8.10 64bit: ustream.tv and 12seconds.tv do not work properly

[Charles Profitt]

The current Adobe plugin in the repositories does not work properly when trying to use live streaming as is found on ustream.tv and 12seconds.tv.

I tried running this w/o the Nvidia restricted drivers and got the same result.

Tried this again today after all the updates and it is still not working on either site.

Here is the output of lsusb:

20090304 Is this still an issue for you it seems that both are working flawlessly on my 64bit install

[Charles Profitt (cprofitt)]

Yes it is still an issue for me. I can watch or broadcast audio, but the video camera is not recognized by flash. The camera is recognized by cheese and the same video camera works on an 8.04 install.

[Jakob Unterwurzacher (jakobunt)]

1) Broadcasting Audio+Video does not work?
2) It still doesn't work in 9.04 or 9.10 ?

[Charles Profitt (cprofitt)]

1) Yes, it still does not work.
2) a. It still doesn't work in 9.04 w/ 32bit Flash from repo nor 64bit Alpha from Adobe; in 9.04 I can not watch a broadcast from ustream.tv either. (regression)
2) b. I have not tested it in 9.10 yet, but will in the next few days.

Jakob - what do you want as information that has not already been provided?

Ok, just to update on this bug, I managed to get ustream to work in a Kubuntu Karmic 64bit box so here it goes. Found these instructions in the webcamstudio webpage (http://www.ws4gl.org/):

Go to http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html

Set ustream and everything else you want to "always allow".

It's an ugly workaround, there are privacy issues with it, but at least it gets ustream to work. Video and sound streaming now work perfectly from here.
