=========== Isn't Flash at version 9.x now? Actually 9.0.31 is the latest. You might want to update yours to fix that problem. One of the SuSE mirrors should have the new version for you. bye -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Very good advice, but if your 10.2 system is like mine firefox 2.0.0.4 is broken when installed from suse repositories. When I upgraded to 2.0.0.4, all history and saved session were unreadable and blank, so I downgraded to 2.0.0.2 and everything was fine again. That is, I went up two versions and came back down one to restore things.

I never heard such a report that 2.0.0.4 should be broken. I'm using it on 10.2 and it simply works. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you mean sound in Flash it has nothing to do with Firefox, because Flash does all the sound stuff on its own w/o interacting with Firefox. I guess that your Flash sound output is blocked by any other access to your sound device.

Quit Amarok. There was an issue I recall from versions 9.1 - 9.3 where FF would not play sounds if Amarok was even open in the system tray. IIRC, this was fixed in 10.0 and definately isn't an issue in 10.2, where I can watch a video in YouTube and play music in Amarok.

HTH!
Just to add to this, Kai, if I may: install VideoDownloader, which is an Extention for Firefox, and when on YouTube, for example, select the video to play then as it starts to download to your system PAUSE the transfer/play; run VideoDownloader and it will download the video file to your selected directory as a file called "get_video"; RENAME this file to whatever you want BUT make sure that you give it an extension of ".flv". AMAROK will quite happily play this *.flv file as AUDIO only - no video (but who really cares?). (There is a Windows conversion app. for VideoDownloader to convert the *.flv files to have them replay as videos - Linux misses out :-( .) [BTW, this is working for me with SuSE 10.2 and the latest FF (2.0.0.4) and RealPlayer 9.] Cheers. -- Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hey! That is great! :-) Many thanks for this information. The audio PLUS video now available (but I have to say that in most cases one is better off without the video!).

Current Flash version is 9.0.31 so I think that would be the first place to start. -- kai -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
