Why no streaming video from any website while running Ubuntu 11?

I am running Ubuntu 11.o4 on an AMD 64x2 System with 1TB of memory. I have tried several movie players but cannot get streaming video on ANY website. Any suggestions for a fix? It also seems to be the case with other browsers as well as FireFox (I have several on my system).

It sounds like you have flash installed.
Anyways, are you trying to play the videos in browser or in an external player? Because the Mplayer and VLC plugins wont play flash video in browser even though they can play .flv files and while Totem/Xine/Movie Player can play Youtube clips directly, it can't do it at the moment due to Google playing with their servers to keep non browsers from accessing the site. It happens every few weeks-months, have to get an updated version of Totem to play it.
Now as for Flash, Adobe's is the only official version, and the only one that's reliable for playback, but as we all know it's terribly slow, insecure and crash happy.. You can try Gnash or Lightspark as they are reverse engineered OSS Flash plugins.
Alternatively you can try the Youtube the HTML5 beta https://www.youtube.com/html5
And add marinos35's Youtube WebM search plugin http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=Youtube+WebM
Been Flash free for a while now, can't say I miss it.
You mean 1Gb of ram or 1Tb of HDD? 1Tb of ram would cost a fortune and not be compatible with any Athlon64 X2 mobo, a quad socket Opteron board maybe...

I recently installed Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin, and now can't play any videos from any website in Mozilla, but Google Chrome works.

Cannot play any video from any website in Mozilla after installing Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin. However, I can play videos from Google Chrome and also from Internet Explorer. For example, when I'm trying to play a you tube video in Mozilla, a black screen comes up with following error message: "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
(This is like the Wizard of Oz -- when the man comes to the little window in the door and says to Dorothy, "Come back tomorrow." )

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

Why do some videos from some website stop working after seconds or minutes on a new iPad

I subscribe to some website posting videos. The videos will start as it should and then stop after, sometimes seconds, and sometimes minutes after the beginning.
The iPad is less than 3 weeks old. it is already the second. The first was a 16 GB this one is a 32 GB. no difference. This issue does not happen with only one website but other posted videos from other websites.

This and other answers helped me to understand better why I cannot view these videos and search for answers. I found that the videos posted by this website end in .cfm, and doing research cfm is Adobe and is not compatible with apple software ? why this is not resolved is surprising to me - Several other people experience the same issue as I (dating 2007-to 2013) I am not computer literate but I know how to find information on the web and know +or - how to use the programs. There seems to be nothing that will convert these videos into a format that the iPad could process and allow. should I buy quicktime for my windows device and transfer/sync it to the ipad (?)(3 weeks old I paid $900) will this work. I have tried to upgrade the firmware to my router but no luck there either; even following all the steps religiously. the unzip is not working? I get a file the upgrade button rejects.
if it is this cfm format that is doing that, then there is no reason to spend x$ into a new router : the issue will remain the same- is this statement correct ?
your help is greatly appreciated.

Could you please take a breath and cool down?!
You are posting to a user to user forum and we'd be more than happy to see if we can help you with this but it would be beneficial if you could try and tone it down a bit. Also writing all caps is considered shouting and rude, try and not do that..
YouTube works fine for me here, so do most other that do not rely on Flash (which is not supported on any modern day platform and is actaully a discontinued format no longer being developed actually).
I'm not really having any of these issues here. Let be sure here, you are saying this does not work at all for you on either mobile data or WiFi? what is the OS version on the phone and what is the phone product number? Get Lumia Software Recovery Tool (google it) and check.. Maybe try and refurbish the phone through that tool and re-install.
What you describe certainly is not a generic OS issue so the problem must be with something else. Please provide _exact_ URL links to videos you can't view so we can at least check the specific videos..

When ever i try to view a streaming video from a website I now get two of the same stacked on each other in same panel where one video should be view, what is wrong?

