I have also problems with web videos, on Youtube for example.
It's a friend PC: mobo K7VTA3 Elite group, CG ATI radeon 8500 (yes, pretty old)
I made a fresh install with nonfreeboot.iso and Mageia2 i586 Free (on USB stick) with KDE. Then I installed the repositories, made an update and installed flash-player-plugin and flash player-plugin-kde, as shown here:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa --last | grep flash-player-plugin
flash-player-plugin-kde-11.2.202.236-1.mga2.nonfree ven. 03 août 2012 20:57:15 CEST
flash-player-plugin-11.2.202.236-1.mga2.nonfree ven. 03 août 2012 20:57:11 CEST
[root@localhost ~]#
In firefox about:plugins, I can see :
- Divx web Player
- IcedTea web
- QuickTime
- Shockwave flash
- Skype buttons for Kopete
- VLC Multimedia
- Windows Media Player
If I open now Firefox and go in Youtube, the videos remain a black square. No error message.
If I try a right click in the black square, I have the same pop up menu that anywhere in the screen, no settings.
What can I do ? any idea ?
Thank you.
