I have no explanations for the first and third experiences but can reproduce the second one if I don't do what is described below. > On the Jessie machine, I installed Pipelight.

I've just did a completely new installation of flashplugin-nonfree on a machine which had never seen it. Your eternally turning white circle is what I get. My feeling is that this has something to do with protected video on 4od. https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/flash-player-11-problems-playing.html Installing hal, hal-info, libhal1 and libhal1-storage cures it for me but you seem to have a more diverse set of issues. For some reason which I cannot remember I got the debs from a Ubuntu PPA. Maybe the Wheezy ones didn't work for me.
