works OK, just needed to update ;P

For YouTube I changed to the html5 mode and it works very nice with chromium on most of the videos.
Best regards!

I have the same problem. It is just generally slow, and when I try to view a 2nd YouTube video, the 1st one crashes. Here are some screen shots:

It seems to work fine with Homestar Runner, though...

Thanks for that.
I was unaware that this was a global issue. I just had my video card tied to a chair with a knife to its neck when I saw this thread.

So ... what exactly is the ROOT here?

Is there another method of disabling hardware acceleration? When I right click > settings, the box appears but freezes. I am unable to uncheck the box or navigate around the menu, which leaves me with having to close the flash window.
I have experienced issues with flash for the past ~2 weeks (came about all of the sudden for no apparent reason) and all videos have been very laggy; I have also tried joining the youtube html5 trial with similar results. The strange thing, however, is that if I make a youtube video "pop out" and then readjust it so that it is full screen, the video works great (not exactly sure why)!

my current experience: flash video works fine in chromium (20% cpu usage) but is choppy in firefox (100% cpu usage).
Offline
A user on irc found a fix for unchecking "Enable hardware acceleration" for those having trouble doing so via right click --> settings; for some reason, it does work if you make the video fullscreen (even if it this makes video laggy). This resolved my flash issue and videos seem to be running fine for the time being...

Yes! I can confirm unchecking "enable hardware acceleration" fixes videos for me (they were only choppy in fullscreen, but still). Begs the question why hardware acceleration doesn't work though... did the update hose the video drivers and not flash?

I don't think that this is an Arch/driver issue (or any packages installed on top of it for that matter). At the time that this problem began occurring, I hadn't updated in weeks.

According to this: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3501867
it's on all platforms - linux, OSX, Win with version 10.2.x. Downgrading to 10.1.x solves it in most cases. It did for me.

It may be something on YT side. Flash worked for me on all sites, apart from YT. Disabling hw accel helped.

Thank you for solution. It`s working!

When I right-click on a flash video, "settings" is disabled (gray). Is there any other way I could disable HW acceleration?

As far as I know there's no other ways.
Try go to this page and see if the "Settings" option is disabled.

I can confirm the troubles. However I've got a bit of a tweaked system as I'm using jack as my soundserver. Using the flashplugin-prerelease and libflashsupport-jack from aur on an amd64 system. It does work with opera, it crashes regularly with firefox.
My solution is just a workaround: when I really 'need' a video I'll just download it using the known firefox addons.
Using a nvidia card I can confirm that disabling hw acceleration is a helpful action.
Oh well, let's not forget that flash on linux will probably never be smooth....

Thanks! Interestingly, that video is the only one I tried that has settings enabled!

I had tried that. Didn't work!
