[00:00] <jea> I think that won't work properly, due to flash not being supported on Linux except in Chrome
[00:01] <tttttttttt> it works ok if i dont install the plugin 
[00:01] <tttttttttt> if i install the plugin the video is distorted
[00:02] <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
[00:03] <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
[00:05] <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
[00:06] <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
[00:07] <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)
[00:08] <tttttttttt> i will give chrome a try but i see google as spy net and try to avoid 
[00:09] <jea> yes, i can understand
[00:09] <tttttttttt> ok i will look into getting older plugin thanks
[00:32] <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
[00:34] <jea> you are using the latest version of chrome, not chromium?
[00:34] <tttttttttt> chromium from synaptic
[00:34] <jea> right
[00:35] <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
[00:37] <tttttttttt> so i uninstall chromium and get chrome from google ?
[00:39] <jea> yes
[00:48] <tttttttttt>  ok will try  ..be interesting to see what happens.. i just tried chromium codecs extra package made no difference . 
[00:49] <jea> yeah, i doubt that would change anything unfortunately
[01:02] <tttttttttt> thanks jea...chrome flash works.. will also look into getting older plugin for firefox.  in the meantime will use chrome for flash sites 
[01:03] <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
[01:04] <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
[01:05] <jea> Chrome will use the latest, currently 13
[01:08] <tttttttttt> youre right i'll stay with chrome thanks again
[01:09] <jea> no worries. glad it got sorted out
[01:38] <tttttttttt> cya
[01:38] <jea> bye
