all youtube videos come up as "unavailable"

[Shaya Potter]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

The version of adobe's flash plugin in the jaunty repositories is 10.0.0 d569. The version you get when you download it from Adobe is 10.0 r22.

On my machine, with the version in jaunty, flash generally works correctly. However, I've noticed, if I try to view a video from youtube (be it either embedded, or at youtube.com). It doesn't work, and instead for every single video says "this video is no longer available". This was obviously a lie, as this was even for videos on youtube's homepage, and youtube-dl worked fine for downloading the flv.

I thought it might be due to some extension on my machine preventin hte plugin from downloading it correctly. disabled all of them, no change.

Today, I decided to download the plugin (10.0 r22) from adobe and install it into my homedir. I disabled the version from jaunty's repositories and youtube videos play fine.

there's something really wrong, but I can't believe that other aren't having success, as I'd assume there would be lots of complaints about youtube not working.

Are you behind a Firewall or something like that. It seems as if the flash-plugin couldn't connect to the video (streaming) server.

At school I recently face the same problem on Windows. At home (ubuntu) everything works fine.

no, same laptop, same location, same firefox (but restart between tools->add ons->Plugins and enable/disable the two separate flash plugins to switch between them)

Thank you for your bug report. Can you give us a step by step description? With which videos do you have the problems?

[Shaya Potter (spotter)]

Ancient, not an issue in a while.
