On Firefox - CNN Live and Google Play Movies works when I install hal from the PPA mentioned by omgubuntu. Chromium still doesn't work for me, maybe they are expecting some other Chrome/ium specific thing? Google Chrome works for Google play movies, but still not for CNN Live.
I found two upstream bugs for hal: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=selectBug&CFGRIDKEY=3103209 (closed as not as bug) https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=selectBug&CFGRIDKEY=3117732 (still open high priority, from 2012) I still don't believe freshplayerplugin is anything we could ever ship. I'll go ahead setup the UDS session. Thanks all!
