I can not play embedded video's in firefox when "Compiz" or "Emerald" is active.
So this problem only occurs with "embedded" video's in Firefox with "Compiz" or "Emerald" active.
When I go to youtube's webpage itself I can play the video also with "Compiz" or "Emerald" active, but than the video control functions, like stopping the video, don't work. When I switch "Compiz" off there is no problem and I also can play embedded video's in Firefox.
It is not clear to me whether compiz or emerald is the problem because when I switch compiz on, emerald also is switched on automatically.

PS. What I mean with that I can not play the video is that the video is there but does not start when I click on the start button.
I get the impression it has something to do with the control buttons not working, not with the video itself.

PS. The problem seems to be in Compiz. I completely removed both Emerald and Compiz and then reinstalled Compiz again. The same problem as described above came up again. As I said it looks like the video control buttons don't work (properly) so
maybe flash player also could be the problem.

I can confirm this, happens with Kubuntu Karmic Koala with Compiz enabled, embedded videos don't register the "play" click, but when visiting the Youtube site videos (and controls) work fine.

[Jan Sloep (mverschoof)]

Thanks for your response. I will install 64 bit flash and hope this
workaround works.

Regrads, Jan Sloep
