General :: Opera - Mplayer Instead Of Flash Any Distro / Browser
Apr 18, 2010
The thing is that flash sucks for linux on 64-bit, performance vice. Due to this I actually download every clip to a temp folder and play the file while it's being downloaded with mplayer. This works really nice. Flash is not to play a video. Does there exist a plugin for this for any browser? I tried google, but I can't find the right words to search for. Edit: I did find a plugin for playing wmp things, that is not what I'm asking for!
i'm trying to install adobe flash player so i can view ..... videos in opera browser. without going into detail i have tried every possible way from all various instructions, even in the initial install it is suppose to install the flash player plugin from the software centre
This problem one day popped out of nowhere in my ubuntu 9.04 firefox browser that I could not submit my reply on any forums. So I changed my browser to epiphany and then to opera but all failed then I installed arora and it worked. I don't know what is the problem with other browsers I just cannot submit a reply on any forums.
I really want to make the switch from Firefox to Opera as it is so much faster and more stable. But am having real trouble getting mplayer to work. I was wondering if anyone who has successfully managed to get mplayer plugin working in the Opera web browser. Iv been trying for a couple of days now and its getting repetitive. Iv tried following the instructions here: [URL] I think im having trouble with Gecko SDK, havnt been able to find a package thats ppc compatible (am running Karmic on an iBook G4). Though i found an RPM package that was and converted it with Alien, not sure if it actually worked though.
I have XULrunner 1.9.1 and mplayer installed. Im falling down on this step of the above linked tutorial: "Type ./configure --enable-x [--with-gecko-sdk={path}] where {path} is the path to the Gecko SDK" But have tried just running "./configure" and "make" from within the directory, without, of course, the desired effect. Also im not sure when it says "Locate the files mplayerplug-in*.{so,xpt}" what or where "mplayerplug-in*.{so,xpt}" is supposed to be.
I've always used the repos at [URL] to get Opera both on Lenny and Squeeze. So my sources.list has this line: deb [URL] lenny non-free
But now I see these has not been updated since november 2009. Is there a newer repo somewhere? I know you can download opera from the opera website - but that is too much work when you have many computers to manage.
I have another opera browser problem,i upgraded to version 10.53 build 6330 last week. it keeps crashing the cpu goes to 100% and wont come down, i had this problem with the previous version but its a lot worse with the new version. also noticed that when browsing ebay the scroll is very jerky until you get about a third of the way down the page then it scrolls ok again. i get the feeling the crashes are something to do with the flash player. i tried to uninstall flash but i cannot get it to uninstall .
I am going to try Opera for 64-bit first since it is currently my favorite browser.Will this be the beginning of the end of all those flash related questions and problems?
Today I added more fonts to ~/.fonts directory. I launched Opera and the fonts are gone funny [image attached]. I don't have this problem in Firefox of Google Chrome/Chromium. I changed fonts in Opera >> Preferences but to no avail. Also I deleted .opera directory. No joy. The only solution I've found is to delete .fonts directory (but I want those fonts for other applications).
The version is 11.01 & the build is 1190. I've filled some fields at the Forms tab > Preferences > Settings > Menu. Attached to this post is an image of those fields. I can't press Ctrl+Enter to activate the wand, I don't know if there's another method. Forms tab > Preferences > Settings > Menu
When I tried to log in this morning I couldn't until I enabled Java scripts in my Opera browser. This must be something "new and improved". Could someone confirm this? I would prefer "old and lousy" rather than open up my computer to the world at large.
1. My Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala always going slow when i Open OPERA Browser. Is it Normal? 2. Sometimes i got my Karmic Animation like a... i dont know, just play it slower than usual. Is it Normal?
I was using Compiz Animation. [minimize, maximize, close, etc] Is that thing make my Karmic running slow?
Did anybody tried installing the latest adobe flash named Square for amd64 systems? I was interested in knowing whether there is any improvement in the performance. I also want to know how to replace my existing 32 bit wrapper based flash on 64 bit browser and install this 64 bit flash.
I am using Android 2.1 froyo. I also installed adobe flash player 10.2 from the Android Market place. The default web browser on the tablet seems to crash when I it encounters flash that is multimedia like audio and video. It's funny how flash works great with linux distributions and not well in android. Does anyone know which version of android and/or web browser works best with flash so the crashes are minimal.
what to do to get flash player to work in opera 11 even though flash player works in firefox and at the macromedia website shows that player has been installed? But when I go to other sites that requires flash player, it tells me to get flash player.
I was trying to install the flash-plugin rpm so that flash contents can be viewed from web pages. So I downloaded the following rpm from rpm.pbone.net: flash-plugin-9.0.48.0-1. el3.rf.i386.rpm This is the command I used to install it: [root@station3 developer]# rpm -ivh flash-plugin-9.0.115.0-1.rf.svn6036.src.rpm warning: flash-plugin-9.0.115.0-1.rf.svn6036.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: N OKEY, key ID 1aa78495 1:flash-plugin [100%]
Now when I am viewing a web page I cannot see the flash contents. When I am running rpm -qa flash* to search if flash is installed or not, its giving the following error: error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 101 Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 4f2a6fd2 I tried removing the package and install it again, removing and installing with --replacepkgs option and I also tried to install it without removing which said that it is already installed.
I am using Fedora 14 right now and i can't figure out how to put in adobe flash player into the plugin repositories of the browser.
Does anyone know how to get it working so I can view ..... videos and or any other media file? Maybe step by step from the start? I downloaded adobe flash player version 10.2.159.1 all ready. I don't know if I should uninstall it then reinstall... Well enough of my rambling I'll let the veteran users have the final say.
I'm running Kubuntu and have tested flash video sites with firefox, chromium and rekonq. I have installed all the available packages from Software Management but flash videos still don't display correctly. All get is a small rectangle of video on the bottom left hand side of the video box (which is otherwise grey).
Is it possible to install and use Flash Player whilst running under a Tor enabled browser. I have seen a version compiled to run under Windows but don't want to go backwards! I am running Ubuntu 10.10.
Just a little question about installing the Adobe Flash Player. I downloaded the Flash Player library in tar.gz format directly from Adobe. I want to install it in the default plug-in directory for Opera, which is /usr/lib/opera/plugins. When I try to copy the file, I get an error saying that I do not have the sufficient permissions to copy a file to that directory. Does anyone know how to copy the file using the command line, using the SUDO command?
I upgraded Opera to version 11.00, and also upgraded on my computer Adobe Flash to version 10.1.102.64 (or 65 if I recall). The Flash update reflects properly in Firefox and Google Chrome, but unfortunately it does not show up properly in Opera. It shows that Opera has 10.0.45.2 as the flash version. Why is this not updating with the Opera and Flash updates?
after I upgraded from Lucid to Natty, Flash doesn't work in Opera any more. In Firefox I have no problems.
As suggested in another thread, I tried installing Flash-Aid for Firefox and reinstalled Flash with this extension, but no luck. I also tried purging and reinstalling Opera:
sudo apt-get purge opera sudo apt-get install opera No luck.
