Hi, I have a fresh install of CentOS 5.5, with a minimal GNOME desktop. I configured RPMForge as third party repo. I updated everything first, then installed flash-plugin. (And yes, I restarted Firefox... :oD). All I see when I try to see some things Flash on the Internet, like Youtube or the likes, I get... nothing. The space remains white. Sometimes a black square will appear, sometimes it will redisappear again. $ rpm -q flash-plugin flash-plugin-10.1.82.76-0.1.el5.rf I also tried to give the more recent version from Adobe a shot, with the same result. I took a look in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, where everything seems normal. $ ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 nov 8 22:22 libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so Which leaves me clueless. Any suggestions ? Cheers, Niki

Any suggestions ?Hi, Try to put the flash lib in ~/.mozilla/plugins the following way: Make ~/Flash64 dir, put there libflashplayer.so from Adobe Flash rpm and then make symlink to ~/.mozilla: ~/.mozilla/plugins/@libflashplayer.so Why do you use flash-plugin? Use the latest lib from Adobe. 32 and 64 bit versions of latest "flashes": http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html My flash: Shockwave Flash 10.2 d161 (from about:plugins in web browser) Regards -->>> Please do NOT Cc me on Mailing Lists <<<Przemys?aw Pawe?czyk (P2O2) [pron.

Removed flash-plugin, installed development version. When I open about:plugins, I have this : Shockwave Flash Fichier : libflashplayer.so Version : Shockwave Flash 10.2 d161 But still, no videos can be played. Whenever I go on snotr.com, youtube.com or the likes, I either get a blank space where the video should be, or a black square the size of the video, but nothing in it. I tried this on two fresh installs on two different machines, with the same result. I'm clueless. Niki
