[opensuse] Sound from browsers stuck in a loop
Hi all, I'm using OpenSuse 10.1 and the sound system is set up correctly (Alsa & SoundBlaster Live 5.1 card) cause everything plays alright. Quite often I've got this annoying problem with playing clips from the internet be it from Konqueror or Firefox. What happens is that the clip (audio or video) plays and then for no apparent reason about 1 second of the clip gets stuck in a loop and is repeated ad infinitum. The remedy is to kill the nspluginviewer when using Konqueror or to leave the site with Firefox. So you're never sure you can hear the clip in its entirety or not which is damn irritating. Let alone giving a demo about Linux and then having this thing happening. Has anyone witnessed this and better nows what's wrong? Thx, Guy. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Are you using the v9 beta of Shockwave Flash plugin for Firefox? This beta does this and I had to revert back to the released version (7) to get back my sanity.

Hi Basil, You hit the nail on the head! My version is exactly : Shockwave Flash 9.0 d55. I suppose Shockwave is aware of this? Thx for making my Chistmass a little merrier!

I have absolutely no idea. I didn't tell them but I can't be the only one who experienced this problem so someone must have told them. As you may be aware, the beta gets rid of the problem with the audio and video being out of sync in v7. Well, v9 beta fixed that but created the "loop" effect. As I hardly ever watch videos online the out-of-sync problem doesn't worry me that much.
Thx for making my Chistmass a little merrier! Merry Christmass, Guy.
And the same to you! :-) Cheers. -- In a period of great joy and pleasure you are comforted by the thought that tragedy is just around the corner. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

One final addition : I went over to http://www.adobe.com/go/fp9_update_b2_installer_linuxplugin and saw they had a more recent version than mine available, nmly Shockwave Flash 9.0 d78 or 9.0.21.78 to be more precise. I've tried it and it seems to have solved the problem. So you can give it another try and fill in their bugform when you stumble upon one. There are sites like http://www.motogp.com where you won't get far with version 7 (pages cut).

Many thanks for this. I've just downloaded this new version and will see how it behaves.

Nope, this beta version is as useless as its predecessor: the video goes into "loop" mode at least once during play but at least now it actually breaks out of the loop after a few seconds instead of "looping" ad finitum. Have gone back to v7.

No, I didn't Darryl. I went to their site to do so but considered that providing all the "personal" details would take more time than actually telling them what wasn't working with the beta so I took my ball and bat and went home.

You're no fun :-) If you make an account, you also get to vote for bugs.

So, they keep the most popular ones? ;-) BTW, are you any relation to Joey? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Remotely (as I am to anyone in North America with this surname :-) ). Why, does he run SuSE too? :-) -- The best way to accelerate a computer running Windows is at 9.81 m/s² -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Whoa, there, Darryl :-) . This thread concerns the problem with the Adobe Flash Player v9 beta and has nothing to do with Novella.
