can you try this one

in HD full screen for say 15 minutes? Works fine when in anything but full
screen for me.
I'm using these packages:
flash-plugin-11.2.202.251-release.x86_64
firefox-10.0.10-1.el6_3.x86_64
This is an up-to-date SL6.3 x86_64 system with sl and sl6x repos enabled.
I tested that youtube video in fullscreen and it ran without any issues for
about 30 minutes in 480p mode with 1920x1200 resolution. But with 720p mode,
it halts completely (audio and video) on my laptop within 5 minutes - but only
with certain circumstances. I then found this error in
~/.xsession-errors:
WARNING: pipe error (67): Connection reset by peer: file
/builddir/build/BUILD/xulrunner-10.0.10/mozilla-esr10/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc,
line 419
Checking it with gdb, attaching to the xulrunner-2/plugin-container process, I
see something which looks like a locking issue - probably caused buffer
underflows due to network issues.

I also noticed that if youtube could cache up more data (you know the grey
shading in front of the red progress marker) ... This issue did not happen.
So I'd expect there to be an issue in xulrunner, not the flash plug-in itself
and only when there is a lag in the data stream.
In 480p mode I saw buffer-underflows as well - but those times it would just
lag for less than 0.5 second and then continue.

Seriously, what's wrong with using the official Adobe Flash player? I
see you're using one from the rpmforge/fusion repo.
1. Go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
2. Select "YUM for Linux" and click download.
3. Install that RPM
4. as root: yum erase flash-*
5. Disable all those extra elrepo, atrpms, rpmfusion/rpmforge
repositories (look inside the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ )
5. as root: yum install flash-plugin
6. Enjoy a more reliable flash.
This way you get no 32bit nonsense on 64bit installations. And you get
something which works quite more reliable. I'm using the Adobe Flash
player (64bit) on a couple of my private laptops. And I'm watching
fullscreen TV broadcasts in hi quality resolution (3.5Mbit/s streams)
scaled up to my 1920x1200 display ... and if there are issues, that's
been related to not getting the needed bandwidth.
I've mostly had just troubles with those additional repos, so I only
enable them when it's needed. Otherwise, SL repos + EPEL repos gives a
really stable and reliable systems At least, that's been my experience.

David Sommerseth
