| jea | I think that won't work properly, due to flash not being supported on Linux except in Chrome | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| tttttttttt | it works ok if i dont install the plugin | 00:01 |
| tttttttttt | if i install the plugin the video is distorted | 00:01 |
| jea | maybe without the plugin the sites are serving video using HTML5 objects | 00:02 |
| tttttttttt | @ youtube | 00:02 |
| meetingology | tttttttttt: Error: "youtube" is not a valid command. | 00:02 |
| jea | which is the preferred way now, and should be smoother | 00:02 |
| jea | yes, youtube definitely can do HTML5 video | 00:02 |
| tttttttttt | ok so maybe its not flash that i am viewing | 00:03 |
| jea | try right clicking on a video without flash install | 00:03 |
| jea | *installed | 00:03 |
| jea | if it says flash, then it is using it. if not, then HTML5 video | 00:03 |
| tttttttttt | youre right its html5 | 00:05 |
| jea | good | 00:05 |
| jea | i would keep flash removed | 00:05 |
| jea | and only use it in chrome | 00:05 |
| tttttttttt | but i need flash for another site i use | 00:06 |
| jea | chrome flash uses the Pepper API | 00:06 |
| jea | and is kept up to date, meaning you get latest features and security patches | 00:06 |
| jea | I realise that Chrome is not as open as Firefox, but I prefer the security of flash being updated over a old version of flash | 00:07 |
| tttttttttt | so there is no way to get flash to run in firefox? | 00:07 |
| jea | only the old version, something like 11.2 | 00:07 |
| jea | (i haven't looked at the version number for a while) | 00:07 |
| tttttttttt | i will give chrome a try but i see google as spy net and try to avoid | 00:08 |
| jea | yes, i can understand | 00:09 |
| tttttttttt | ok i will look into getting older plugin thanks | 00:09 |
| tttttttttt | jea are u still here ...just installed chrome ..same thing happening.. flash is distorted same as firefox.. must be something to do with codecs | 00:32 |
| jea | you are using the latest version of chrome, not chromium? | 00:34 |
| tttttttttt | chromium from synaptic | 00:34 |
| jea | right | 00:34 |
| jea | chromium does not include the latest flash | 00:35 |
| tttttttttt | maybe i need to reboot ? | 00:35 |
| jea | only chrome straight from google includes the flash plugin | 00:35 |
| jea | nope, i don't think rebooting will change anything | 00:35 |
| tttttttttt | so i uninstall chromium and get chrome from google ? | 00:37 |
| jea | yes | 00:39 |
| tttttttttt | ok will try ..be interesting to see what happens.. i just tried chromium codecs extra package made no difference . | 00:48 |
| jea | yeah, i doubt that would change anything unfortunately | 00:49 |
| tttttttttt | thanks jea...chrome flash works.. will also look into getting older plugin for firefox. in the meantime will use chrome for flash sites | 01:02 |
| jea | i suspect you had the older plugin for firefox, which didn't work | 01:03 |
| jea | i personally would just leave flash out of firefox, due to the security issues | 01:03 |
| tttttttttt | no i have the latest | 01:04 |
| jea | chrome will keep its own flash updated all the time, so it will be more secure | 01:04 |
| jea | http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html | 01:04 |
| jea | As that says, Linux (firefox and chromium) only support up to 11.2 | 01:04 |
| jea | Chrome will use the latest, currently 13 | 01:05 |
| tttttttttt | youre right i'll stay with chrome thanks again | 01:08 |
| jea | no worries. glad it got sorted out | 01:09 |
| tttttttttt | cya | 01:38 |
| jea | bye | 01:38 |
