Ubuntu Multimedia :: Fullscreen Flash Videos Appearing BEHIND The Browser
Apr 3, 2011
Ubuntu 64-bit
Chromium
Every once in a while, clicking the fullscreen icon on a Flash video will result in the video playback overlay appearing behind the actual browser requiring the browser to be minimised to see the video. Sometimes this will minamise both and I can't watch it at all. Reproducible with this video [URL]

i got the weirdest flash player problem on the planet. so, here's what the problem is. whenever i play low quality 360p flash videos in fullscreen in firefox, i get horrible performance and it eats up all the cpu resources, as compared to 1080p fullscreen video, which is smoooooooth and doesn't take up as many resources as low quality videos. why is that? i am using flash 10.2 beta 64 bit and have 64 bit ubuntu, but the problem persisted even on the stock flash player.

i have ubuntu 10 lts and have searched the forums and internet yet not resolved this issue so hope i`ve posted in the right place. i have installed, via the ubuntu software manager, the latest adobe flash as every browser i try crashes within at most ten minutes of trying to play a flash video full screen, usually within four minutes. i cannot play anything on bbc iplayer or videos fullscreen and i have no idea why. i have the latest flash plugin and have tried chromium, midori, firefox, opera, conkerer (not konqueror) and epiphany and every one crashes. tried firefox in safe mode and it still happens, opera just stops playing the video but all the other browsers crash except chromium which tells me the flash plugin stopped working. i really need it working and don`t want to have to return to windows just for flash so has any one an idea where i can start in solving it?

Iceweasel, Konqueror, makes no difference. Embedded flash videos make them crash every time. I had to install Flash Control on Iceweasel just to make it usable.

The kicker is I can't recall ever installing flash support in the first place.
I'm bitterly regretting the upgrade to 8.2. It's just one damn thing after another.

And when I say a lot of tearing I mean tearing when their is barelyany motion at all. I know that my video driver isn't the problem because when Iswitch to fullscreen any tearing that their might be is barely noticeable. AlsoI haven't noticed the problem while in gnome. Reproducible:AlwaysSteps to Reproduce:1. Watch an online video while in kde2.3.Actual Results: Tearing while watching videos regardless of the amount of motion

I am using lucid and the adobe-flashplugin 10 package. When I watch programmes in fullscreen on the BBC iPlayer or Channel4-on-demand player it works fine but switches back to windowed mode after about 5 or 10 minutes. I put it back into fullscreen and the same thing happens after the same sort of time. I read this thread about flash switching out of fullscreen when the volume is adjusted, but I'm not adjusting the volume...how can I fix this?

I put ubuntu on an old 3 ghz p4 and I went on to ....., the video was choppy especially when I switched to fullscreen. I have heard that flash is slower in linux, but here's the thing I have an old live cd for a distro called artistx, I think I burned in 2008, and I remember watching flash videos fine on it. I put it in the pc just to test it and then after it booted I went to ..... and watched the same video in 480p and fullscreen and it played back smoothly. Has flash gotten slower or is it ubuntu?

When I click on fullscreen (.....) PC hangs completely. I need to hard reset it. This is happening almost everyday.
Tried deselecting the hardware acceleration but no improvements.
Even in window mode flash is making the system very shaky.
Using FF 5.

n an up-to-date kubuntu karmic I experience the following:watching a flash video with adobeflash in firefox in fullscreen mode, randomly the picture freezes while the audio continues. The video unfreezes when I move the mouse, the video then fastforwards to the actual replay position. Video card is nvidia geforce fx5200 on proprietary driver, I have the desktop effects enabled. Any idea what this is about? I discovered the effects causing wine windows to break (no window contents, no foreground, no reaction on mouse) when changing the desktops or minimizing them. Seems like there are some bugs in the window manager / decorator...

i just upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 from 9.10, and now i can't view any flash video in fullscreen mode (videos, atdhe, etc.). when i click on fullscreen firefox crashes instantly. everything was working fine in 9.10.
i looked around on the forums; i tried to install the flash-aid extension for firefox. it says that my architecture is 32bit, then reinstalls the flash plugin, but that doesn't help; fullscreen still crashes. i also tried to install the 64bit version from adobe's website, but that doesn't help.
i had a look at the mozilla website [url] i tried to preload the libgl.so.1 library as suggested there, but that doesn't help. i wanted to try to disable hardware acceleration in the flash player settings, but i can't even change the settings; when i right-click on settings, the adobe small preferences screen appears but i can't click on anything, nothing works.
that's all on ubuntu 10.04 with firefox 3.6.3 and flash player 10,0,45,2. i also installed the newer 10.1 flashplayer plugin from the adobe website, but firefox still crashes.

