Nope, windoze latest is 9, same as mac and linux. More likely it's a brain dead website coder who is checking to make sure you're running ms windoze and msie like a good little sheep, before sending you the video content.

Joe BUT, shouldn't the linux version handle said "braindead webside coder" the same way the windoze version does? Can we do with a bit less of a superiority nonsense and a bit more of "can do" coding? Video over the net is just about impossible in a standard 10.2, far worse in the 64 bit 10.2 and it only gets marginally better if one goes to packman. The 32/64 bit issues with firefox, konqueror and plugins, compounded by the limitations of "linux" realplayer, mplayer, flashplayer etc make it imperative that one should keep a doze version handy, if one is keen on watching on line video... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't give a tinker's d*mn about on-line video, myself, but since you mention QuickTime specifically... Why does Totem have such a problem with accurate playback of .MOV files? It seems to be independent of codec... it'll play them, but the colors are all shifted weirdly. Mplayer, of course, plays the same file accurately. We won't talk about the disaster that is Xine... it's bad enough that Totem uses its libraries, but I'll be d*mnned if I'm ever going to use that disaster of a UI the Xine devs think is so cool.

Good question - But I'm probably not the person to ask about totem, since I use kaffeine or mplayer for all my dvd or video file watching, amarok for music, and the mplayer plugin handles the bulk of the multimedia browser content.

Hi Francesco, Close all instances of Firefox, look under ~/.mozilla for a file named "pluginreg.dat" and delete it. Previous installations may have 'planted' more copies of pluginreg.dat in other/lower subdirectories, so be sure to delete any that you can find. When you next launch Firefox, it will re-register all the plug-ins it can find and, hopefully, will pick up the updated Flash Player. hth & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thank /you/ for following up! One point, however... SUSE's 'standard' location is /usr/lib/browser-plugins/. When I update Flash Player on this system, to maintain consistency for future SUSE-released updates, I'll probably move things around a bit and symlink, accordingly. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi James, I was going to explain this to Francesco, but he'd already installed and 'tweaked' it to make it work. I've actually been waiting for an 'official' or appropriately packaged 'third party' update. ;-) regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

At the moment few 64 bit plugins are available. That's why I have a 32 bit version of Firefox on my system, while just about everything else is 64 bit. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

IIRC, the 32 bit version was installed by default. If not, it's easy enough to change. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I tried first to switch by selecting the i586 version of MozillaFirefox in Yast and asking Yast to "update", but Yast just reinstalled the x86_64 version. I had to uninstall ignoring all dependencies and reinstall selecting the i586 version in order to change. I also had to switch mozilla-nss. Now Firefox uses the FlashPlayer 9 plugin.

Hi Francesco, After you shut down Firefox, try deleting the file "pluginreg.dat", usually created under ~/.mozilla/firefox. This will cause it to re-register all the installed plug-ins the next time it is launched. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
