Flash Player 9 for Linux (BETA)
Hello guys, I thought you might want to know that flash player 9 (beta) is out: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html I'm running SUSE 10.0 and Firefox 1.5.0.7. So far, so good! My main concern with version 7 was the A/V sync problems. I just spent about an hour on YouTube and I can tell you that sound is in sync now! I also got the stand-alone player but I'm unable to play any flash videos from my HD (mostly flash videos that I got from keepvid.com). I think it may be a GTK issue...If anyone can make it work on SUSE 10.0 (with stock GTK) do let me know please. Cheers! Jorge

Many thanks for the heads-up! I just downloaded it, copied over to my /usr/lib/browser-plugins folder and restarted Firefox. All is well. I checked out YouTube and a few sites which were written in Flash 8.5 that I could't access before. Everything seems to be functional. The speed is nice, too. I have one acquaintence who has his whole site on Flash and it requires a lot of sound/video syncing. It works just great. Now if I can only get those pesky ActiveX controls to work.... -- Kai Ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request

I also confirm. It's a lot faster with animations too. Thanks for letting us know...

I installed the flash player 9 beta on my Suse 10.0 system (with all latest updates), and it works with Firefox-1.5.0.7-1.3. The standalone player doesn't work here either. It just sits there when I open a flash file and doesn't do anything. Playback of motion-intensive clips under Firefox leaves much to be desired, though. The video is very choppy and lots of frames are dropped. The audio often drops out too, and will only return if I close and reopen all instances of windows/tabs that are running the flash plugin. This is on a 2.8GHz Celeron machine with 1GB memory, running the motherboard-embedded Intel i845 video w/ 8MB video memory (i810 driver). Vmstat shows little paging activity so it shouldn't be bottlenecked on that. I didn't yet try with another browser to see if it makes any difference. Are there kernel parameters or Xorg tunables that I could tweak to improve on this? I tried changing the vm.swappiness kernel parameter but it doesn't seem to have a consistent and predictable effect. The same clips play smoothly under WinXP... -Ti

Could you please provide a link to one of those motion-intensive clips so I can test it here? I'll let you know how it goes here.

Well...I think you have plenty of power there. It shouldn't be a hardware limitation issue definetely. Jorge

It works perfectly for me in Firefox and Konqueror ( With opera doesn't even work ). SuSE10.1, Firefox 1.5.0.7, Konqueror 3.5.5.
Btw, this is a VERY cool promo video.
indeed. I'd like to buy one of those...

-Ti konqui brought up the "you need fp-8 and higher" for me. FF chocked on the first effort, but when i tried it again it went thru the full drive very nicely! maybe my cable connection was less than 4mb/sec at the time. ff 1.5.0.7, konq 3.5.5, suse10.1 x86-64.

It plays fine here, very smooth. I'm using P4 (3.0 Ghz) and an AGP nVidia card.

Ahhhhh yes, it is! I think it is the best I've seen (with flash). Coincidently, I was testing the new flash plugin with this site: http://www.chevrolet.com/silverado/launch/ which happens to be very nice too (the pickup transformation.)

Works correctly with Konqueror 3.5.5-19.1 on openSUSE 10.1. Didn't work with Firefox 1.5.0.7-1.5. My Firefox is using Java 1.4.2_11-b06 plugin. Which version of Java plugin do you have? Stan

It works here on both Konqueror and Mozilla. It doesn't work in Opera. I didn't remove the old libflashplayer.so file under /usr/lib/mozilla-plugins. I renamed it libflashplayer7.so. I then copied the new file and it seems to work. I can now see flash 9 only sites. alfredo

Hans I have no problems with gigabyte / intel. But I can't play videos from cnn, abc, fox. Of course that should be / could be considered a plus, but that's another story:) Also it could be mplayer that is the culprit. Adobe tells me i have version 9.0.21.55, that's even more up to date than their "stable" windoze versions!!!! d.

I suspect it may be java that is the culprit. I can play fox videos from Konq but not FF. That says that mplayer or whatever is working fine.

Yeah, I believe it is part of the document model issue. IIRC, the javascript isn't setting the z-order of the menu, so our versions of FF is simply putting it behind the flash.

There is this site which checks the coding of the web pages of any URL and displays the number of errors as well what they are and where they are so that the errors can be fixed quickly. The site is: http://validator.w3.org My ISP had 13 errors in the code. I told them about it. They fixed the errors within 3 days. I congratulated them :-) . The thanked me.
