Wanting to listen to magnatune.com while I worked, I discovered that flash is not working. It appears that I don't have libflashplayer, but yum tells me that no such package is available. I must need a different repo, I think, but what? Currently I have ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ adobe-linux-i386.repo epel-testing.repo CentOS-Base.repo kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo CentOS-Media.repo mirrors-rpmforge epel.repo rpmforge.repo I suspect that c5-media repo is discontinued. I've seen no error messages apart from 'No package libflashplayer available.' In theory I have installed the adobe flash-player, but apparently not. I'm stuck. Any help, please? Anne

In theory I have > installed the adobe flash-player, but apparently not.What makes you think that the package is called libflashplayer? Have you searched with yum? Ralph

Any help, > please?Well, I'll relate what I know. I checked out the website, selected 'Jazz', play hi-fi, and it worked. I didn't use the m3u feature. I checked Firefox's Add-ons; under Plugins, I have Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22. Just to really check it out, I clicked 'Disable', and the music stopped. [mykolas at sr1220 ~]$ ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ adobe-linux-i386.repo CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Media.repo mirrors-rpmforge rpmforge.repo Also, I did the multimedia thing - <http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/MultimediaOnCentOS>

Any help, > please?The package name is 'flash-plugin' -- it comes from Adobe, and you appear to have Adobe's repo (adobe-linux-i386.repo).
