 |

Hi,
I have the following problem (screenshot of youtube video, no other parts of the screen):

But only with all youtube videos in Firefox. It worked before (but I don't know when it stopped working). Opera plays them fine. It's not a problem with the profile.
Does anyone have the same problem or any idea what's wrong?

| Ok, happens in opera too. But not with all videos. Some work in Opera that do not in Firefox. |

| Are you using the proprietary flash for watching videos? If so did you build it with -vdpau or disabling hardware acceleration? |

| Yes. Recompiling with -vdpau did not help. How can I turn off hw accel? I did not see anything in flash settings. |

While a video is loaded you can right click the video and there should be a checkbox to disable it. Or you can create a file at "/etc/adobe/mms.cfg" and put your options there ((EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=0)may be =1 I don't remember). That is where I would start though. May also be an issue with your graphics drivers (I wouldn't rule it out). |

Tried with that option and set it to 0, didn't change anything. Changing it to 1 crashes the plugin.
I guess it's the r600g driver then, I updated that recently. Or maybe mesa.
Thanks for your help. |
