I had Minitube working in Fedora. Didn't do so well in Debian. |

I've used debian-multimedia.org and the "real" flash player for so long I didn't even know about minitube. |

TA: What distro are you on? Flash has _never_ worked flawlessly for me. OK, two months maybe, but after I went from 'Square' (the development version) to stable last week it started destroying Firefox (both 3 and 4) and Opera again. So maybe I should move to another distro. But it's a bit weird given we probably use the same Flash-library coming from Adobe's website. |

hk I've used Flash on mandriva, Ubuntu and now Linux Mint 9, never had a problem with it. Not only that I've not had any complaints about flash from any of the people I've set up with Linux (using Mandriva Ubuntu and Linux Mint). |

Thanks for letting me know TA! I knew you were using Mandriva in the past and now Ubuntu, but I were not sure. Do you have any idea while some people on those distro's mentioned had Flash problems (IIRC) and you didn't? I spoke to people running the same distro as I did, who enjoyed 'flawless flash', so I'm still trying to figure out. I think there is some complex interaction between FF, Flash plugin and some ' core' libraries, but I'm not sure. And I always have GID collisions, seems to be an issue with libX11 or somethin, though I'm not sure if it's a problem. Currently, using the stable flash player on FF4, whenever I click another video flash halts, meaning I can actually reproduce the bug. I should be filing a bug report I guess, as this marks the first time I can reproduce. |

hk, I really don't know. All I know is that when I set up a machine I make sure to install all the CODECs using the w32 (or w64) libraries, the Ubuntu restricted libraries, and anything else that's on the "you might not be allowed to install these in your country" list. When I was using Mandriva that was from the PLF repositories, with Ubuntu/Linux Mint it's the repositories available via MediaUbuntu. Other than that I can't think of anything. For me Flash has just worked, regardless of the Video card, on some machines the Video can is Intel, on others ATI, and on my main machine it's nVidia, so I can't find any commonality there. My main machine is running 64 bit Linux Mint, but I have several machines running 32bit Linux Mint and Ubuntu, and the machines I've set up for others are usually 32 bit Ubuntu and Linux Mint, I think there is still one machine running Mandriva. On the other hand when I try to use MiniTube I get missing libray or invalid Codec messages. I just reinstalled minitube. the message is "Could not open source media" |

Install the latest minitube PPA and get the latest. Word is that it works good. |

Gary I'm not really all that interested. Flash works just fine for me. |