When ever I am trying to view streaming video from websites, such as CNN or ESPN or You Tube, I now see the same video stacked twice in the panel where it used to only show by itself. I think it happened after the last updates to Firefox and Flash Player, but not sure what was changed to create that effect?
== URL of affected sites ==
http://

First of all, Firefox support SUCKS! I am looking onto Opera or Chrome.
Here is my solution. I have WinXP 64 bit with a Nvidia card. I had the same issue and all I had to do is update the video drivers and it fixed the problem. Try this out.

Wireless mouse will not work at the top of the page on ANY website while running Firefox 7.0.1

I am currently running Firefox 7.0.1 and have not had many problems until today. I have noticed that my wireless mouse will not work at the top of any website. This means I cannot log into many sites. I have also noticed that during page downloads, I have to move the mouse in order for the page to load or it just pauses. Any help would be appreciated!

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I have given up on Mozilla to solve my problem which is I can not view videos from any website. I have lost my patience with so called fixes that do not work .

Can't view photos or stream videos from websites on iPad 3

When I go to a website with safari, I can't stream video or view photo galleries. It tells me that I need adobo flash player. That is not supported for this device. How do I see photoographs or stream video from websites??

Jenpre.... keep your head down in that hurricane, and good luck. I hope it moves away soon for you all.
When I say "more modern", from what I've read many sites recognise that Flash can be a problem on mobile devices (phones and tablets) because it's very power hungry. So, if I understand things correctly, many sites are putting up html5 versions, which is supposed to be much easier on computers / devices. Quite oftne when I go to a site on my iPad it auto-diverts to the "mobile" version of the site, and I haven't found a single case where I can't see a video. To be truthful, even if not directed to a mobile version, I don't have much trouble with any of the sites I visit..... I can see most videos and pretty much all graphics, the same as I can on my Mac, which does run Flash.
Still, I'm sure a computing expert will know much more.
Good luck in that hurricane....
PS... there are quite a few good hurricane tracking Apps you know....

AirPlay to stream videos from websites

I have an iPhone 4 that I just recently upgrade the iOS to 4.3 and I also have atv2 that it upgraded as well. I'm trying to stream some videos from a website and it only let's me stream the audio but ther is no picture on the tv. I thought with the new update of the iOS 4.3. Apple said that it was able to stream videos from websites and third party apps. Does any one know how this suppose to work?

The website must be AirPlay compatible to get both video and sound. YouTube should be. The same applies to 3rd party apps. A 3rd party app must be updated by the app developer to be AirPlay compatible.

HT201068 why all videos from Chinese websites cannot be opened after the update??

why all videos from Chinese websites cannot be opened after the Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1??

That's not a thing that can happen. Your problem with videos is unrelated to the Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1.
There were several OS updates recently as well, which could have affected video playback though.
What application do you use to play the videos?
Are the videos streaming from the internet or are they downloaded first and then played?
what format are the videos? what file extension?

How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop? I want to be able to stream a video to my tv while browsing the internet or working on writing on my laptop. Thanks

You would have to use airplay within iTunes then, unless you want to use 3rd party software (ie Beamer)

Can anyone explain why streaming video from BBC's iPlayer is becomes jerky on my Air?

I'm using my MacBook Air to watch streamed video from the BBC iPlayer and the picture becomes jerky after a couple of minutes, only clearing when I close the lid and let the system power down. However it soon becomes jerky again after restarting.
The spec of the machine is 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 with 2GB RAM and about 20GB's free harddrive memory.
Adobe Air app installer also appears to keep attempting to boot.
This is pretty annoying, when during a 30minute programme I have to close the lid every 5-10 mins to make the programme watchable.
Any info would be greatly appreciated, a solution would be fantastic!
Thanks,
JJ

I'm not certan how to tell whether or not it is jailbroken but it's only when I use a specific charger and it's been fine ever since I threw that stupid thing away, No problems with the phone other then simple things I can handle. lol I seriously hope that madness never happens to anyone else!!!!

When I select print from any website article while in Firefox it only prints a blank page. When I open same web pages using Safari, they print fine. Documents in other appliations print fine. Only Firefox documents print blank page.

Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
