Are these videos also flashplayer based movies or different media files (mpeg, avi...)? Anyway, if you launch the video from command line probably you will get more information on why it fails to load. > it's almost as though some cache or other gets filled up and vids stop > playing. the machine i use is a quad core with 7G memory. > > any ideas on what the problem might be? Firefox has its own cache management system but the video you play locally is only limited by your system resources and given the specs on your computer this shouldn't be a problem. Anyway, you can check for your free space with "df -h". Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
