Mark: I was able to replicate your problem by attempting to run the video using "swfdec swf player", which you have installed. However, this is not a bug with the player because it is not meant to play *.flv videos, which is the type of video on the link.
I believe you are using "swfdec swf player" to load the video. To fix your problem, goto Manage Content Plug-ins under the Tools tab in firefox, then change Shockwave Flash (application/x-shockwave-flash) to Adobe Flash Player (installer). Finally, restart your browser and test. Hopefully, this fixes your problem. If not, you can remove the player by typing the following in terminal: sudo apt-get remove swfdec-mozilla and use Adobe Flash Player for all your Flash flies. Please let me know if this does not solve your issue. Since what you submitted is not really a bug, or a problem, but rather an idea to improve Ubuntu, you are invited to post your idea in Ubuntu Brainstorm at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ where it can be discussed, voted by the community and reviewed by developers. Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion! PS: Yes, you can copy and paste from an Email into terminal. Simply copy from the Email with terminal open, right click inside of terminal, then click paste (or Shift+Ctrl+V). ** Package changed: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) => swfdec-mozilla (Ubuntu) -- Videos not playing at this link: http://www.thedietsolutionprogram.com/videos.aspx?video=Do-Carbs-Make-You-FAT? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550607 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
