Hi,
After installing Mageia2 and installing Flash from the Mageia software repository, I was unable to view videos from Amazon. When starting the movie, a message would appear that the player is being updated, then I got this error:
"An error occured and your player could not be updated. This is likely because your Flash player or Browser needs to be updated.
This update is required to play back this video."
The solution for me was to go into the Mageia repositrory and install HAL, (Hardware Abstraction Layer). There is some info on the Adobe web site about this requirment. After installing HAL, then deleting:
~/.adobe/Flash_Player/AssetCache
~/.adobe/Flash_Player/NativeCache
and restarting the system, I was able to play the movie.
Just thought I would pass this along if anybody else is searching for a solution.
