Issues with Opera and Flash Player

Hi everybody!
I just installed Arch Linux some days ago on my SSD drive and I have to say I'm loving it!
However, I'm having troubles with flashplayer on Opera. I installed both the browser and the plugin from the official repository.
The plugin is correctly recognized by opera and listed in opera:plugins but whenever I visit a page which requires it, all I can see is a black rectangle instead of the video.
In the wiki there are some suggestions on how to optimize the plugin; I tried those but they didn't work.
On firefox everything works fine, but I'd prefer to stay on Opera.
I also tried with gnash-gtk but also that doesn't work on opera
As suggested on a post on the opera website I also checked the dependencies of the flash player, but all the required shared libraries are present on the system.
I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

Issue with Youtube and Flash Player, videos don't play after a while

When I go to Youtube I can watch videos, but after I've player 5 or 6, when I select the next one, I get a snowy screen with a message "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback. Get the latest Flash Player". Issues is I already have the latest Flash Player, and it was playing fine just a minute ago. But from then on I cannot play more videos until I restart the computer. I'm tired of reinstalling Flash every day.
Win 7 64 bits, IE 9 and Firefox (happens with both)
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Apparently the browser at first recognizes that Flash is installed, but then it doesn't find it anymore. Not sure how that happens.

strangest thing... a few 'non-youtube' sites still work ok, but still complain 'no javascript' ..
so went to firefox (v17.0.4 ESR) 'tools, options, content' and yup, javascript UNTICKED!! :O :O my bad memory? something else??? {shrugs}
ticked it, now ok........ think im getting old?????? ROFL..

Opera and Flash Player

I am using Opera v 12 build 1467 as my browser and my OS is windows XP SP3. I have been trying to watch content from BBCi player and a message appears telling me to update my Adobe Flash Player. I have followed the instructions on the Adobe website but still get the same message. I have verified (via the control panel) that the laterst version is installed ( 11.3.300.262) but still get the same message. If I go to the adobe flash player help page there is no image in the box and no matter how many times I've tried to uninstall and then reinstall the flash paler the results are still the same. I have also checked Opera Plugins to see if it disabled but there is no entry for the flash player although shockwave & acrobat are there.
It appears to work fine in Firefox ( v. 13.0.1).
Is there something else I need to do or does the flash player simply not work in Opera?
I wouild really like to continue using Opera as it works well with few clitches.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated but please keep it as simple as possible as I am not very good with code or registry editing.
Many thanks,

fyi: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-7388

So what's the latest with Java and Flash Player?

...And excuse me for not distingwishing between them, but what I do know, is that Flash Player version 10,1,102,64 that was mentioned here as the one for Tiger 10.4.11 on PPC machines -- is no longer appearing on the list at the Adobe's site.
I also do know that I'm having some issues with other programs that require FP and/or Java...

*Flash Player for PPC Macs*
Adobe's last release of Flash Player for PPC Macs was in November, 2010 with release 10.1.102.64 Subsequent releases are for Intel based Macs only.
To check your installed version of FlashPlayer - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
To update you should download:
Flash uninstaller: [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,] Make sure you get the right one.
Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.1.102. 64_and_9.0.289.0_archive.zip] Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg
To install:
1) Run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive. If the hard drive reports errors then it will need repairing first (another topic). If it verifies, run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
2) Back up your hard drive, ideally to a bootable clone. A bootable clone will allow you to restore your hard drive to its original state should something go wrong.
3) Quit all applications to ensure nothing is actively using Flash. You can even do the next step while booted to Safe Mode to make sure.
[Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
[What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564]
[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
4) Run the uninstaller application. Adobe says, "Adobe recommends that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player."
5) Run the installer application from the .dmg file you got from the second download.
6) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your computer. This is important when installing anything from Adobe.
7) Restart your computer.
Notes:
Adobe installs things all over your computer. Simply dragging a file or two to the trash won't ensure you have uninstalled all old file components.

High CPU Problems With Screensavers and Flash Player - FYI

Upgraded my 1.42 Ghz PPC MacMini (1 GB RAM) to Leopard, fresh install and suffered high CPU problems as outlined in various other threads.
Fixed major 100% cpu and 100% FAN issue by removing The Weather Channel Screensaver - so have a look at your console system info and see if a 3rd Party screensaver is causing a problem, or if no 3rd party screensaver, try using a simply screensaver like Forest.
Safari/Netscape/Firefox also were using high CPU when a webpage was using Flash, I removed Flash Player 9 (latest version) and cpu load decreased dramatically.
Go here for uninstall DMG
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
Hope this helps someone else until there are fixes.

