[opensuse] Re: Video clips on a specific site -- Firefox vs Opera

I did try to install from Adobe, as I said, and it made no improvement.
be aware that there are several places where a plugin can be set. One have to scan all of them and kep only one, not trivial. *[firefox]/plugin (the one I use) *~/mozilla...(sometime) */usr/lib/browser-plugin and someties more (I use locate to find them)
I do not believe the problem is with Flash itself, because Flash works perfectly on any number of other sites, but not on this one.
but it works for me!

I have found the following, using find: /usr/lib/opera/pluging/libflashplayer.so (5Nov09) /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so (7Jul09) /usr/lib/flashplugin/libflashplayer.so (7Jul09) I assume that the first one is the exclusive property of Opera, and that I am not to delete it, while the others serve both FF and Konqueror, and are to be deleted; is that correct?

It works for me too, on many other websites, e.g. CNN.COM. Interestingly, however, it did not work on the CNN site until about two weeks ago, when that site underwent a major revision. That must show that, if Flash is the only determinant, there are different ways for a site to employ Flash, and these have an effect on Flash behavior displayed on my screen. If this logic is faulty, please suggest an alternative explanation for the observed behavior.
* remove *all* flash plugin and verify firefox don't find it anymore (about:plugins) * dl the last from adobe, in tgz (not rpm) * install in firefox/plugins
Then installation will consist of extracting the content of the tgz file and copying libflashplayer.so to e.g. the <firefox>/plugin directory.

Or make a symlink to the first one. Or the other way round, perhaps, with the correct version. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

The libflashplayer entry in the Opera directory (see above) turns out to be a symlink to the copy in the flash-plugin directory, so I chose to regard that directory as the place for this plugin, and to leave directory /usr/lib/opera/plugins untouched, exactly as it was. I renamed the copies of the plugin in both /usr/lib/browser-plugins and /usr/lib/flash-plugin, and copied the new libflashplayer.so (unpacked from the tarball I got from Adobe) in the latter. The result is that Opera displays flash clips from the website of jpost.com and also from CNN (as it did before); both konqueror (which displayed both previously) nor Firefox (which displayed CNN previously) show only blank screens. Is it possible that Firefox and Konqueror need me to reinstall the wrapper, while Opera doesn't need this? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