Sound is fine in flash video, but gets garbled in fullscreen.
Another problem I'm having is that when I turn the volume past 60% using the sound applet on the panel, it gets very distorted. If I open sound preferences, I notice it is in the "amplified" zone at this point, so I have to keep it in the "unamplified" zone, but then it's not loud enough.
Here is my soundcard info:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio C
ontroller (rev 02)
Subsystem: Lenovo ThinkPad T60/R60 series

i've got a mythbuntu 10.10 box connected to my tv; sometimes i want to use it to watch internet tv. owever, when i try to resize videos to full-screen, sometimes black bars intermittently flash across the entire screen. this does not happen when the video is in a window or on the web page, only when going into full-screen mode. unfortunately, on some of these sites, even the "large" in-page video selection is still too small to be comfortably watched from the couch.
i'd suspect it's something with flash, but a similar thing happens when i'm using skype inside a windows xp on vmware. black bars flashing across when in "full-screen" but just fine when zoomed up inside a window. and i don't think vmware video output is flash-based. so it may be something else entirely.
also, this doesn't happen on all internet video - i've only had it happen on video from nbc.com and nfl.com (i haven't really had the opportunity or reason to try many other sites yet), and it was only a little noticeable from the nfl.com but nearly unwatchable from nbc. yet if i go to videos, i have no trouble getting any of their videos running full-screen.
i have an integrated geforce 8200 graphics, and i'm running the nvidia proprietary drivers version 256. i'm not running 260 since its vdpau capability is questionable, and i need that for mythtv. i have a 64-bit system.
does anyone have any ideas regarding this? the fact that i'm getting consistently good results from videos yet consistently bad ones from the tv networks makes me wonder if it's something i'm even going to be able to fix.

As the title implies I can't use the fullscreen feature in a flash video because all the screen turns white &, wherever the pointer was, get noticed as a faint shadow. I can increase the screen only if using the keyboard shortcut <Ctl++> keys combination.Have Shockwave Flash 10.1.r82 add-on. Firefox version is 3.6.8. Ubuntu = 10.0.4 LTS.

Sometimes in BBC iPlayer - Bigscreen the fullscreen video does not open on top, and then none of the lirc remote control commands (irxevent) function, not even Escape (nor Alt-TAB, which would bring the fullscreen on top if I used the keyboard - but sitting in the TV couch I would prefer using the remote only).
This often happens on my SuSE 10.2 partition, especially when wanting to resume a video, but never happens on my Kubuntu 9.10 partition. Both are 32-bit using KDE 4.3.5 Firefox 3.5.8 and Adobe Flash 10,0,45,2.
How can I get the fullscreen on top??

I am running debian linux wheezy, and recently, all of a sudden, all videos in my iceweasel browser have been refusing to play videos of any kind at full volume. I am, however, able to download the video and play it at full volume on vlc player or sytem video player.Why iceweasel is acting this way?

I am having a little problem with my flash player, the video plays fine but I can't get any sound. The sound card works properly with any other application, such as Amarok, but not with flash videos and my hardware is mostly Intel witch is linux-friendly from what I know, so I guess that it isn't a driver problem. Therefore, I switched from windows to linux only a couple days ago, so it may be a newbie issue as well.
I'm using Kubuntu 10.04 64-bit with HDA Intel audio chip set with flash player 10.0.45.2. If anyone have a solution/explanation,

I have some flash(.swf) movies that I created and I would like to create one longer file with these files. I thought that avidemux could handle flash videos, but I get this error if I try to open it: "Could not open the file". Is there any other way to join 2 flash videos? I have noticed that I cant even play the files on vlc.

over the last few weeks (i forget exactly when it started) viewing flash videos with konqueror on videos and on the bbc news site has become a bit of a lottery. generally the video starts ok but after a minute or so the video sometimes just disappears -- not even a black box, just white screen and no adobe flash menu on a right-click. the problem happens maybe 50% of the time with videos over a minute or so.
i have seen this on two different boxes both with karmic with the backports enabled. the problem certainly occurs with both kde 4.3.4 & 4.3.5, and i think it was also seen with 4.3.2. does anyone else see this problem? if so is there a fix? i think the following are the most relevant package versions:
code:
ii flashplugin-installer 10.0.42.34ubuntu0.9.10.1 adobe flash player plugin installer
ii konqueror 4:4.3.5-0ubuntu1~karmic1 kde 4's advanced file manager, web browser and document viewer

I'm trying to convert downloaded Flash videos to mp4. I first tried WinFF (a front-end to ffmpeg) and got an error message, so then I tried using ffmpeg directly in the terminal, only to get the same message. I remember doing this same thing in the past with no problems, so something must be wrong. I'm on Karmic 64 bit. The message I get is the following:

Last few years (as long as I use linux) I tried several ubuntu/debian installations, on 6-7 different computers (desktops/laptops)What a notice in common on all these installations is that flash videos and games run REALLY bad.Is this a common problem for all debian based distros or I am doing something wrong? I din't give much attention in past (even if tried some repeating flashplayer installations) but last month I'm building a flash arcade site and this flash player problem become a real pain.