Just wanted to clarify that the Flash and Screensaver problem is still ongoing even after the latest QT updates as of Nov 07.
The Flash problems is with Flash images/code that use moving graphics/user input, such as those adverts you see where you push a button to punch Paris Hilton.
I think the overall problem is with the way QT/Core Image/Core Animation is different in Leopard compared to Tiger. As have now often witnessed iTunes just displaying the Cover Flow image area and nothing else (everything else in the application area is white) when going between applications, clicking on the iTunes icon in the dock refreshes the image okay.

Problem with Safari and Flash Player

Hi, I've done a quick search and can't find an answer, however since updating from Lion to Mountain Lion I've had problems with my (2011) Macbook Pro whilst in Safari, following a Genuis bar visit last week we managed to narrow it down to a flash player problem and uninstalled and reinstalled flash was told that should the problems persist (we couldn't get the computer to repeat it's beahviour in store) then to re-install OSX, now I've done this but still getting the same problem, screen not refreashing so parts of previous page or pop still showing over top of new page and Computer getting VERY hot (to the point of almost burning. Now I've had a look on Adobe website and they recommend running 10.3 rather than 11.4 and I managed to download it from them however Safari blocks it as it's out of date, also on my iMac running Mountain Lion Flash appears to be blocking internet access, internet fails when attempting to use a website that needs flash, but works fine when not using it. Anyone got any ideas on a work around?

Try this...
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab. Click: Delete All
Relaunch Safari.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select: Clear History (also empties the cache)
Deselect the remaining boxes then click Reset.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a Flash based video.

STILL no real answer to problems with QuickTime and Flash Player

The reply to Problems with QuickTime really didn't answer or solve the basic problem. Some sites to work at all require you to have working Flash Player 8 so when I try to use these sites I get the QuickTime logo with a question mark and then nothing. For all you experts on Apple and Mac; what is going on? Apple is the parent of QuickTime and I assume they want their customers happy with their work. So why is it so hard for these apparently small updates to their programs causing entire sites being blocked off? I have OS x 10.3.9 on a G4 iMac 855mHrz .... It seems that even though we, the customer by default become Apples program testers;the actual programers are never given the go ahead to actualy look at these problem posts. Has anyone ever gotten a solution for a problem they posted here from one of the programmers of the product? It would be nice to know we aren't left to our own devices when it comes to program gliches from the source. If the powers that be in apple are watching and willing to help; any time now is a good time to just but in on the conversation and help solve some of the problems us little people keep on running into.--------------
While online I run into sites that will NOT work without Flash Player 8 (which costs over $150.00) which is told to the viewer with a QuickTime logo with a question mark in it.
This leads the web surfer to try to upgrade or at least investigate Flash Player in their computer and it's version.When said web surfer looks at Flash player upgrade for bucks and the fact that in some way it is tied to QuickTime, web surfer gets real curious. Do the web masters for those sites know that their site is now blocked off? If any major portion ( say 30 or 40 % ) of the web surfing crowd is required to purchase an upgrade to Flash Player even though it doesn't look like Apple is the parent of said Flash Player; those web masters are going to be upset with Apple. Their income is tied to actuall access and browsing of a site, even if it is only to actually just get the Home page. With no access to the site due to no Flash Player 8, the web master is going to find those all important Hits going down to nil. -------
This post is way to broad for any one answer so I don't really expect one. But for you people who have run into similar problems with other programs and sites; I would love to hear if you got any help from other web surfers or from the parent people of those programs and/or sites. I know that my isp earthlink has helped out with problems faster than other groups involved. Anyway.. Any help or comment on this post ( or gripe if you prefer ) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry, but you are completely misinformed. Flash Player 8 doesn't cost one red cent; it's only the Flash creation package that you have to pay for. You can download the free Flash Player 8 here.
QuickTime can natively handle some Flash content, which is why with the lack of the Flash player the browser defaults to the QT plugin. But Flash 8 is a relatively new format from Macromedia and I'm not sure QT supports it yet. Install the Flash 8 player and things should work just fine.
And just FYI, for questions about the Mac version of QuickTime, you'll be better off asking them in the QuickTime for Mac forum.

