Cracking cheese madbiologist! Yes, I closed the playback window prematurely, as I did not have the time to see the whole movie again just then. (It is one of the many hundreds of ABC TV Australia shows I have stored thanks to Jeremy Visser's wonderful Python iView application https://jeremy.visser.name/2009/08/python-iview/ which legitimately downloads shows available from the ABC iView site. It only works for those of us living in the .au domain though.)
As the cat dmesg > whatever.txt cops a Permission denied response, even after using my sudo command, I have attached the entire dmseg file from /var/log/ as it is simply a plain text file anyway. Hope that helps. Cheers, Michael On Sat, 2011-10-08 at 16:07 +0000, madbiologist wrote: > Wallace and Gromit!

The previous version of this application had the Flashplayer plugin installed and working perfectly. Now, on this new version, I can only see flickering pieces of the video images when I press the F11 key repeatedly to go between full screen and window modes, as if a black overlay is blocking an underlying image from being viewed. I also just tried playing a regular (non Flashplayer) MP4 video and that encounters the same problem. Please advise a workaround. Thanks in anticipation.
