Are we sure, as Paul says, it is the same flashplayer? The plugin from Adobe, which is what flashplugin-nonfree installs: brian@desktop:~$ ls -l libflashplayer.so -rw-rw-r-- 1 brian brian 17459332 Aug 7 19:50 libflashplayer.so The plugin from flashplayer-mozilla: brian@desktop:~$ ls -l libflashplayer.so -rw-r--r-- 1 brian brian 17432460 Aug 11 18:14 libflashplayer.so The md5sums are different too. Now, why is that and does it matter? The respective packages are based on the same source. http://www.adobe.com/uk/software/flash/about/ identifies both plugins as the same version. I am not claiming the file size difference implies different behaviour. I would move the flashplayer-mozilla plugin in /usr/lib/mozilla out of the way and substitute the flashplugin-nonfree one. What does that get us for 4od and the iplayer? > Nonetheless, flashplayer-mozilla works on my desktop and flashplugin-nonfree > doesn't. FOR THIS SPECIFIC CHANNEL. Intriguing. Are the HAL packages installed?