I was wondering if you have fixed the compatibility issues with java and flash players in the new patch

after update 6.0.0 all java scripts and flash players where incompatible and disabled i tried re-down loading new versions and tried to erase Firefox and all ad-dons and reload them and still had issues with them i had to re-download Firefox 5 to continue to use your program and i wanna make sure that in 6.0.2 i will not have to do the same thing.. it is a head ache and inconvenient

You're welcome.
The only workarounds to this problem is going back to Safari 4,
You can revert to 4.0.5, instructions here.

Issues with the new flash player upgrade

I work for a magazine where I have interactive slideshows for
image based content. With the upgrade of the new flash player all
the getURL flash buttons are inert. All the buttons are doing are
going to the next page in the slideshow. How do I get them to work
with the new player. I understand I may need an "AllowAccess"
parameter to make it work but not sure where it goes. Here's one of
the files in question:
http://spectrum.ieee.org/apr08/6157/
The script is real basic to make it somewhat error proof
on (release) {
getURL("
http://spectrum.ieee.org/apr08/6157/10");
Any help would be appriciated

At work, symantec endpoint. At home, norton. Ever since firefox 15, no flash version works except for 11.2. Now that ff18 was pushed out, it "forces" the upgrade to 11.5, and absolutely will not accept anything less. But as with any version of flash that was not 11.2, it just causes firefox to freeze up completely.

Problems with IE9 and Flash Player when Offline

I can't get embeded flash to work in IE9 with Windows 7 when offline (works fine online) but it works fine with Google Chrome. I am saving the webpage with embeded flash as html.

I was having the same problem using Internet Explorer—this is how I solved it. This worked for me—it may not work for you.
First go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and install Adobe Flash Player for your computer.
Click to open Internet Explorer.
Click the Tools button , and then click Manage add-ons.
Under Add-on Types, click Toolbars and Extensions.
Under Show, To display a complete list of the add-ons on your computer, click “All add-ons” on the left bottom under “Show”.

Experiences with skype and Flash Player 9 ?

Hello World,
I found arch a couple of days ago, and will install soon.
I wonder whether any of you are running current versions of (a) skype and (b) the flashplayer 9 plugin for Firefox. Both are subject to well-known but mysterious problems, apparently striking at random, and unfortunately both affect my current Slackware system.
The skype issue is that only root can connect :
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=599b … 57736&st=0
The Flash issue is that the new plugin regularly crashes some browsers, see various posts on :
http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/
It would be nice to know that arch users have not encountered these annoyances.
In case anyone is interested in the background of new users, I have been full time on linux for about 8 years. I began with SuSE (it was cheaper than RedHat and there was an excellent printed manual). I moved to Linux From Scratch (wonderful, but I could not face another installation session). Then to Slackware (where I have been very happy, but I am open to the idea of a change). I tend to keep distros for a long time, manually updating as I go. I have run vanilla kernels since the 2.4 development began and (purely out of interest), I compile most of my own libraries and applications.

Many thanks to both sessy and ise. The two bugs I mention really are a pain - especially the Flash 9 one. The developers can't reproduce it on their Gentoo boxes - ise does not have it - yet many people seem to suffer. I am beginning to wonder if it is a hardware thing ... maybe Flash 9 is very demanding. This box is 2 x 1gz PIII smp - which is becoming rather old now.

Clipboard issue with Word and Flash CS4 in Snow Leopard

I use Flash CS4/word 2008 on a regular basis and copy text from word into flash. Since I upgraded to SL, I no longer can paste text into Flash. This is a major productivity killer for me. Are there any global clipboard settings?

That indicates corruption or a conflict within the old account, usually with preference (plist) files. Make a list of the preference files inside the /new user/Library/Preferences/ folder, log back into the old account, move the ones on your list to a folder on the desktop, log out and back in, and see if the behavior is fixed. If so, create another folder on the Desktop, copy the new ones to that folder, and slowly replace a few new ones in /old user/Library/Preferences/ with the same ones first moved, until you find which ones were causing the problem. Delete those and replace with their copies. The process is slow, but required.
Alternatively, you could log into the new one, delete the old one, *electing to save its data (creates a disk image in /Users/Deleted Users/)*, recreate the account, using the same username/password combo, log into it, mount the saved data image, and slowly transfer plist files from it to the recreated one, frequently logging out and back in until you find the bad files.
Good luck.
